5 principles for successful sales and service on the phone New article

 

"What is understandable about a language is not the word itself, but the tone, strength, modulation, the pace  with which a number of words are being spoken - in short, the music behind the words, the bias behind the music , the personality behind this bias . Everything that cannot be written. "

 

Friedrich Nietzsche

 5 principles for successful sales and service on the phone:

 

1. End the conversation in an impressive way: in each service the end is more important, because the conclusion of a conversation stays longer in the memory of the client.

2 . Make sure that "bad " news are quickly forgotten; the client wants to be informed in advance about  bad events or bad outcomes, not to face them in the end.

3 . Serve what is pleasant in portions, summarize the unpleasant. Customers remember longer  the conversation / events only when they are distributed in smaller portions. That’s why, sum up the unpleasant things and present pleasant experience in more portions.

4 . Reinforce the commitment of the customer with opportunities to make choices. Customers become more susceptible and feel bound in a process when they feel  they can participate in decision making or they have the right to choose.

5 . Suggest rituals and stick to them. Defined, repetitive and familiar happenings of processes  give your customers a sense of security, order and meaning.
