Last time I shared four practical tips for how to develop a compelling offer – Make sure it’s a desirable topic, craft a juicy title, add on a tempting bonus and get clear on the value before you settle on the price.

Today I want to begin talking about how to present that offer in the most appealing way.

People prefer to accept help (and hiring you is one form of accepting help) from those they know, like and trust. So whether you’re reaching out to a potential client through an online promotion or through a one-on-one conversation, establishing rapport is the first and most crucial step in the process.

Instead, many heart-based business owners mistakenly focus on what they think of as “selling” when it comes time to present an offer. And that actually goes against their spiritual beliefs and values.

I totally get it. I used to get caught in the same trap, thinking that marketing and selling my expertise was something entirely separate from delivering it. The problem with that separation is it automatically takes you out of your place of strength (that centered and connected place you come from when you’re in the flow of working with a client).

Trying to create rapport with a potential client when you’re not feeling connected to your purpose means your head may be engaged, but your heart is not. You’ll likely find yourself:

*) Avoiding talking to people about your products and programs for fear you’ll be rejected

*) Sitting in front of the computer staring at that promo email you’ve written, knowing it’s not what you want to say but not sure how to fix it

*) Putting out a desperate “Oh God, please buy!” sort of energy that sends people scrambling in the other direction

Well, we certainly don’t want that!

If this happens for you, the good news is I’ve got a simple strategy for centering yourself in your power as you engage in any kind of “selling” interaction.

When you sit down to write a promo email, or pick up the phone to talk with a prospective client, or meet someone at a networking event, say these words to yourself:

* I’m so glad I’m here. (this creates excitement)
* I’m so glad you’re here. (this creates gratitude and anticipation)
* I know what I know.” (this creates confidence)

From there, you won’t have to feel like you’re selling, you’re just connecting – both to your purpose and to other person.

When They Feel the Love, They Love What You Have to Offer

You have a purpose here on the planet – to share your gifts and your special brand of transformation from a place of love and service. The more fully you step into the power of your True Self in your business, and come from that place as you talk with potential clients about what you have to offer, them more they’ll love you and find your offers irresistible.

So it’s both the simplest, and most vulnerable, thing to do. Be you. Yes, even when you’re “selling.”

Agents, whose work is direct marketing on behalf of their organization, act as its representative and hence must be professional, presentable and confident. They should be well equipped with the necessary knowledge so as to have control of the interaction with their prospective customers. This is because doubts and assumptions present a bad image of the organization.

Asking the customer for information is of little value if the salesperson does not listen. In order to get the information needed to best serve, identify and respond to needs and hence nurture a collaborative buyer-seller relationship, salespeople must be able to listen and understand what was said and what was meant. Therefore, there is a need to pay attention, monitor body language and speech patterns and ask questions to clarify; to avoid making assumptions.

A good listener actively looks for areas of interest in the customer. This way he will be able to identify any unsatisfied needs or desires in the client. He will then explain clearly to the customer the advantages of the product or service concerned. He must thus be able to listen for ideas as opposed to facts.

Good salesmanship also requires that one should take down few notes and limit the subject to the central theme and key ideas presented. A weak listener takes intensive and detailed notes, which can be time consuming. A strong listener skips irrelevant details, does not judge or evaluate until the message is complete. He should therefore be in total self-control so as to avoid entering into an argument. After all, how can he close the sale after arguing with the buyer?
