Well, unfortunately, we often fall into the trap of making the conversation about us, our stuff, and our company\u2019s track record. The fact is, we\u2019re hard-wired to do that, for the simple reason that we\u2019re human beings. During times of stress or uncertainty (like a discussion with a prospect), humans are highly likely to fall back on that which they\u2019re most familiar with \u2026 and the conversational topic we are most intimately familiar is ourselves! For a lot of us, the topic that runs a close second is the list of features and benefits that connect to whatever we happen to sell. We\u2019ve been trained by our organizations to be fluent in discussing that subject, of course, and for most salespeople, it\u2019s a topic that is constantly reinforced and updated.<\/p>\n<p>What if we were trained just as rigorously \u2013 and reinforced just as consistently \u2013 in the art of leading a buyer-focused conversation? What if we made that kind of discussion second nature? Here are three powerful best practices that you can practice and start hard-wiring right now.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_79_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/sandler.com\/blog\/3-tips-leading-buyer-focused-conversation\/#Tip_1_Know_and_be_prepared_to_raise_the_most_common_question_your_ideal_buyer_typically_has\" >Tip 1: Know, and be prepared to raise, the most common question your ideal buyer typically has.<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/sandler.com\/blog\/3-tips-leading-buyer-focused-conversation\/#Tip_2_Share_an_emotionally_driven_narrative_about_how_you_helped_someone_progress_through_the_buyer_journey\" >Tip 2: Share an emotionally driven narrative about how you helped someone progress through the buyer journey.<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/sandler.com\/blog\/3-tips-leading-buyer-focused-conversation\/#Tip_3_Ask_a_hook_question\" >Tip 3: Ask a hook question.<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_1_Know_and_be_prepared_to_raise_the_most_common_question_your_ideal_buyer_typically_has\"><\/span><strong>Tip 1: Know, and be prepared to raise, the most common question your ideal buyer typically has. <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Early on in the buyer journey, for example, it\u2019s likely that the decision-makers and stakeholders are researching major launch-related issues. For instance: \u201cWhat are the advantages of a customized solution as opposed to an off-the-shelf solution? What are the potential disadvantages? How long does it take to set up the customized application? How much of my time is it going to take for us to set it up?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Right now, in an attempt to answer questions like that, your buyers are likely getting a one-size-fits-all diagnosis from Dr. Google. They haven\u2019t been down this road before. You have. Instead of reciting features and benefits, <em>engage <\/em>with buyers about the questions you\u2019ve got good reason to suspect are on their mind. Identify the most common pressing question. Bring up the subject yourself. Then give them concise answers they can use. You will establish yourself as a resource and an important potential ally. Google is great \u2013 but it\u2019s not the same as having a real connection to an expert who\u2019s actually helped organizations do this before. That expert is you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You can build and expand the relationship, and position yourself for deeper conversations\u2026 by sharing just enough of your expertise to prove you\u2019re someone who should be on the buyer\u2019s radar screen.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_2_Share_an_emotionally_driven_narrative_about_how_you_helped_someone_progress_through_the_buyer_journey\"><\/span><strong>Tip 2: Share an emotionally driven narrative about how you helped someone progress through the buyer journey. <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>People communicate through stories. You have plenty of stories to share about how your organization has helped someone in a similar situation to the buyer&#8217;s to make the right decision\u2026 and get rid of a business headache. Pick one and share it.<\/p>\n<p>Note: This story is not an excuse to go into \u201chard sell\u201d mode! It is, however, a chance to use the power of narrative to share an exciting story about a customer\u2019s typical journey\u2026 a story that <em>isn\u2019t <\/em>about features and benefits, but is about how you helped someone deal constructively with a situation that carried a negative emotion: fear, uncertainty, doubt, worry, anger, concern, or anxiety. By the end of that story, share how the person you helped was experiencing the <em>opposite <\/em>of that negative emotion.<\/p>\n<p>For instance: They were worried that the rollout would consume months of time and attention they didn\u2019t have\u2026 but by working with you, they freed up their schedule, rolled out the customized solution seamlessly, and didn\u2019t have to stress themselves out \u2013 and they were pretty happy about that. Notice that this story is all about <em>emotion<\/em> (in this case worry, followed by happiness).<\/p>\n<p>Remember: People make decisions emotionally and then justify those decisions logically. <strong>The aim of your story is to appeal to the buyer\u2019s current negative emotional state, and show the way forward to a positive resolution<\/strong>. By the way, your story is going to be most effective when you conclude it by sharing <em>your own <\/em>doubt and uncertainty about whether you can deliver the same result for the buyer. You don\u2019t have enough information yet to be certain about that!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_3_Ask_a_hook_question\"><\/span><strong>Tip 3: Ask a hook question.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A hook question is one that grabs the listener\u2019s attention and at the same time spotlights your expertise and\/or your ability to listen. Good hook questions give the buyer something to think about, while simultaneously giving them a chance to provide feedback.<\/p>\n<p>Hook questions are not the same as hijacking the conversation! Your question should give the buyer the opportunity to change the direction of the conversation to whatever they feel is most relevant. And, of course, these questions give you the chance to demonstrate your ability to\u00a0 listen, think, and adjust to the buyer\u2019s needs. <strong>Remember, your job is not to convince the buyer to sign the deal today, but rather to start an interesting conversation. <\/strong>You don\u2019t need to get married on the first date. You just need to be intriguing enough to get a second date.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few examples of questions that might get your buyer&#8217;s attention and trigger a relevant conversation:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of our clients aren\u2019t interested in small incremental results. What do you think it would take for you to see a three to ten times ROI on a project like this?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that your competitor recently revamped their process for this. Were they far behind and trying to play catch-up, or were they pulling ahead to be cutting-edge in your space?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know you\u2019re a leader in your industry and probably already figured this out, but if I had a magic wand and could grant you one wish regarding your current processes, what would it be?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Strong hook questions like these acknowledge the intelligence and hard work both parties have put into addressing the problem so far, and they help you to probe for deeper discussion topics. You can use the responses your hook question generates to get a sense of the bigger picture and identify root causes\u2026 or you can ask for more details that will help you diagnose problems and define the solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Sales is a discovery and qualification process that requires some back and forth between both parties. Unless you ask the right questions, you won&#8217;t uncover your buyers\u2019 needs or figure out how to position your solution. Not understanding their needs will cost you the relationship; not having the information you need to make good decisions will cost you the deal.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t know where to start, a good open-ended hook question might sound like this: \u201cCould you tell me a little bit more about your situation?\u201d<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These three simple best practices will take you off of features and benefits\u2026 and focus you on the buyer.
