This blog post will teach you how to do just that. Keep reading for tips and tricks on how to seal the deal. Happy selling!

What Is a Sales Phone Call?

A sales call is when a salesperson contacts customers for the purpose of making sales. These calls can be in-person, on the phone, or via email. They are done to follow up with customers after an initial meeting, can help you know what they think about their product so far, and to get them excited about buying it.

Salespeople also use sales calls to get valuable information, such as customer needs or what problems they are having with their current supplier.

Sales calls are done by all types of salespeople, including telemarketers, insurance agents, and even door-to-door salesmen. Most often, these people are paid on commission, so the more they sell, the better off they are financially.

How To Close a Sale Over the Phone

Here are five secrets to closing the deal on the phone:

1. Ask For Permission Before Running Your Pitch

When you send out an email marketing blast or make cold calls, there is no easy way to track whether or not someone actually received it in their inbox. To avoid this, try calling instead. When they pick up, make sure you ask for their permission to avoid being ignored.

2. Tell Them What’s in It for Them

People buy from people who have their best interests at heart. When you're on the phone with someone trying to get them interested in purchasing from you, start off by reassuring them that whatever product or service you're offering is going to help solve a problem or address a need they have.

3. Know Your Numbers

One of the most important things you can do when trying to close a sale over the phone is to know your product inside and out. You need to be able to answer any question your customer might have, and you should have a solid price point that you're comfortable with.

4. Stay Positive

No one wants to deal with a salesperson who's negative or constantly puts down their competition. When you're on the phone, stay positive and upbeat. Be excited about the product or service you're selling and make the customer feel like they're making a good decision by choosing you.

5. Ask For the Sale

It may sound simple, but sometimes all it takes is to ask for the sale outright. If you've been building up to your pitch and explaining all of the benefits of what you're selling, don't be afraid to ask the person on the other end to buy from you.

Conclusion

When it comes to closing a sale over the phone, there are a few things you can do to make the process easier. By following these tips, you can improve your chances of success and make the sale that much closer.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
