Why do your customers buy?


They laughed at me when I started using these, but then I outsold them ALL!

If you don’t take the time to understand why your clients buy, you can sell until you are blue in the face. In order to succeed at sales you need to understand not only that question, but the following questions as well;

What do my customers buy? How do my customers buy? Where do my customers buy? When do my customers buy?

By finding answers to these critical questions, you will obtain terrific insight into your customer relationship. You will also have a sound understanding of how your value statement lines up with your customer’s needs.

It may seem straight forward, but you would be amazed how many salespeople can’t answer those simple questions. They are destined to struggle and will have a very difficult time closing sales.

Knowing the answers to these questions will set the foundation for your relationship with your customer. It will determine when and how you engage. The answers will also determine what sales strategies you are going to employ.

Think about it. What do your customers buy? Are their purchases seasonal? If they are, what are their purchase patterns? Do they buy without much thought? Or do they spend months evaluating their alternatives before they pull the trigger.

Sit down and have this conversation with each of your clients. Calling it a customer case study might be a bit of a stretch, but the information you obtain will be valuable. Plus, the client will appreciate you asking. The fact you are taking time to understand their business environment can go a long way toward establishing strong client relationships.

A general rule of thumb during these conversations is that all selling by you is off limits. The goal is to simply understand why your customers buy.

Get that answer, and your sales will grow.

Thanks for reading.

Good selling.
