Just Ask
By: Dave Kemp
For the big three automobile sales consultants the employee discount pricing has made it to easy to sell. It has been great for a change. But... dont let this style of short cut selling sales process continue or you will lose sales! You must deliver a complete positive sales process with NO short cuts to sell successfully now. Without the hype of the last months you need to deliver a better buying experience to the car shopper or you will walk to many buyers into the open arms of the next salesperson.

Summer Sales Success Hint Ask Your Customer to Buy!
Most sales people do not get what they want: a Sale. Most customers do not get what they want: a new vehicle!
Why Because the salesperson didnt do his/her job
The job
To ask your customer to buy.
One of the simplest rules to increase YOUR sales is to learn to just ASK. As a Professional Development Sales Coach for over 20 years I have observed thousands of salespeople in sales situations who fail to ask for the customer to buy a vehicle today.
Now I believe in making sure your sales process is good enough to earn the right to ask the customer to purchase. But I also believe in asking for a prospect to buy. It doesnt mean you will always get the sale but you have nothing to lose by asking. Think of how many customers may have said Yes if you had asked OK what is holding you back Is it because:
1. You might be rejected
2. Someone will think you are pushy
3. You are afraid to
4. The sale isnt likely
5. You dont really want a sale because last night you
won the lottery Any of these apply to you
KEYS TO SUCCESS Ask yourself: What is the worst that could happen if I ask for them to make a decision
* They might say NO. Wouldnt that be a hoot Then they might even tell you why they wouldnt buy right now if you ask!
* Then you give a good reason to buy now rather than later then they might say Okay.
* Your customers will be delighted because their problem is solved. They have what they came to get a new vehicle. You have what you came to geta new customers. All because they met a salesperson who asked them to buy.
* Most salespeople just wait and hope the customer will make the buying decision themselves. They just give in without asking.
* The secret to increased summer sales is simple. Give a reason to buy and then ask them to buy. You wont get a yes every time you ask it isnt that kind of world but Ill bet you should be asking more!!
This weeks action hint: Ask your customer to buy more often. You may be surprised with the result!
This weeks affirmation: I am worthy of more in my life. All I have to do is Ask.
