12. ITS ALL ABOUT YOU The Rapport you build The Trust that you create The Belief you have And The enthusiasm and sincerity you portray

13. 7 Steps to Success Prospecting Establishing rapport Identifying needs accurately Presenting Answering objections Closing the sale Getting referrals

14. Prospecting Tips How many Beep outlets do you need per postcode capita? Start looking online for local businesses in the area, especially restaurants Booking appointments ahead can save time later. Hook up with businesses on facebook / twitter Look at their website? Do they have a contact button? Send them an email and then tell them when you will call to book an appointment. Research Restaurants on trip advisor and make notes about their position, passing traffic, strengths and any weaknesses In an area you are less familiar with, use Google street view to do your research prior to landing on foot. Preparation is the biggest difference between being amateur or being Professional

15. Making contact by phone 1. Make a list of businesses you want to talk to and if possible establish decision maker beforehand 2. Ask to speak to the decision maker -make the call friendly and chatty but be genuine .build rapport. 3. Say who you are and where you are from and why you are calling during your chat. 4. Explain that you would like to call and appreciate they are busy and so ask if you could send them a quick email with some links on. 5. Aim to book a visit in the next couple of days. 6. If they insist on seeing the email first, arrange a follow up phone call. 7. Remember when you are booking your appointment you want all the decision makers to be available too.

16. Prospecting on foot Do your due diligence, look for their strengths and potential weaknesses, demographics of the area. Do they have a good frontage, space to display Beep advertising stickers? Choose the best store in its category to visit first, if there are others in same vicinity. Always have at the back of your mind that we are selecting the best stores for Beep, you need to establish at your first meeting if there is a synergy with Beep for them and us.

17. Cold calling 1. Try not to look like a sales rep walking through the door! Ideally be a customer firstthat throws them out completely! 2. Start to chat to them about their business and ask if the manager is there today. 3. Hold and show them a Beep card in your hand as you introduce yourself. 4. Try and make your introduction to Beep relevant to their business and how it might benefit them. 5. Do they have time to talk? If no, when can you call back? Leave your business card and you could , if appropriate, ask them for an email address to send them the video link 6. Only if they ask for something to read, should you use the leave behind folder. On exiting reference your next appointment 7. Confirm your follow up appointment on the email you are sending them

18. The Appointment Start the call with an initial sales benefit statement i.e.Explain an overview of the system and how they could benefit. E.g. Im xxx from Beep were a Loyalty Company driving business back into the High Street and where retailers can actually earn money from handing out FREE Beep cards to their customers. Now Its Free but the only catch is that we have an area quota so cant give it to everyone . My name is XXX and I am

19. Fact Finding When you rearrange the letters LISTEN You get: SILENT.

20. Listening Tips Remember Telling is NOT selling Ask probing questions Let your prospect speak Listen to what they say AND what they dont say! Watch the body language Use your mute button Once you hit mute, leave it on for a couple of seconds even if you think they are done talking. You will be amazed by how much more information your prospect will provide you if you just shut up and listen.

21. Establish their Needs Ask permission to ask a few questions If appropriate you could use the survey form here Ask open questions and make it chatty Understand their challenges and respond to what they are saying its a consultation Be interested and ask more questions to find as much as you can about how their business is operating Dont interrupt with solutions at this stage It is important to appreciate that people will look at Beep through their emotions - Find their pain and use your business to really get to a solution. Now take a couple of minutes to think about the sort of questions you could ask to find out about their business

22. Some ideas of questions to use How is business compared to last year? How long have they been in business and what are their staffing levels? Do they advertise? If so where? What costs? Do they have a current loyalty program? If so, ask them to explain how it works How do their current discounts work? What till system do they currently use? Ask them about passing trade What are their future plans?

23. 15 minute comfort break

24. Summarise their position and Propose Re-affirm their current situation as they see it, i.e sum up how things are for them right now Highlight how Beep could offer them a solution e.g So if I could show you a way that you could drive traffic to your website Would it benefit your business to increase your trade whilst reducing advertising costs?

25. Summarise their position and Propose In your very competitive market, would it benefit you to be able to earn money from your competitors? If I could show you a way of increasing your bottom line from giving away loyalty cards to your customers with only a minimum investment from you, would you be interested. If I could show you a way of reducing your current discount commitments whilst increasing your income, would that be something you see helping you?

26. Presentations We've all seen it--people listening to a sales presentation, eyes glazed over and their minds anywhere but on what the speaker is saying. SELL THE BENEFITS and NOT the features You have demonstrated that you can offer a benefit for their needs Show the videos, let them do the selling and avoid doing the telling!

27. The Close The difference between try and triumph is just a little umph! Until.

28. Objections Every sale has five basic obstacles: no need, no money, no hurry, no desire and no trust.

29. The dos 1. Always maintain a positive attitude and be enthusiastic. 2. Always remember that objections are a natural and integral part of the sales process and should not be considered as a personal insult. 3. Always maintain good eye contact, even when under pressure. 4. Always listen attentively to an objection. 5. Always acknowledge the objection and then express your thoughts. 6. Always justify your viewpoints with testimonials, documentation and references.

30. The do nots 1. Never knock down or degrade your competition. That takes the focus off of you and your company and you never want to do that. 2. Never say anything negative about your organisation. 3. Never say anything negative about your product or service. 4. Never tell the customer that they are wrong. 5. Never tell the customer that you dont understand.

31. And a few more! 6. Never argue with any buyer. 7. Never lie to a customer. Long term relationships are built on trust and honesty. It is far better to say, I dont know, but I will find out the right answer and get back to you as soon as possible. 8. Never be defensive; it is a negative approach to an objection. 9. Never lose your temperament with the customer. 10. Never let an objection go without an answer.

32. Overcoming Beep Objections Objection There are already lots of loyalty systems about Local loyalty one doesnt work I dont understand it / not convinced How do you know I will get more customers How many are already signed up in my area Solution Explain how they are working throw it back How does it work explain benefits of Beep.outside business? Re inforce the benefits of website and customers having cards Unique concept, global scale Re-sell the benefits-watch video again Refer to Beep stores website for bigger picture and we are talking to lots of retailers locally

33. Overcoming Beep Objections objection I already have a loyalty system Ill wait to see how it goes I cant justify the outlay Too good to be true How is it paid for if its free Its new how will my customers know about it. Its too difficult to learn Solution Establish how it works and benefits of Beep system Early adopters earn from customers- explain benefits Explain why you feel that? It is live and happening. Explain 2.75% etc.. Early retailers handing out cards customers will be looking for businesses Go through the simplicity of the business and show the videos again

34. Closing Tips Watch for closing signals and remember, the right time to close is when your prospect is ready to buynot before! Alternate Close Assumptive Close Trial Close Negative Close Ben Franklin Close

35. Some people Say No Every No brings you closer to a Yes Dont take rejection personally Learn to Manage your disappointment dont dwell It could be Not now rather than Never. Dont lose your resolve Remember no one can make you feel inferior without your consent Eleanor Roosevelt

36. Practice session Group scenarios

37. Following up with retailer Go through as much of the sign up process as poss A quick email to thank them the same day (draft email available) Log their details in an Excel spreadsheet One week Later a phone call to check on any agreed actions re integration and general progress. 4 weeks later another phone call to check on progress Go live Offer your support

38. In Summary Research as much about the business and their surroundings as you can in preparation Present a prospecting offer of no more than 45 words that clearly states who you are, what you are selling Ensure you talk only to the decision makers! (All of them) Always be in a "Disqualification" mode. Accept the fact that prospecting really is a numbers game. Congratulations on your first sign up!getting past the gatekeeper!

40. Never Give up!

41. And Finally 1979 Harvard MBA program. In that year, the students were asked, "Have you set clear, written goals for your future and made plans to accomplish them?" Only three percent of the graduates had written goals and plans; 13 percent had goals, but they were not in writing; and a whopping 84 percent had no specific goals at all. Ten years later, the members of the class were interviewed again, and the findings, while somewhat predictable, were nonetheless astonishing. The 13 percent of the class who had goals were earning, on average, twice as much as the 84 percent who had no goals at all. And what about the three percent who had clear, written goals? They were earning, on average, ten times as much as the other 97 percent put together. In spite of such proof of success, most people don't have clear, measurable, time-bounded goals that they work toward.
