Sales Training Minute Solution: Interrupting Prospects
Let your prospect discuss their need for gain, profit, pain reduction, pleasure or solutions in full.
- Ask a question, write the answer - it takes time and is a reminder not to interrupt the prospect.
- When a prospect responds, force yourself to count to three before you respond - do it silently!
- Master the art of the "pregnant pause" - shake your head periodically, place your index finger to your chin, give other non-verbal responses like leaning forward, showing interest, appear relaxed, look surprised. Then, and only then, say something.
- Remember...never interrupt, but always allow prospects to interrupt you.
