Copy rights and property by M.O.S.E. 65. Workshop PSSC Module 2: Professional Client Meetings KEEP IN MIND! IMPORTANT: Copy rights and property by M.O.S.E. 66. Workshop PSSC Module 2: Professional Client Meetings THE TEST CLOSING The right buying temperature arises, after Coming fewer or no objections anymore The client gives verbal and non-verbal buying signals Whether the temperature is good and/of favorable, we dont know (yet) We have to test it, by place a test close: The yes question ( closed question) Sir, do I get it right, you agree on the benefits? Do you need the first shipment next month? Can we deliver also in the weekend? At least 3 closed questions! Answers the client all of them with a yes, then you have to close for the order! Copy rights and property by M.O.S.E. 67. Workshop PSSC Module 2: Professional Client Meetings CLOSING TECHNIQUES There are different closings possible. For instance the following: The direct question The alternative question The reflex method The win/win method The write/fill-in method The reduction method The penalty method The benefit method Copy rights and property by M.O.S.E. 68. Workshop PSSC Module 2: Professional Client Meetings CLOSING TECHNIQUES Question: What is the most simple question to close a deal? Right! The direct question: Can I have this order? Only a few salesmen do this, are brave enough to do so. Why is that? You have come so far in your sales process: The client is convinced of the solution and added value There are no objections The test close was successful And now, you dare to ask for the order? Try it once and you will be surprised!Copy rights and property by M.O.S.E. 69. Workshop PSSC Module 2: Professional Client Meetings CLOSING TECHNIQUES The alternative question This is a very efficient closing technique: Do you take 2 pallets or do you prefer 1? Do we have to deliver still in this quarter or in the 3rd one? Do you take the motors with or without transmission belts? Shall we organize the transport or do you pick it up yourself? Do you take this car standard or including the winter package? Can we start implementation in June or will we start in July? Do you want the total package or without insurance?Copy rights and property by M.O.S.E. 70. Workshop PSSC Module 2: Professional Client Meetings CLOSING TECHNIQUES The reflex method The client asks: Can you deliver it in our special green bags within 2 weeks from now? Your answer: Of course! I take the bags with me right now and we put it on our next transport which will leave Wednesday already! Copy rights and property by M.O.S.E. 71. Workshop PSSC Module 2: Professional Client Meetings CLOSING TECHNIQUES The win/win method A question which always means an advantage for the client: Do you pay within 2 weeks or do you prefer our financing facility? Shall we send it today by reimbursement or do you make a prepayment? Shall we deliver against 2% discount payment within 2 weeks or 30 days net? Copy rights and property by M.O.S.E. 72. Workshop PSSC Module 2: Professional Client Meetings CLOSING TECHNIQUES The write/fill-in method This method is efficient but also bears risks. Besides that it needs a portion of professionality and courage of the salesman. If you are sure that the customer will buy, you just start with filling in the order and/or contract and ask him to sign it.Copy rights and property by M.O.S.E. 73. Workshop PSSC Module 2: Professional Client Meetings CLOSING TECHNIQUES The reduction method This is a method where you divide the investment by the time the product/service is used. Making marginal costs by, for instance: I know that 5000 is quite an investment, but if the live cycle is 7 years this is less than 60 per month. What do you think? 65000 is not nothing for this car. But 5 years later the resell value is much higher than with other brands and this is important for you, isnt it?Copy rights and property by M.O.S.E. 74. Workshop PSSC Module 2: Professional Client Meetings CLOSING TECHNIQUES The penalty method By use of this method you inform the client that if he is ordering later the price will be higher. If we can deliver before (date) then the price is still the old one, which is 5,2% less. In this action which runs until end of this month the transport is free. With an order of 2 pallets I can offer you an extra discount, but then you have to place the order before 17.00. As from (date) on we increase prices, if you order now we can still produce against the existing conditions. Copy rights and property by M.O.S.E. 75. Workshop PSSC Module 2: Professional Client Meetings CLOSING TECHNIQUES The benefit method With this method you repeat the advantages and benefits for the client (which he has accepted) and weighing it against small disadvantages in this solution. The location of this house is exactly what you where looking for since months. The kitchen is big, the garden direction south etc. Ok, the guest room is small but you are using it less than 5 days a year. Do you really want to drop all the benefits because of a small gust room?Copy rights and property by M.O.S.E. 76.
