More-so than words can be the difference in your client being engaged, interested and trusting in you. Don’t position yourself higher than the client (looking down). Take note of their posture and almost mimic them Don’t fold your arms (defensive), hands in pockets (not professional) or point at them (aggressive). Convey a sense of warmth and hospitality Eliminate any bad habits or distracting mannerisms
A key element so take careful note of its effectiveness, and consider key aspects such as: Clarity Pitch and tone Variety and vitality Projection Confidence
Maintain eye contact with your audience Move your eye contact amongst everybody in the audience Everyone should feel that you are speaking to them ‘sweep the room’ Gauge the impressions on everyone’s face
A warm welcoming facial expression is very important so try to smile and look happy and relaxed and enjoying presenting
Good posture helps convey that you are confidant, knowledgeable and powerful Be alert, confident, fresh and happy to be there Upright, shoulder back, chest out, belly in, feet slightly apart Relaxed and in a similar state to the rest of the audience
Don’t let your dress let you down Dress as smart as the best dressed person in the audience If audience members are wearing suits and ties, then you should wear suit and tie If the audience is dressed casually then it is ok to dress less formal But should at least always be in a neat and professional attire.
The basic principles are the same Just remember that even the most skilled and experienced negotiators will feel discomfort when negotiating The only difference is a skilled negotiator has learned to recognize, and suppress the outward signs of these feelings.
Learn how to read people’s emotional states Understand the sensitive areas of their egos Learn how to counsel them Help them without becoming aggressive or overbearing Sometimes you need to re-set their sights when they’re wishes prove too unrealistic
The person with the most information does better Learn as much about the clients situation. Ask questions about their purchase & learn what is important to them. Ask questions such as: What brought you to consider this purchase? Who else have you been speaking to? What was your experience with…? What time frames are you working with? What is most important to you about this?
Learn as much about your competitors as possible. This will help to understand what is the best price you can get and prevent someone using competitors to negotiate against you
Research the likely best price this client can afford Decide on your breakpoint (the lowest amount/cheapest price you will accept in the deal, the "worst-case scenario” Open high - Open at your maximum sustainable position – without making a first price that puts the buyer off Plan how you will move in your proposals.
Offer extras. What else can you sell that is of low value to you, and high value to them? Offer discount if the can pay up front/deposit Offer a better price if a larger volume purchase – longer/more rooms Sometimes you just have to walk away. There is always someone else to sell to and you dot want to make a loss or give the impression that the bungalows are worth less than they are
