Exhibit 4-1: Why People Buy– The Black Box Approach Internalization process is referred to as a black box we can’t see into the buyer’s mind Stimulus-response model Buyer’s Hidden Mental Process Sales Presentation Sale/No Sale Exhibit 4-1: Stimulus-response model of buyer behavior Stimulus Black box Response

What’s Known About Mental Process People buy for practical and emotional reasons Some thoughts can be determined

Psychological Influences on Buying Motivation to buy must be there Needs - lack of something desirable Wants - needs learned by the person Economic needs: The best value for the money Price, quality, convenience, and service

Psychological Influences on Buying, cont… Awareness of needs: Some buyers are unsure conscious need preconscious unconscious

A FABulous Approach to Buyer Need Satisfaction Stressing benefits is a very powerful selling technique FAB selling technique helps emphasize benefit Feature Advantage Benefit

The Product’s Features: So What? Feature – a physical characteristic Many salespeople emphasize features Examples: size color

The Product’s Advantages: Prove It! Advantage - a performance characteristic The chances of making a sale are increased by describing the product’s advantages How a product can be used How a product will help the buyer Examples: rapid copy on both sides

The Product’s Benefits: What’s in it for Me? People are interested in what the product will do for them Emphasizing benefits increases sales

People Buy Benefit(s) Notice national television commercials stress benefits

People Buy Benefit(s) High performing salespeople They know this increases their chances

What’s In It For Me? Stressing benefits in the sales presentation answers the prospect’s question

Can Not Leave Out Features and Advantages In the sales presentation it is also important to mention features and advantages Here is an example of how to stress a benefit while including a feature and an advantage:

Example: Sporting Goods Salesperson to Customer: “With this ball, you’ll get an extra 10 to 20 yards on your drives (advantage) helping to reduce your score (benefit) because of its new solid core (feature).”

FABs Can Be Awkward at First New salespeople are frequently not accustomed to using feature, advantage, and benefit phrases It may seem awkward at first

Use the FAB Sequence The standardized FAB Sequence can be used as follows: The…(feature)…means you…(advantage)…with the real benefit to you being…(benefit)….

How to Determine Important Buying Needs–A Key to Success L-O-C-A-T-E L O C A T E

The Trial Close–a Great Way to Uncover Needs and Sell The trial close asks for an opinion, not a decision to buy It gives feedback. The trial close is one of the best communication techniques in the sales presentation

The Trial Close Helps You to Determine: Whether the prospect likes the product’s FAB Whether you successfully answered objection Whether any objections remain Whether the prospect is ready for you to close

In These Examples of Trial Closes, Notice They Do NOT Ask Someone to Buy Directly “How does that sound to you?” “Is this important to you?” “Can you see how this can benefit you?” “I notice your smile. What do you think about…?”

Trial Closes For example: You just answered a question. Trial close: Does that You just finished talking about a proposal. Trial close: Am I

To Help You Properly Use The FAB selling technique and the trial close, incorporate the SELL Sequence into your presentation

SELL Sequence SELL Sequence S - Show Feature E - Explain advantage L - Lead into benefit L Let customer talk- Use throughout presentation

Adaptive Selling Based on Buyer’s Style Personality typing Real self I am Self image I think I am Ideal image I would like to be Looking glass self: how people think I am

Watch for Clues to Someone’s Personality Type How would you describe this person? What is their time orientation – past, present, future? What does their desk look like? What does their room look like? How do they dress?

Types of personality The Thinker: logic, systematic inquiry The Intuitor : knowledgeable/ futurist The Feeler: people oriented/sensitive The Senser: Action/ to the point!

Determining Style Can Be Difficult What is the person’s primary style? What is the person’s secondary style? Does the person’s style comprise all four types?

First Know Your Style This helps you to adapt to the style of your client Which leads to more sales Knowing your style helps you identify a person’s style, especially if your styles are the same (It takes one to know one)

Exhibit 4-10: The Three Classes of Buying Situations

Exhibit 4-12: Personal, Psychological, and Social Forces that Influence Consumers’ Buying Behavior
