Humor our clients.

A simple selling tip to share...

This could happen to any salesperson who is on the run. I am supposed to meet one of my client tomorrow. While thinking of him today, he sent me this text message, "Morning Robert. I will need to postpone our meeting for next 1 to 2 week. We have visitors and year end account closing. We can contact each other in 2 weeks time. Sorry!"

Well! What would you do? Would you be angry, rejected, feel bad or no feeling at all. Should you reply him in the first place? I think we must reply our client. Next! How do you reply him?. From my experience, most sales people would just say, Okay! or Stay in touch please! or I will call you again!

Let me show you how i replied this client. "Young man don't feel bad. The more busy you are, the happier i'm for you. Because, when you become rich, i will be able to sell you a Million Dollar Policy. Deal?"

Do you want to know whether he responded. Yes! I laughed while reading his final message to me. "Thanks Robert. You are always positive, great. One Million Policy in future; why not.. :)"

The next time when i see this client, i might have a chance to mention this million proposal. I had fun while making contact with all my clients by being creative in my selling approaches. Please try and it might work for you.
