The Right Sales Approach Induces the Customer to Buy

We all know that a part of salesmanship is giving the customer what they want \r and need. With that said, it is important to first understand that we all have basic \r human needs. We all have the need for food, clothing and shelter, but most of us \r want more in life than the bare necessities. We all want some pleasures in life.\r It\'s just human nature.

Some measure their success by how many pleasures in life they can give \r themselves. Others measure their success by how much they can help others.\r By finding out the personal interest of the prospect the salesman can decide\r what sales approach will work best. This can give you a huge advantage in your \r sales approach because it will open the door to a wide range of sales possibilities.

Find out what\'s close to the prospects heart and zero in on it. Many factors can \r contribute to a prospects interests. Their interests may be affected by life \r experiences, education and financial condition. What state of mind and health is \r the prospect in? What habits have they formed? Are they heavily influenced by\r friends and associates? By listening to and observing the prospect you can learn \r a lot about what interests them.

Is the prospect interested in something that will contribute to their well-being?\r Do they want something that will give them pleasure, or save them time and \r energy?

Don\'t make the mistake of trying to satisfy all of what appeals to the prospect. \r One may offset the others making none of them effective. Focus on one, or two \r things that motivates the prospects greatest desires then choose the one that\r relates best to the others and play those things up in your sales approach.

Here is something you may want to keep in mind. The entire range of human\r Interests falls into seven groups...protection, power, popularity, property, affection, \r sensation and sentiment.
