EP347: Feel The Difference - Live Role Plays on Roadmap Live
Description
Eric shares an audio recording, documenting a sales training session focused on improving communication and negotiation skills, particularly in the context of high-ticket services like pond conversions. The participants engage in role-playing scenarios where they apply techniques such as asking "no-oriented questions" and using mirroring and labeling to extract crucial information, such as the prospect's underlying motive for the project. A significant portion of the discussion centers on the importance of active listening, the proper timing and phrasing of questions—especially regarding pricing and consultation fees—and the need to avoid common sales pitfalls like rushing the conversation or making assumptions. Participants also offer hindsight and feedback to one another, reflecting on their performance and suggesting better ways to handle challenging client interactions.
Key Takeaways:
- Practice consistent training to develop communication skills, such as mirroring and proper labeling, which increases confidence.
- In conversations, utilize no-oriented questions like "Would you be opposed to this?" to give control to the listener and lower their guard.
- When discussing a price range, always present the high number first followed by the lower number.
- Cultivate patience by slowing your conversational pace and allowing silence after asking a question or stating a difficult point.
- Avoid engaging in tasks that require high focus, like selling or intensive training, while you are driving.
