Billy Mays And Product Demonstration Skills

Posted by Nick in Sales Training To Improve Sales Results | 0 Comments »

Billy Mays Knew How To Demonstrate Products

I just got the sad news that Billy Mays died today at the age of 50. As a sales trainer, I always enjoyed Billy Mays and his product demonstrations. Billy Mays was more than just a pitchman. He was a salesman with solid product demonstration skills.

The challenge for informercials is to cover the entire sales process in a flash. That’s not easy but Billy Mays always got the job done. I don’t know if he wrote his own copy but he sure delivered the message with a unique style.

There is a difference between how professional salespeople sell and how informercials sell. I’m passionate about salesmanship so I observe it all around me and study every form.  Say what you want about them but informercials use some powerful sales techniques to get customers. I don’t recommend that professional sales reps try to copy Billy Mays. All I’m saying is that you can learn a lot about selling by studying his informercials.

Yes, they can be annoying at times but informercials got the sales process down to a science. Billy Mays would greet you with that big smile, introduce the product, demonstrate how it worked, promote the benefits… and close the deal with a passion. Billy Mays made you wonder how you got along without it.  Billy Mays also mastered the sales process.

Billy Mays was the king of the one call sales close.

Why Selling Techniques Work To Increase Sales

Posted by Nick in Sales Training To Improve Sales Results | 0 Comments »

Understanding Selling Techniques
By, Nick Moreno

Too many sales reps get selling techniques all wrong. They think selling techniques involve manipulation and tricks. Selling techniques have nothing to do with smoke and mirrors. Let’s discuss selling techniques and why they work to increase and earn more commissions.

Honesty About Selling Techniques

Professional selling and honesty go hand in hand. The same hold true for the sales skills used by the top pros. The top pros know better than to try to manipulate someone into giving them an order. Instead, they use selling techniques to effectively communicate why a prospect should buy their product or service.

Selling Techniques About Benefits

The top pros know that prospects don’t buy a product for the sake of having a product. Prospects buy products to solve a problem or gain an advantage. Selling techniques focus on a product’s benefits. Instead of selling a washing machine, sell the clean clothes. Understanding that point will allow you to better understand why selling techniques work.

Selling Techniques And The Sales Process

Selling techniques are about effective communications between the person selling and the person buying. This communications process follows a well-defined format. That format is called the Sales Process. All selling techniques are about perfecting the Sales Process. If you are not familiar with the Sales Process, I urge you to get some solid Sales Process Training. That’s the only way to develop the sales skills required to succeed in sales.

The Power Of Selling Techniques

Powerful selling techniques turn ordinary sales reps into extraordinary sales reps. Unfortunately; many sales reps never take the time to develop their sales skills. They just keep on selling the same old way. Think about all the commissions they are passing up just because they never invest in proper sales training. If you are not benefiting from powerful selling skills, you’ll never enjoy great sales success. My advice, Don’t let that happen to you!

Top sales reps enjoy a great life and I want the same for you. That’s why I produced a program all about powerful selling techniques. There is no longer a reason not to enjoy the commission checks of the top pros. All you need to do is start using their selling techniques.

I hope you better understand selling techniques and how then can help you advance your career in sales.
