What Is Selling?

What Is Selling?

At its essence, selling is handing over something of value in exchange for money or another item of value. But to get to the point where someone is willing to part with their money to obtain an item or service often requires persuasion.

Not all sales transactions are equal. There is a huge difference between buying gas for your car and buying a car. In the first instance of buying gas because the tank is empty, there's no persuasion involved.

• Buying a car, on the other hand, is often not an imminent need. It involves a larger investment to obtain and generally requires a salesperson to assist you.
• How Selling Works
• If you're selling a product or service, you need to focus your selling efforts on communicating the benefits to the buyer. People buy solutions or items they believe will make their lives better or happier or fulfill a specific need.

Requirements for Selling

• Requirements for Selling
• Selling is crucial to business success but is often a task many dread. Fortunately, sales can be learned and can be done without being smarmy or obnoxious. Here are a few traits and skills needed to be a successful salesperson:
• The ability to build long-term relationships with customers one at a time: Most good salespeople think long-term about how they can leverage the current sale into more business in the future from the same customer or with referrals.
• The ability to listen to the customer: Too many salespeople spend their time attempting to talk the prospective customer into buying without finding out what the customer actually wants. Customers buy solutions or things that make them feel good. You can't do that if you don't know what the customer needs or wants.

Tenacity: A good salesperson knows that it may take several attempts to make a sale and never gives up on a potential customer. Instead, they have a follow-up system to stay in touch with prospects. Somewhere down the line, an email or phone call reminder might close the deal.

Self-motivation: Successful salespeople have a high level of initiative. They constantly look for new opportunities and view setbacks as learning experiences. They hold themselves accountable for their performance and don't blame others or current economic conditions for lack of success.

Self-promotion: This might include handing out business cards and other promotional materials, developing and using an email list, creating a website, and using social media postings.

• Investing in the community: Giving back to the community you work in by donating to charities, sponsoring community groups, and engaging in volunteer activities is not only good for the soul, but it's also good for business. Investing where you work increases the likelihood that customers will return the favor when they need your products or services.
• Types of Selling
• There are various sales tactics and systems, some of which are effective and some that should be avoided. Here are some of the most common approaches

High-pressure sales: Sales professionals are often told buyers are liars and that to get the sale, they need to push hard and not take "no" for an answer. Most buyers don't want to be pressured, though. High-pressure sales usually fail or lead to a buyer that regrets their purchase.

Transactional selling: This approach focuses on making quick sales; there's no attempt to form a long-term relationship with the customer. While transactional selling tends to be looked down on, it does have its place. Looking at it from the customer's point of view, sometimes a simple transaction is all the customer wants or needs. For example, buying gas for a car or a new outfit
