From the<br />

PUBLISHER<br />

The Month of<br />

Dad’s and Grads<br />

FIRST and foremost I would like to thank<br />

everyone who reached out with kind words<br />

as we celebrated our 43rd Anniversary last<br />

month. It has been a long and winding<br />

road over the past four decades and I am<br />

honored and blessed to still be around<br />

to service the industry. We have come a<br />

long way since our first 24-page, 5000<br />

circulation local newsletter to where we<br />

are today. Thank you again, I am truly<br />

grateful every day.<br />

HAVING been in this industry so long I<br />

have had the experience of dealing with<br />

declining and recession economies. The<br />

one thing I have learned from weathering<br />

the storm is to Be smart about everything<br />

you do because there is no time to waste or<br />

money to burn.<br />

THE good news is that recessionary<br />

periods usually do not last too long. The bad<br />

news is that if your business was marginal<br />

before the slow down you may not make<br />

it through without intense planning and<br />

revisions. Since we are in an election year<br />

the economy could whip back and forth<br />

sporadically so it may be a wild ride. I<br />

never get political but do advise each of<br />

us to review where we were under the last<br />

administration vs where we are now. The<br />

answer should be your barometer as to<br />

where we hope to be next year.<br />

THE month of <strong>June</strong> is the month of Dads<br />

and Grads. It is a good month for retailers<br />

because even if less money will be spent,<br />

>> ON-LINE SOURCING<br />

there WILL be money spent. Our job is to<br />

make sure that the money is spent at OUR<br />

businesses. Gifts for Dad can range from<br />

sporting goods, auto accessories, grilling<br />

accessories, lazy boys and the like. And,<br />

while Grads come in all sizes and ages<br />

ranging from pre-school to high school<br />

and college grads eyeing that shiny new<br />

Lexus or Tesla!<br />

IT is never too late to quickly add a sign<br />

in your window display or a banner on<br />

your website inviting customers to buy<br />

their dads and grads gifts from your store.<br />

Have too many exploding golf balls in your<br />

novelty store? What a fun dad gift that<br />

could be. If you have mugs or glasses, fill<br />

them with candy and assorted novelties,<br />

throw a ribbon on them and voila, a readyto-go<br />

inexpensive gift item.<br />

BE creative at your store and remember<br />

that it is all about making sales and<br />

having appropriate merchandise for all<br />

holidays and seasons. The goal of all retail<br />

businesses is to ensure that your shoppers<br />

think of YOUR store or website every time<br />

they need to make purchases. Your mission<br />

is to make sure that they do.<br />

WE are looking forward to the summer<br />

show season and meeting many of our<br />

readers and supporters at the summer ASD<br />

show this August. We have sponsored the<br />

event since 1981 and it has been a great<br />

resource for all retailers.<br />

THE BEST FOR PETS<br />

THE pet industry is a multi-billion dollar one and is also quite a competitive<br />

one because most retailers do not have great access to merchandise so they are<br />

dependent on just a few wholesalers who do not allow them to make good<br />

markups.<br />

THEN along comes CloseoutPet.com and the game changes. This well<br />

established company specializes in new and brand name merchandise for<br />

pets of all kinds. They have a full range of products for dogs, cats, reptiles,<br />

birds and small animals. The prices are fantastic and will allow you to make<br />

a great markup and stilll offer your shoppers bargain prices.<br />

YOU will fi nd some of the most popular brands in the marketplace and<br />

buy at prices that rival the big box stores. This month’s special Adams Flea<br />

and Tick Collar just $1.33! 100’s of other deals online now.<br />

RUSH TO BARGAINS<br />

THERE is a new wholesaler of variety merchandise in town that offers<br />

Daily Deals to give retailers the most competitive prices they have ever seen!<br />

Rush Suppliers has a tremendous variety of apparel, electronics, health &<br />

beauty aids and more available at their online shopping site.<br />

THE best thing about Rush is that their buyers scour the market every<br />

day to find the best deals and bargains to pass along to you. Often you are<br />

able to make 400% mark-ups on their offers, which is huge for retailers.<br />

With new items every day offered to you you’re able to give your buyers<br />

great variety of goods and mix it up every day. There is also NO minimum on<br />

orders, which makes this even more special.<br />

THIS month’s special deal (while they last) is a special Bikini Wrap Dress<br />

in assorted colors that is fashion forward and sure to sell out. These retail<br />

at $29 and are available to <strong>Forum</strong> readers for just $7 each, Stock up as the<br />

swimsuit season starts and make a fortune with Rush Suppliers.<br />

BUY BELOW WHOLESALE<br />

NOW more than ever it is important to buy products at the sharpest possible<br />

prices so you can make more margins when you resell at your store or online<br />

site. With the costs of goods increasing so rapidly it is harder than ever to<br />

follow the double mark-up rule that was the gold standard or retailing. We<br />

have had to become much more competitive to make sales and part of that<br />

is not being able to get the mark-ups we need.<br />

THAT was until now! <strong>Forum</strong> Publishing has released the new<br />

CLOSEOUT DIRECTORY and Coursebook that lists (by merchandise<br />

category), companies that specialize in closeout priced goods. These are<br />

products that can be overstock, overruns, discontinued goods, store<br />

returns and product changes.<br />

CLOSEOUT merchandise can be bought 25-75% off regular wholesale<br />

prices and will improve your bottom line by mixing these goods into your<br />

lines. The Closeout Directory is just $29.95 in print or PDF versions.

RETAILING NEWS<br />

Consumer Confidence Still Problem<br />

WHILE the overall U.S. economy charged ahead, The Conference Board Consumer Confidence<br />

Index deteriorated for the third consecutive month in April, retreating to 97.0 (1985=100) from a<br />

downwardly revised 103.1 in March. Despite three consecutive months of weakness, the gauge<br />

continues to move sideways within a relatively narrow range that’s largely held steady for more than<br />

two years.<br />

“CONFIDENCE retreated further in April, reaching its lowest level since July 2022 as consumers<br />

became less positive about the current labor market situation, and more concerned about future<br />

business conditions, job availability and income,” said Dana Peterson, Chief Economist at The<br />

Conference Board. “Despite April’s dip in the overall index, since mid-2022, optimism about the<br />

present situation continues to more than offset concerns about the future.”<br />

THE Present Situation Index—based on consumers’ assessment of current business and labor<br />

market conditions—declined to 142.9 (1985=100) in April from a downwardly revised 146.8 in March.<br />

Meanwhile, the Expectations Index—based on consumers’ short-term outlook for income, business,<br />

and labor market conditions—fell to 66.4 (1985=100) from a slightly upwardly revised 74.0 last month.<br />

An Expectations Index reading below 80 often signals a forthcoming recession.<br />

Walmart Adds More Private Label Brands<br />

WALMART Inc. is starting a new line of store-brand groceries, with an eye toward Gen Z shoppers<br />

who are prioritizing value. The Bentonville, Arkansas-based company is calling the line better goods.<br />

It’s the retailer’s largest private-label grocery launch in two decades, with about 300 items across<br />

categories ranging from dairy to snacks, Walmart said in statement Tuesday.<br />

THE new products, including items like Oatmilk Non-Dairy Frozen Desserts and Hot Honey<br />

Seasoning, aim to capture emerging food trends and use specialized ingredients. About 70% of<br />

these items will sell for under $5, though they can cost as much as $15, the retailer said.<br />

“WALMART’S private brands have seen strong growth over the last several years” in particular due<br />

to the pandemic and inflation, said Scott Morris, senior vice president of private brands, food and<br />

consumables at Walmart. Sales of store brands are growing across all demographics at Walmart,<br />

especially Gen-Z, he said, adding that younger consumers are brand-agnostic and driving interest<br />

in private-label products. Private-label products, which are typically cheaper than branded items,<br />

bring in higher margins and boost loyalty among shoppers. <strong>Retailers</strong> have expanded their offerings<br />

in recent years, adding more premium, cuisine-specific or lower-cost versions.<br />

Selling More...<br />

USING 3 RULES: FEATURES • BENEFITS • REACTION<br />

How many Feature, Benefit, Reaction sequences<br />

should you use in Step Five of<br />

your presentation? Our research indicates<br />

that three or four are sufficient. If you have<br />

done a thorough job in Step One: Approach and<br />

Step Two: Qualification, you have discovered exactly<br />

what this person wants or needs to buy. Your<br />

prospect’s response to your reaction questions now<br />

tells you how accurately you have judged his or her<br />

needs.<br />

Three Feature, Benefit, Reaction sequences,<br />

aimed precisely at what is important to each individual<br />

prospect, are usually enough to persuade<br />

anyone to buy or act now. If that is not enough, you<br />

will learn in the next chapter how to come back and<br />

Page 32 JUNE <strong>2024</strong> | RETAILERS FORUM MAGAZINE<br />

supply your prospects with even more sound reasons<br />

to buy and still exert almost no pressure at all.<br />

Think how this approach differs from the way<br />

most salespeople conduct sales calls. If the product<br />

or service has fifteen important features and benefits,<br />

how many do they stress? Sixteen, right? That’s<br />

too many. More than three or four overloads the<br />

listener and creates too much pressure, causing the<br />

prospect to retreat.<br />

The Track Selling System on the other hand<br />

helps you see things through your prospect’s eyes<br />

and provide genuine, beneficial service. With the<br />

Track Selling System, you accurately zero-in on<br />

the prospect’s dominant Buying Motives and help<br />

the prospect “try on” those benefits beforehand;<br />

you only need three or four Feature, Benefit, Reaction<br />

sequences to make the sale.<br />

IN WHAT ORDER OF IMPORTANCE?<br />

Suppose you have chosen three Feature, Benefit,<br />

Reaction sequences that are on target for your<br />

prospect. You know one is good, the second is even<br />

better, and the third is so ideal for that prospect it<br />

would knock his socks off. How should you present<br />

them? Our research shows that you will be most<br />

effective if you present your Feature, Benefit, Reaction<br />

sequences in increasing order of desirability to<br />

the prospect. That is, first present the feature and<br />

benefit that you know he will like.<br />

Next, present a feature and benefit he will really<br />

like. Third, present a feature and benefit he will<br />

love. Building in that order carries the prospect to<br />

an emotional high.<br />

Also, as a rule of thumb, the first reaction question<br />

should be open-ended. This will, of course,<br />

induce your prospect to become fully involved in<br />

contemplating the possible benefits. It is possible<br />

that your prospect could become too involved, and<br />

forumworkshop<br />

you may be faced with an overload of responses. If<br />

this happens, use a closed-ended question to temporarily<br />

stop your prospect and return his or her<br />

attention to your next Feature, Benefit, Reaction<br />

sequence.<br />

You control the participation of your prospect by<br />

the type of reaction questions you ask. If you are<br />

not getting as much reaction as you like, then ask<br />

open-ended reaction questions. If you are getting<br />

more reaction than you want, your next question<br />

could be closed-ended, or in some instances your<br />

reaction might be a statement instead of a question.<br />

For example, if in the qualification step your<br />

prospect said that quality was extremely important<br />

and the benefit you are talking about stresses quality,<br />

you wouldn’t say, “How important is quality to<br />

you?” The prospect has already told you that, so<br />

your reaction might be “and you have already told<br />

me how important quality is to you.”<br />

“WHAT’S THE PRICE?”<br />

As you ask your reaction questions, listen to what<br />

your prospect has to say. Each time you receive a<br />

lukewarm or negative reaction, that tells you not to<br />

stress that feature or benefit again in your presentation.<br />

However, the prospect’s enthusiastic reactions<br />

will help you zero-in on the real reasons the<br />

prospect has for buying the product or service you<br />

sell, and these are the features and benefits you will<br />

stress most in the rest of your presentation.<br />

There are dozens of legitimate logical and emotional<br />

reasons for a person to buy the product or<br />

service you sell. This technique helps you stress<br />

only those of most importance to each individual<br />

prospect.<br />

Page 36<br />

AFTER COMPLETING YOUR THREE FEATURE-<br />

BENEFIT-REACTION SEQUENCES, ALWAYS ASK:<br />

“DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?”<br />

If the prospect asks a question, answer it. Then<br />

again ask, “Do you have any other questions?”<br />

Keep asking until your prospect runs out of questions.<br />

Hopefully, somewhere in that list of questions<br />

will be this one: “Yes, I have a very important<br />

question. What’s the price?”<br />

JUNE <strong>2024</strong> | RETAILERS FORUM MAGAZINE<br />

This prospect has already made positive decisions<br />

about you, your company, and your product or service.<br />

The next Buying Decision, in precise, psychological<br />

order, is the price.<br />

It is much better, psychologically, if your prospects<br />

bring up the subject of price. Normally, that<br />

question will come up very naturally during this<br />

portion of your sales presentation. If the prospect<br />

Prospect: What does this policy cost?<br />

Salesperson: For your car insurance on two automobiles,<br />

including the liability, collision, and uninsured<br />

motorist coverage, the annual premium is<br />

$430.<br />

As I mentioned earlier, when you quote the price,<br />

I strongly suggest you do not use the word “cost”.<br />

For some reason, “cost” is a negative impact word.<br />

Instead, use words like “investment”, “fee”, “price”,<br />

“annual premium” – anything but the word “cost”.<br />

SAMPLE DIALOGUE FOR<br />

STEP FIVE:<br />

FILL THE NEED<br />

In the following conversation between salesperson<br />

and prospect, notice that Barbara feeds back to<br />

Terrel three benefits she knows he cares about.<br />

Salesperson: Terrel, there are several, important features<br />

I’d like to tell you about our Hawaiian tours.<br />

One of the things that sets us apart from other tour<br />

companies in Hawaii is that we’ll put a tour together<br />

that will allow you to choose any of three islands.<br />

What that means to you is that you decide how you<br />

want to spend your time. That may mean that on a<br />

two-week vacation, you spend one and a half weeks<br />

on Maui, because you like the coral reefs, or because<br />

you like the tours we talk about there, or that you<br />

only spend three days on Kauai and maybe a single<br />

day and night in Honolulu. It sounds like you and<br />

your wife wouldn’t mind limiting your time on that<br />

island. Wouldn’t it be nice to have that personal<br />

kind of flexibility, using our planning resources,<br />

but letting you pick exactly where you would like to<br />

spend the bulk of your time?<br />

Prospect: Boy, that sure would be nice. That didn’t<br />

happen to us in Mexico. They told us how much<br />

time we were supposed to spend in each area, and<br />

many times our likes didn’t match up with theirs.<br />

One place that they seemed to be pushing, we felt<br />

that we’d seen enough in half of a day.<br />

Salesperson: Another feature that I would like to<br />

tell you about our tours is that we handle all the<br />

transfers from where you get on the plane, to your<br />

greeting at each island, to actually driving you to<br />

your hotel accommodations and back, to the starting<br />

point of each scheduled tour. What that means<br />

is that we’ve worked out an arrangement with the<br />

local people on all the islands in Hawaii, so that<br />

when you get off that airplane, you go to a specific<br />

sign posted, which is easy to find, that says, “Happiness<br />

Is Hawaii Tours Meet Here”. You’ll be met by<br />

a local tour guide, and a special ceremony will take<br />

place to show you some island greeting customs. I<br />

don’t want to ruin the surprise for you, but most of<br />

our travelers are pretty pleased by the way they’re<br />

treated. Many say they feel like royalty. Best of all,<br />

you don’t have to look at a map and struggle to find<br />

your hotel in a new location. You’ll be delivered<br />

right to the front door. Have you ever had the experience<br />

of trying to spend time trying to figure out<br />

whether it’s more economical to be by cab, bus, or<br />

trust your sense of direction in a strange rental car?<br />

Prospect: Boy, I guess you must have been along<br />

on our Mexican vacation. I looked pretty foolish<br />

to my new bride when I took the wrong turn to our<br />

hotel.<br />

Salesperson: (Laughs) Another thing that I think<br />

would appeal to your family is that on this tour<br />

package, on each island, each family member, for<br />

one price, can pick one special activity that they can<br />

engage in for no extra charge. What that means<br />

is that your kids can have a guided tour around<br />

the island if they’d like to see that. Or, at the<br />

same time, your kids could be out there having a<br />

I’m sure this is going to cost me a lot.<br />

Prospect: Yeah, I guess the big question. I’m, pretty<br />

willing to buy. In the next step, Act of Commitment,<br />

you will learn to close the sale – and feel<br />

good about yourself in the bargain.<br />

THINGS TO REMEMBER<br />

• In Step Five, you help your prospect make positive<br />

decisions about your product or service and<br />

the price by using the Feature, Benefit, Reaction<br />

sequence<br />

forumworkshop<br />

• Name the feature of your product or service<br />

• Paint a vivid, word picture of the benefits that feature<br />

provides<br />

• Ask a reaction question tied to that benefit<br />

• A feature is a fact about your product or service:<br />

it’s size, shape, color, frequency, availability, what it<br />

is or does<br />

• A benefit is something intangible that answers the<br />

prospect’s question: “What will it do for me?”<br />

• People buy benefits, not features<br />

• Do not confuse benefits to the end-user with<br />

benefits to your prospect if they are not the same,<br />

for example, a retailer. Appeal to your prospect’s<br />

needs, not necessarily to the consumer’s.<br />

• Present three Feature, Benefit, Reaction sequences in<br />

increasing order of desirability to the prospect<br />

• Sell, don’t tell<br />

• Use the Feature, Benefit, Reaction sequence to<br />

determine your prospect’s dominant Buying Motives<br />

STEP SIX:<br />

ACT OF COMMITMENT<br />

Now that you have helped your prospect make the<br />

first four Buying Decisions positively, your prospect’s<br />

only remaining decision is when to buy. And<br />

when is it? Now! Now is the time to ask for the<br />

order – to “take up the collection”. Now is the time<br />

to ask for whatever act of commitment you had as<br />

your objective for this sales call.<br />

VETERAN SALESPEOPLE KNOW THAT<br />

A CLOSE REALLY MEANS THE OPENING –<br />

AND OPPORTUNITY – OF A NEW CYCLE<br />

OF BUSINESS<br />

Maybe that is why the average salesperson finds<br />

it difficult to close. When you close, it is not the<br />

wind-up of a sale you are facing, but the moment of<br />

WHEN IS A CLOSE<br />

NOT A CLOSE?<br />

It is not actually true that you “close” a sale. This<br />

term gives beginning salespeople the impression<br />

that once they have closed, they have finished the<br />

transaction.<br />

truth – evidence of how well you opened the presentation<br />

in Step One and Step Two, your understanding<br />

of the prospect’s needs in Step Four, and<br />

how well you met those needs in Step Five.<br />

If a salesperson would close only one time, I think<br />

productivity would increase by fifty percent. Not<br />

long ago, I was out in the field with a sales force of<br />

ten, and not once did I see any of them even try to<br />

close the sale. Most “closes” go something like this:<br />

Salesperson: This phone system has quality parts,<br />

well put together.<br />

Prospect: That’s good to hear.<br />

forumworkshop<br />

Salesperson: We use state-of-the-art fiber optics in<br />

our transmission lines.<br />

Prospect: Fiber optics? We’re impressed with it.<br />

Salesperson: And you know it delivers clear sound,<br />

local or long distance. How might static-free<br />

phones help your telemarketing people?<br />

Salesperson: It takes a lot of heavy use.<br />

Prospect: Using phones is a big part of our sales<br />

and other operations.<br />

Salesperson: What does it do for your business to<br />

know that customers won’t be cut off at busy times?<br />

Prospect: Good point.<br />

Prospect: Quite a bit, especially with prospects.<br />

Salesperson: The system also carries the conference<br />

call feature and multiple line capacity.<br />

Prospect: (interested) Uh-huh.<br />

In Step Two: QUALIFICATION –<br />

You asked the right kinds of ques-<br />

continued...<br />

forumworkshop<br />

Decisions positively. Can you<br />

see how closing the sale should<br />

be a logical conclusion to your<br />

well-given presentation? You<br />

will find closing the sale to be no<br />

more difficult – and no more important<br />

– than any of the preceding<br />

Buying Decisions.<br />

THE CLOSING<br />

TECHNIQUE,<br />

IF DONE<br />

PROPERLY,<br />

DOES THE<br />

FOLLOWING:<br />

• It increases the odds that you<br />

will close in the first or second<br />

try<br />

• It keep you from creating a highpressure<br />

situation that puts your<br />

sale in trouble<br />

• It gives you the flexibility of<br />

trying to close several times<br />

without antagonizing the<br />

prospect<br />

• It establishes you as a credible<br />

sales representative, whose aim<br />

is to serve the buyer<br />

• It increases your productivity, in<br />

both the short and long run<br />

In Step One: APPROACH –<br />

You introduced yourself to your<br />

prospect and established warm<br />

rapport.<br />

TAKING UP THE<br />

COLLECTION<br />

Studies show that 62% of all salespeople never<br />

ask for the order. Is it any wonder then that 80%<br />

of those who call themselves salespeople are ineffective<br />

and unsuccessful? The people who make up<br />

this 62% may be timid, unsure of when to ask, or<br />

may fear rejection.<br />

I recall a young saleswoman who worked for a<br />

Los Angeles fruit juice company, which her father<br />

owned. She told me about a salesperson who had<br />

been calling on her company for over three years,<br />

but so far, the company had not bought anything<br />

from him. Finally, she asked her father, “Dad, how<br />

come you’ve never bought anything from that salesman?”<br />

“Because,” her father replied, “he’s never<br />

asked me to buy anything.”<br />

Many salespeople do not ask for the order because<br />

they (perhaps unconsciously) fear rejection.<br />

forumworkshop<br />

As long as they do not ask, they cannot be rejected.<br />

This does not make sense, of course, because<br />

the prospect is not rejecting the person or making<br />

a personal attack. The prospect is just saying “no”.<br />

“No” to the proposal. Maybe even, “no… for now”.<br />

“No” should serve as a challenge – a reason for<br />

learning how to persuade the prospect more appropriately.<br />

Kids understand this instinctively. When you tell<br />

them “no”, they know it doesn’t mean you don’t love<br />

them anymore; it just means “no”. In the following<br />

example, my teenage son “sold” me on lending him<br />

my car, regardless of my “no”. He did not take it personally<br />

at all. He just calmly continued to sell me.<br />

“Dad,” he said, “I want to borrow your car tonight<br />

for graduation.”<br />

I said, “No, you’re not going to borrow my car.<br />

Your own car runs perfectly well. Use that.”<br />

He understood that when I said “no”, it didn’t<br />

mean I didn’t like him or didn’t love him anymore.<br />

It just meant that he couldn’t use my car.<br />

So he said, “Dad, I’ve got an important date tonight<br />

and using your car would really make a great<br />

impression.”<br />

forumworkshop<br />

Use your own car.”<br />

He understood the generation gap, and he knew<br />

that for some reason he was failing to get me to understand<br />

his situation as he understood it. So he<br />

gave me another opportunity, and asked me a third<br />

time.<br />

Again I said, “No. You’re not going to use my car.<br />

This time I was adamant. “Ron”, I told him, “you<br />

have that car home by one o-clock sharp!”<br />

Well, you get the point. If you are not regularly<br />

asking for the order on your calls, just imagine how<br />

much more effective you will be when you begin doing<br />

it even once.<br />

If you get an objection, “The Track Selling System’s<br />

Guaranteed Close” – a precise, step-by-step<br />

procedure for asking for the order five times – lets<br />

you keep coming back, without creating a tense,<br />

pressure-filled situation between you and your<br />

prospect. I am not suggesting that you close the sale<br />

five times, four times, or even three times because<br />

it has been my experience that outstanding sales<br />

performers close the sale one time and it is closed.<br />

However, by knowing the Guaranteed Close sales<br />

procedure and having developed the ability to close<br />

the sale five times you will be prepared to deal with<br />

objections you encounter. The reason the outstanding<br />

sales performers are able to close a sale one time<br />

and have it closed is because they do a 100% job in<br />

each of the preceding steps. Closing the sale truly<br />

is the logical conclusion to a well given presentation.<br />

However, in the real world that we sell in,<br />

many times we do not do a 100% job in each of the<br />

other steps. Therefore, being prepared to deal with<br />

objections will pay off.<br />

THE ETHICAL WAY TO CLOSE<br />

The Negative image of salespeople comes, in part,<br />

from the old techniques of closing. These techniques<br />

include the “Impending Event” close: “Buy<br />

now, because the price goes up at the first of the<br />

month!” the “Assumptive” close: Assume that the<br />

prospect is going to buy, and start filling out the order;<br />

or the “Alternative Choice” close: “Do you want<br />

forumworkshop<br />

the washer and dryer in white or in gold?” Recently,<br />

I saw a very respected publication offering tips<br />

to salespeople on closing the sale and they advised<br />

the salesperson to answer a prospect’s question as<br />

follows:<br />

Prospect: Does this TV come in the new digital<br />

model?<br />

Salesperson: Do you want it if it does?<br />

These and other old methods of closing a sale were<br />

established 40 years ago. Can you imagine using<br />

those types of closes today, on today’s knowledgeable<br />

buyers?<br />

In contrast, the World Class Selling close serves the<br />

prospect. There is no manipulation, just skill. As<br />

Sheryl Diller, Account Executive for Volt Technical<br />

Service said, “I have yet to find a close that is as effective<br />

and non-threatening as the one you taught<br />

me.”<br />

ASKING FOR THE ORDER<br />

THE FIRST CLOSE<br />

You will have the opportunity to close five times,<br />

if needed, but the first time is so simple you may be<br />

surprised.<br />

The following statement will help you greatly.<br />

Again, I recommend that you use this precise wording<br />

to achieve maximum effectiveness and success.<br />

• “If we can (summary of action to be taken), can<br />

you think of any reason why we shouldn’t (summary<br />

of desired act of commitment)?”<br />

SUCH SIMPLE WORDS: “IF WE CAN…<br />

CAN YOU THINK OF ANY REASON WHY WE SHOULDN’T…?”<br />

AND, JUST LIKE THAT, YOU HAVE EFFECTIVELY ASKED FOR<br />

THE ORDER OR ACT OF COMMITMENT<br />

I don’t think you will find a softer sell or a more<br />

low-pressure close anywhere. This close will fit<br />

comfortably for you no matter what your own personality<br />

or the varied personalities of your prospects.<br />

It will fit comfortably for you no matter what<br />

product or service you sell. It will fit comfortably<br />

for you whether you are asking for the actual order<br />

or another act of commitment – any “next step” in<br />

the procedure that will lead to your successful sale<br />

somewhere down the road.<br />

Some sample closing questions might be:<br />

• “If we can guarantee delivery by the 15th, can you<br />

think of any reason why we shouldn’t go ahead?”<br />

• “If we can schedule the training of your technical<br />

people next week, can you think of any reason why<br />

we shouldn’t order the equipment?”<br />

• “If we can write your policy to be effective on<br />

Friday noon, can you think of any reason why we<br />

shouldn’t get your fleet protection in place for you?”<br />

These sample closing questions are short, simple,<br />

direct requests for the order. Yet at the same time,<br />

they exert almost no pressure.<br />

SUMMARIZING FUTURE ACTION<br />

After the words, “If we can…,” you give a summary<br />

of the action to be taken. In the examples above,<br />

the summaries promised delivery by a specific date,<br />

personnel training at a definite time, and a specific<br />

date on which the insurance coverage would take<br />

effect.<br />

forumworkshop<br />

Your summary of action to be taken might be the<br />

promise of a specific price, inclusion of specific<br />

components, a promise of definite follow-up service,<br />

and so on.<br />

After the words, “…can you think of any reason<br />

why we shouldn’t…?” you have made your direct<br />

request for the act of commitment. You have asked<br />

the prospect to go ahead, order the equipment, get<br />

the fleet protection in place, and so on.<br />

In short, you have asked your prospect to make a<br />

positive decision to buy or act now. You have “taken<br />

up the collection.”<br />

This question is not meant to imply that your<br />

product or service will take care of your prospect’s<br />

needs. You have already said that in Step Five: Fill<br />

forumworkshop<br />

the Need. The philosophy behind the closing question<br />

is, “If we will do business with you, will you do<br />

business with us?”<br />

ASKING FOR AN ACT OF<br />

COMMITMENT<br />

This closing question is equally effective when<br />

your goal is not to make a sale, but rather to get an<br />

act of commitment for the next step that will lead to<br />

a sale at a later date. For example:<br />

• “If we can coordinate schedules, can you think of any<br />

reason why we shouldn’t set up a demonstration on<br />

Thursday?”<br />

• “If we can get together with your technical people to<br />

get the specs on this, can you think of any reason why<br />

we shouldn’t put together a proposal?”<br />

• “If we can get loan approval, can you think of any<br />

reason why we shouldn’t meet again next week to get<br />

papers ready for escrow?”<br />

Naturally, you would not commit to a date or time<br />

that does not fit with your company’s ability to deliver.<br />

Whatever fits with your schedule of requirements<br />

is what you use.<br />

WHAT NOT TO SAY<br />

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF THE<br />

TRACK SELLING SYSTEM CLOSE<br />

Now that we have discussed what the Track Selling<br />

System close DOES NOT say, let’s explore what<br />

What makes the exact wording of this closing<br />

question – “If we can… can you think of any reason<br />

why we shouldn’t…?” – so effective?<br />

First, be aware of words and phrases that are not<br />

part of this request for the order. For example, I do<br />

not recommend using these words: now, today, this<br />

afternoon, or right away. Words and phrases that<br />

urge direct action take your close out of the realm<br />

of a simple, low-key, low-pressure request for a decision,<br />

and into the realm of high pressure selling.<br />

it DOES say. Notice the word “we”.<br />

“We” is used to reinforce the concepts<br />

that you and your prospect<br />

are working as a team. You are not<br />

adversaries; you are working to together<br />

to achieve common goals.<br />

Notice how odd it would sound –<br />

considering that you both had been<br />

building rapport, working together<br />

to define and solve needs or problems<br />

– if you said:<br />

• “If I can deliver this equipment<br />

on Monday, can you think of<br />

any reason why we should not go<br />

ahead?”<br />

forumworkshop<br />

“We” also means that both you<br />

and your company have to deliver.<br />

Next, the word “think” is important.<br />

It focuses the prospect<br />

on their own thinking, rather<br />

than on objections.<br />

Last is the most important aspect<br />

of this question: the fact<br />

that it is a negative question.<br />

The question, “If we can… can<br />

you think of any reason why we<br />

shouldn’t…?” does not ask them<br />

to buy; it asks them if they can<br />

think of a reason not to buy. If you have done an<br />

effective job in Step One through Step Five, helping<br />

your prospect make each of those Buying Decisions<br />

positively, the answer you can expect to hear is “no”.<br />

“no” to salespeople. Thus, you give them a simple<br />

invitation to say what they are psychologically most<br />

comfortable saying.<br />

Now this is a subtle and extremely effective piece<br />

of strategy. Why? Because psychologically, it is<br />

easier for most people to say “no” than “yes”. When<br />

they say “no”, it means they have just bought.<br />

However, there is an even more subtle, more<br />

important reason why it is easier for your prospects<br />

to say “no”. Most likely, 75% of salespeople they<br />

have encountered in the past have been incompetent<br />

and ineffective. Your prospects, therefore, are<br />

both experienced in and comfortable with saying<br />
