Struggling to sell your consulting services and win more consulting projects? LEARN MORE HERE: https://www.consultingsuccess.com/5-s... TRANSCRIPT: Here’s how to win more consulting sales. People often refer to it as “closing” more sales. I’m going to offer you here some insights, some mindsets, and ways of thinking about this to help you actually win more business. 1. Forget About Closing The Sale (For Now) The key to closing more sales is don’t focus on the close. That sounds counter-intuitive and the opposite of what you should do, right? “To win more sales, to close more — I shouldn’t focus more on the close? “ Exactly. If you’re a consultant and you’re working with savvy and sophisticated buyers in well-established organizations, you don’t want to go in there trying to persuade or twist people’s arms to buy. You don’t want to use some sales tactics that are “hypey” and uncomfortable. No one wants that. The buyer doesn’t want it. You don’t want it. So why are you trying to do it? The first thing is don’t go in with a mindset of “we need to close this person.” 2. Focus On What Comes Before The Sale Instead, what you want to do is you want to focus on what comes before that. You want to focus on the conversation. It’s everything that happens before you go to win that business and before you go to close that business that is what counts. In that conversation, you want to identify the value. You want to identify or communicate the value that the buyer cares about. In order to do this, you want to ask the right questions. 3. Ask The Right Questions When you ask the right questions, you’re able to identify — and then communicate — the value. The value that the buyer cares about. It’s not about your methodology, your presentation, the delivery, and how you’re going to do the work that the buyer is thinking about when it comes to a consulting project. The most effective consultants understand that it’s all about what’s going on in the buyer’s mind. It’s all about what is important to them. What is the outcome that they’re looking to achieve? What are the results that they care about? What will the ROI look like for them so that they feel excited to make that investment? You want to dig into some real meaningful, deep questions to identify the value and the problem the buyer has to get them to see the cost of not taking action, not moving forward — and then communicate that value back to the buyer. So that they see that. So they confirm it — and agree to it. ... READ MORE: https://www.consultingsuccess.com/5-s...
