To start, we want to ask you three questions… Do you work in sales? Are you bored with traditional methods? Would you like to sell by building lasting relationships with your customers and significantly increasing your closures?
If your answer is a resounding yes, then you need to learn about the Sandler Method, a revolutionary system that will teach you to sell without being a salesperson.
What does this mean? It’s time to forget about aggressive tactics and persuasion tricks and make way for empathy, active listening, and relationship building to generate trust and turn prospects into happy customers.
But let’s explain it with an example. Imagine you sell cars and someone comes in for information. With the Sandler method, the conversation would look like this. Imagine a conversation with a friend:
- Salesperson: How are you? How can I help you?
- Customer: I’m looking for a new car, but I’m not sure which brand to choose.
- Salesperson: What do you need in a car? What will you use it for?
- Customer: I need a spacious and safe car because I have a large family and restless kids. I will mainly use it to go to work and take my kids to school.
- Salesperson: I can recommend some options that fit your needs. What do you think of this model?
- Customer: I think it fits what I need, tell me more.
- Salesperson: Gladly. We can also schedule a test drive so you can experience it properly.
What’s the big difference? In traditional sales, you start giving information driven by your judgment, perhaps based on the cars that give you the most commission, or by an idea you have of what the person wants after seeing them for a few seconds.
With this method, instead of pressuring the customer to buy any car, you take the time to understand their needs and offer a personalized solution, ensuring a purchase not driven by impulse or pressure, but a purchase that results in a satisfied customer.
The Sandler Method teaches you to:
- Identify and qualify prospects to not waste time with people who are not really interested in what you offer.
- Build trusting relationships, getting to know your potential customers and creating bonds that go beyond the commercial transaction.
- Pay attention to what your customers say, and don’t say, to understand their needs and desires.
- Present solutions, not products. With this method, you offer personalized solutions according to each person’s pain points.
- Handle objections naturally.
- Close the sale naturally, guiding your customers towards the decision, without pressure. In other words, you convince them with your arguments.
The Sandler Method is not a magic formula, but it is a proven system that increases your sales, improves your closing rate, retains your customers, and develops your personal brand.
How can I start applying the Sandler Method?
There are many ways, but the main one is to research more about it, to see if it’s what you’re looking for and want for your sales approaches.
Once you’ve made the decision, you can enroll in a training course, read books and articles on the subject, and join other communities of professionals who practice it.
Remember that success in sales is not about being aggressive or insistent, it’s about building relationships and offering value to people.
