A few months ago I spent time training some telephone sales agents who were new to selling. They'd mainly been involved with handling incoming calls but now their company needed them to do some out bound sales calls. I spent two days running a sales workshop for them and another three days coaching them on the job.
The biggest challenge I had was trying to stop them selling. Or at least their idea of what selling is all about.
Many people who are new to sales and also some experienced sales people want to keep talking about their product or service. They open the conversation with one or two general questions which are often irrelevant to the customer and then launch into their sales spiel.
What then happens is that the customer thinks "Oh no Kyler Murray Black Jersey , I'm being sold to" and immediately disengages the brain and stops listening. The sales person then has limited success as far as getting a sale is concerned.
My job with these people was to try to get them to stop selling as they knew it. The most important thing in any sales call is to find out what the customer's needs are. The customer won't readily tell you what his or her real needs are so the sales person needs to do some careful probing. Questions need to be asked that are relevant to the customer's needs and relevant to your product or service.
It is often useful to open an outbound sales call with the question "Mr Customer I'm not sure whether we can help you or not, however I would like to ask one or two questions which will establish whether our product would meet your needs and benefit your business Haason Reddick Black Jersey , is that OK?"
This statement is perfectly true because, you don't know if your product or service will benefit the customer until you ask him or her some questions about their business. It will also have the effect of relaxing the customer if they feel they're not being sold to and that someone is interested and cares about their situation. If the customer believes this then closing the sale becomes so much easier.

As ever larger construction projects go on stream Christian Kirk Black Jersey , ever newer demands are put on speed of completion, security of workers and flexibility to construct changing designs as well as on the needs of the public for eco-friendliness and sustainability. Traditional concrete building construction is being taken over by precast concrete technology as it ticks all the boxes and more.
Some of the top benefits due to precast concrete arise out of its strength and uniformity. But the advantages straddle every aspect of building construction- from the height of the final installation of plumbing Chandler Jones Black Jersey , electrical, HVAC and to eco-friendliness and safety of the workers and beyond.
FEW OF THE BENEFITS ARE ENUMERATED BELOW:
STRUCTURALLY SECURE AND EFFICIENT: Traditional concrete building construction just cannot be compared with the precast concrete advantages and strength Pat Tillman Black Jersey , especially if we take large projects into consideration.
Precast concrete is specifically designed and constructed to have a significantly high span-to-depth ratio that allows it to bear loads better, reducing the need for additional columns and supports within the internal structure of the building. Its lighter weight can also reduce the size of needed structural material and overall foundational depth.
Precast concrete strength is packed in its lightweight construction and stays secure and can even be put under reduced dead loads when properly installed. The weight savings paired with high strength means buildings can rise to heights of up to 80 stories using precast concrete.
PREFABRICATED AND PREINSTALLED: Tilt-up concrete construction requires pouring and molding onsite limits what can be used for in internal structures and foundations. It is especially limiting it requires significant utility access. Precast concrete allows construction teams to pre-install utility access Hakeem Butler Jersey , fixtures and other elements.
