Welcome back to Business English Pod for today’s lesson on dealing with a customer’s doubts about a proposed solution during the販売プロセス.
Customers rarely agree to buy after an initial pitch. Sales typically involves a lot more work than just the initial approach. You need to get to know the customer, understand their needs and offer them good solutions. And somewhere along the way, you’ll have to deal with their questions and doubts. 結局, people want to be sure they’re making the right choice, and that they’re spending their money wisely. And even when you’ve shown them all the right reasons to buy from you, they might still be on the fence. So what can you do?
良い, there are a few useful techniques that can help you deal with a customer’s doubts. We can ask about reasons, and propose solutions. We can also relieve their fears and anticipate their concerns. そして最後に, we can show them why the other alternatives are not good choices. 今日のレッスンで, we’ll learn how to use these techniques.
