1. Get to know your Customer:
Successful sales is based on in-depth knowledge of the customer. Start by identifying your customers' needs, goals and challenges. Ask yourself the following questions:
- What is the customer's main problem?
- How does this problem affect their work and daily lives?
- How can you help solve the problem?
After understanding the customer's needs, identify your product or service as the most appropriate solution. Emphasize features and benefits that directly relate to the customer's challenges.
2. Build a Relationship:
Selling is not just a transaction, it is a relationship built on trust. Take the time to get to know your customers on a personal level. Take an interest in their business goals, show empathy for their challenges and build lasting partnerships.
When building relationships:
- Be an active listener and listen to the needs of the customer.
- Ask open questions to better understand the customer's situation.
- Show genuine interest in the customer.
- Keep in touch with the customer after the purchase.
3. Emphasise Value:
Focus on the value of the product, not the price. Highlight the benefits of the product/service and show how it contributes to the customer's success.
To highlight the value:
- Use quantifiable data to demonstrate the benefits of the product/service.
- Tell us success stories from satisfied customers.
- It emphasises the uniqueness and competitive advantage of the product/service.
4. Manage your Objections:
Customers often have objections, real or not so real, to the purchase. Be prepared for these objections and deal with them proactively.
When dealing with counter-arguments:
- Listen to the customer's concerns.
- Acknowledge the client's arguments.
- Emphasise the benefits of the product/service that outweigh the drawbacks.
- Offer alternative solutions if necessary.
5. Make an Offer:
Don't be afraid to offer the deal. Make a clear and confident offer that is tailored to the customer's needs.
When making a bid:
- Be concise and clear.
- Specify the exact price and payment terms.
- Offer a guarantee or refund.
- Stress the urgency of the offer, if necessary.

Develop a more effective sales strategy
The higher turnover requires first of all the development of a robust but flexible slash and burn strategy. A coach can help you plan this - whether it's defining business objectives, identifying relevant target markets, segments or clarifying the value proposition. They also analyse competitors, market trends and customer behaviour. Taking all this into account, they can develop an effective strategy based on the company's strengths and the market's needs.
Developing sales skills through targeted training
Even the best strategy is only as good as its execution by frontline salespeople. By assessing individual skills and weaknesses, a coach can deliver tailored training to the team, developing key skills - be they presentation, negotiation or even time management techniques. Well-trained salespeople will be more confident and effective, leading to higher conversion rates and sales.
Optimising the sales process
Even the most talented salespeople find it difficult to achieve good results if the sales process itself is stagnant or outdated. An experienced coach can take a bird's eye view of every step of this critical process and identify bottlenecks, waste and redundancies. Based on the opportunities thus identified, the whole process can be streamlined and modernised by incorporating technology and digitalisation wherever possible. A smoother, more transparent process will speed up customer acquisition.
Optimising customer relations and paving
The sale doesn't end with the signing - it's the long-term, positive relationship with existing customers that underpins new purchases and increased lifetime value income. A coach can map the entire customer relationship management process, including upselling, cross-selling and retention strategies. They can highlight gaps and common drop-off points and then work out how to improve these by enhancing the experience and deepening relationships.
Motivation system review
Last but not least, the coach can also review sales incentive and motivation programmes. A well-designed system will encourage the team to perform better and stay engaged. Rewards, bonuses, career management, work-life balance support can increase motivation and therefore revenue. The introduction of a coach brings objectivity and an external perspective.
A well prepared sales coach can help a company achieve its revenue growth targets in a number of areas. Whether it's fine-tuning strategy, streamlining processes, developing salespeople or optimising reward systems, engaging a coach is a worthwhile investment in the sustainable success of your organisation. Each of the five tactics discussed can significantly boost sales performance and ultimately profits in the long term.
Developing the sales team
In addition to the five tactics mentioned above, continuous development of the sales team is essential. Here are some tips to help your salespeople achieve higher levels of performance:
- Sales coaching: Organise regular sales coaching sessions. These sessions give salespeople the opportunity to discuss current challenges, share best practices and get feedback on their performance.
- Training: Invest in continuous training for your sales team. Provide training on new products and services, sales techniques and best practices in customer management.
- Motivation: Motivate your salespeople to achieve their goals. Use a performance-based reward system and recognise success.
- Tools and technologies: Use the power of technology to provide your sales force with the best tools. Discover tools such as CRM (Customer Relationship Management) systems to help you manage customer relationships, presentation tools to help you create compelling proposals, and sales automation tools to save time for your salespeople.
Maintaining higher turnover
Increasing turnover is important, but so is maintaining it. Here are some tips to keep the momentum going and achieve sustainable growth:
- Building customer loyalty: Acquiring new customers can be costly. And focus on retaining existing customers by providing an excellent customer experience and building a valuable reputation.
- Reviews and analyses: Regularly review your sales process and analyse the results. Identify weaknesses and implement changes to improve performance.
- Looking for new opportunities: Don't settle for the status quo. Constantly look for new sales opportunities in new markets or with new products.
Finish
Increasing revenue can be challenging, but with the right strategy and tactics it can be achieved. By focusing on customer insight, relationship building, focusing on value, managing counter-arguments and confidently making offers, you can increase revenue and build a successful sales team. A continuous focus on sales coaching, training, motivation, providing the right tools and technology, building customer loyalty, reviewing and looking for new opportunities can deliver sustainable growth.
