The 4 Rules To Sell Anything

Completing a purchase is the final step of a successful marketing strategy. People will do anything and claim anything to sell their products, yet, customers are not that easily convinced. As marketers gain experience as time goes by, so do the buyers. Every potential client has an idea of what is going on in the market and what the salesperson will claim to convince them to buy a product. Regardless of whether we talk about physical products or services, the path to success is the same. If you intend to sell online, perhaps you will have to put some extra weight into approaching the client, but still, specific rules govern human psychology. Scientists believe that there are four steps a salesperson has to go through in order to see the customer putting their money into the product.

1. The problem and the solution
   To start with, no one will buy anything if there is no motivation for it. To create motivation, one has to convince the customer that they have a certain problem and that the product will solve this problem for them. Some clients already feel that they require a solution to that problem, while others may not even feel that they have any difficulty in the first place. Initially, the idea is to convince the person that they need a particular good or service to have some benefits. The desired results will only come after using the product; this is rule number one and perhaps the most important one in this strategy. Business owners want profits, and clients want results. As marketers like to say, people do not buy products; they buy solutions, and this is what marketers have to offer.

2. Trust is essential to convince
   The second part concerns how comfortable the clients will feel about the particular purchase. Most people prioritize the source from which they will buy the product. They want to be 100% sure that they buy from a legal source and that all tests for safety, etc., have been conducted. Once they know the specific type of product will solve their problem, they need to know that the particular brand and source, in general, is ok to trust. The seller will have to inform them about the details of the product and the purchase they are about to make. It is vital that the company will clarify what the product does and it does not do. Being honest about the product and allowing customers to have rational expectations will benefit you and help you gain their trust.

3. Liking the seller
   Just like in personal relationships, nothing good can come if we do not like the person we are about to get in touch with. The person who sells the product plays a crucial role in the customer’s psychology. This is why companies often talk about where their profits go or how they treat their employees or nature, and so on. In other cases, some brands prefer to pay a celebrity to advertise their product. Depending on the profile this person has built, customers are likely to get the necessary sense of familiarity. It is as if they buy the person or, to be more precise, a friend, someone who has the positive aspects they need to embrace in their lives. In the case of face-to-face sales, it is the salesperson that has to play this role, and this is why it is so vital for people in these jobs to be polite and open.

4. Proving your words
   Finally, the customer will also use their brain when they are about to buy something. Psychology is essential, but not all purchases will be completed unless there is solid proof that the product is excellent. Practically, if you take care of this final step, you have won the client, and perhaps you now have a committed customer who will trust you forever. One can encourage the customers to try the product or give a free sample. Others will give x–days guarantee and promise to give a full refund if the customer is not happy. In our modern digital world, reviews play the role of the proof that people need before they buy something. Proof comes in many forms and as long as you are willing to offer that, you can be confident about the future of your business and product.
