We believe that effective selling requires productive relationships built on reciprocal trust that comes from established credibility and a mutual understanding of value. A skilled professional must understand the psychology behind the process to: connect, collaborate, create, confirm and commit. What does sales truly come down to?

Confidence, empathy, and HEART.

H – Hear them out

E – Establish credibility and value

A – Answer objections clearly

R – Relationship oriented

T – Trusted partnership

When we put the process into action our goal is to help move individuals from “order-takers” towards “trust partners.”

While it is true that selling has changed dramatically over the past few decades (due to customer knowledge, globalization, technology, the internet, etc.), what has not changed over thousands and thousands of years is how people buy and where they decide to spend their dollars. When you listen to your customer you can find out their goals and align your objectives with theirs.

The skills to be a good salesperson are much the same as those in the nonprofit development world. Recently, Bethany had the opportunity to be a part of both the CCRI and the RACC fundraising events both raising over $100,000. When the mission was shared with heart, and the ask for support was made with confidence and credibility, it’s an easy “sell” for support.

In an environment where the seller cannot always win on price, it is important to be focused on the real customer wants and needs that will ensure mutual success.

Dale Carnegie

“Thousands of salespeople are pounding the pavements today, tired, discouraged and underpaid. Why? Because they are always thinking only of what they want. They do not realize that neither you nor I want to buy anything. If we did, we would go out and buy it. But both of us are eternally interested in solving our problems. And if salespeople can show us how their services or merchandise will help us solve our problems, they will not need to sell us. We will buy. And customers like to feel that they are buying–not being sold.” Dale Carnegie
