These images say a thousand words, but, on the internet,
this task is quite daunting. That is why you must have an exciting headline
to get people’s attention, yet leave out the fancy graphics... they take
too long to download, while a headline pops up on the screen in a matter
of seconds... just like on the home shopping networks.
2. Handle the customer’s objections. The first thing
the prospect sees, after his interest is perked, is the price at the
bottom of the screen. He is now asking, “Is this product worth the
price and will it meet my needs?" This is where the salesmen
and women show their expert sales skills.
Before they get on air, they have done their research
and know potential customer’s needs and objections.
They know that for each need and objection you ignore,
you may be missing out on a sale.
This same concept can be applied to the internet. By
writing to your customer in a way that he feels that you have the
perfect product for him, you can make a sale.
3. Show the benefits and justify the sale with features.
My favorite products to watch being sold are clothing. They have been
selling the same types of clothes for years, but they are able to
sell thousands and thousands of clothes that would never sell in a
department store.
They do this by citing benefits, like, “You will look
beautiful, and you will receive lots of compliments." This gets
the potential customer’s attention, but they are still hesitant because
they want to make sure they are opening up their pocketbook for a
quality product.
So the sales person will say, “This shirt is different
because it has original stripes, and it is a perfect fit." Now
the customer will have the justification he needs to make the purchase.
On the internet, this step is absolutely vital, and
the customer must know why he should buy your product. Do this by
making him picture what it would be like for him to use your product.
4. My favorite part... testimonials. On the home shopping
network, they always have people calling in to explain why they made
their purchase. The customers are doing this so they can justify their
purchase to themselves. Everyone wants to make sure he has made the
right purchase and so he calls in, so the sales person will say, “Yes,
you were absolutely right, and everyone else should take your advice."
I like the testimonials so much because I always have
to laugh at the various reasons people will use to justify their purchase.
As I am writing this article and listening to QVC, a
woman just called in and gave an extremely detailed explanation of
why she purchases from QVC and not from department stores. The woman
says she has been buying from QVC since the inception of the network
and she likes it because she does not have to go outside to buy her
clothes.
This example shows that you need to give testimonials
that allow prospects to find reasons to justify their purchase. People
want to buy, but they are not going to, unless they have a reason.
All this information is just a touch of everything you
can learn from the home shopping networks.
So get tuned in!
