The ability to make a good impression and communicate well with a prospect is key to making sales. To do this, you must know how to effectively present your product or service, respond to questions, and present your prices. If you have done a good job at building value, closing the sale can become a natural conclusion of your meeting. In this article, we discuss how to be more persuasive in sales meetings.

Learn About their Business

Before meeting with the prospect, learn about their business by looking at their online presence. In the meeting, ask them questions such as what is going well right now in their business and what their business goals are.

Show Your Expertise

When you are giving a presentation to a potential client, showing that you have the expertise to solve their problem will build trust and confidence with the prospect. You can do this in some of the following ways:

● Walk them through a PowerPoint presentation on your laptop.
● Show them case studies of past client successes.
● Show them that you are knowledgeable about their industry.

Radiate Confidence

When you show that you are confident in yourself and your ability to deliver results, the potential client will be encouraged to feel confident about working with you. So, by letting go of negative feelings such as self-doubt or nervousness, you will achieve better results. Record yourself to see how confident your voice and body language is. Be a leader and assume the sale. Be enthusiastic about your product or service because this implies that you are selling something good. But be willing to walk away if there is not a good fit.

Personalize the Interaction

When you personalize a sales conversation, it can make it more friendly so that the prospect does not feel like the meeting is all about making a sale. Here are some ways that you can personalize a conversation:

● Use the person’s name.
● Mirror the person’s body language.
● Hold eye contact comfortably.
● Have some “small talk”. You may want to skip the small talk, but it can help to build rapport with the prospect, which can even turn into a friendship or partnership later on.

Address Objections

Be prepared to address the possible objections that the prospect may have. You won’t necessarily make a sale with a prospect when you first try to sell to them. But it is important to check back with them from time to time to see if things have changed and if they are ready to buy.
