    Selling TV's [$500 to $5000] question Sales and Selling

    Selling TV's [$500 to $5000] question Sales and Selling


    Selling TV's [$500 to $5000] question

    Posted: 03 Jun 2018 07:01 AM PDT

    In my sales role i sell tv's (only been in the role a month) ranging from $500 to $5000.

    We have about 100 TV's in the store, and when a customer comes in and we chat i ask them what brand do they have and are they happy with that brand which eliminates 60% of the TV's on the floor and during this process i try and remember i am selling benefits and not features.

     

    TV's now are all Smart TV's (stream content netflix/hulu/youtube) and most are upscaled 4k (3840 X 2160) and true 4k (4096 x 2160) which are your higher end tv's. Each manafactuer having there own features that are similar in instances to other manafacturers.

    My issue is when a customer wants a 65" TV (lets say Samsung) they have various models (2015 - 2018) that have upgraded features, that can be hard to sell. A customer does not see a True 4K vs Upscaled 4K they see a $1000 difference.

     

    Trying to simplify questions for the customers

    • Do you watch Bluray or DVD's
    • Do you have an audio system or just using the TV speakers
    • Do you watch sport (for refresh rate)
    • Do you watch Netflix/Hulu etc
    • Do you watch standard cable tv on it

       

    Things i do and questions for you guys

    • Never introduce another brand into the chat unless i have too
    • Start high cost work down
    • When the customer is after a 65" TV made by Samsung, $1000 price difference with the main differences being a newer model, and True 4K with better dimming, they only see the $1000 difference, especially if they don't watch 4K, so how can i word it so they may be interestd, future proof, amazing quality of the TV etc to justify the extra $1000.
    • If you were me what questions would you ask that would make the customer go, you know what that is a really great benefit?

    Success as a Channel Account Manager

    Posted: 03 Jun 2018 10:16 AM PDT

    Hey everyone,

    This week I will be starting a new role as a Channel Account Manager (CAM) at a midsize software company.

    In this role, I'll be responsible for driving SMB sales through our 5 largest partners. Each of which is a well established corporate reseller.

    I'll also act as a liaison between a team of 4 inside sales reps at my company, and the SMB focused reps at each of our resellers.

    I'm hoping to gain some insight from any other CAMs or Partner Managers on this subreddit. What are some things that worked for you guys that you'd advise a newbie try to replicate.

    For any AE's or ISR's that sell through the partners, what do you look for in terms of support and assistance from your channel counterparts?

    Finally, Reseller reps, what's the best way to win your hearts? We've got a great product and offer killer margin, obviously it's important to be easy to work with, but how else can I best line up with you guys so we can all make some more money together? Any advice or stories about good partner reps or the best ways for vendors to win you over would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks so much, this sub is always a goldmine!

    I want to break into merchandise sales, anyone have any advice?

    Posted: 03 Jun 2018 09:48 AM PDT

    So, I'm working with a 3D printing and design company. My goal is to either make merchandise for them to sell, or sell them (or a company of their choice) the equipment to do it. Has anyone done this sort of sales before? I'm a little unsure of how to introduce value and get them to really consider it. Also, how fast or slow do you normally make the process?

    Car salesman with potential opportunity for B2B sales job...

    Posted: 03 Jun 2018 12:22 AM PDT

    Hello /r/sales. I've been in the car business for about 3.5 years and was recently reached out to by a recruiter who saw my resumé online about an inside sales job. I'm pretty skeptical of most jobs I get calls from recruiters for, but I did my research on the company and got all my questions answered in the interview and it seems legit and seems like it could be a good opportunity. I'm still a little intimidated by B2B sales, since I've never done it, so I'm just looking to hear from anyone who's made the jump from B2C to B2B and what to expect, any advice you have, and whether or not you'd recommend it. Thanks in advance!

    Moving to another state. Should I update my LinkedIn and resume to read current address in the new state? So I get recruiter offers from that location?

    Posted: 02 Jun 2018 04:37 PM PDT

    I'm currently looking to move and want to land an entry level software sales job. Whenever I apply on indeed it always asks me if I'm sure I want to apply because it's in a different state. Then I wondered how many people throw my application away or how many recruiters aren't paying attention to me.

    Is it better to say your address is at the place you want to move even if you don't live there yet? Isn't that technically lying on your application?

    STAR interview questions and answers

    I have no experiene and no education. What's the fastest way to break into sales? Route sales? B2B customer service?

    Posted: 02 Jun 2018 02:08 PM PDT

    I come from hourly warehouse/forklift operations.

    95% of employers want experience or a degree. They don't care what books you've read or who you've interviewed with. Many also want a technical background in their industry.

    1. What's the best way to get on an employer's radar? Going through their interview process? Going to higher-ups unsolicited and asking for help? The few inside people I know have had little to offer.

    2. If the job listing is vague about requirements, and they ask questions like "How would you handle this sales situation", how do I answer without sounding like bullshit I read in a book or on r/sales?

    3. Is inside sales out of the question? I've already failed interviews for one sales and several CS positions, and I can't afford to keep driving across the suburbs for long shots when they require in-person first interviews.

    4. Is interviewing more about interviewing technique, or what you can demonstrate (which is little more than what's on paper)? I've asked recruiters this and heard opinions going both ways.

    5. If the goal is to become a well-rounded salesperson and do it all, what's the best place to start?

    6. Why do employers claim to offer excellent 6-week training, but their requirements make it seem like the only people that get trained are already beyond qualified?

    Side gig: estate sales

    Posted: 02 Jun 2018 11:02 PM PDT

    Hey folks, I am thinking about picking up a Saturday side gig for the summer. I attended an estate sale today, talked with the owner of the franchise after I bought my items, and found out he's short staffed. I told him my background, we seem like a good fit. He needs bondable managers to spend weekends selling homeowners on his services then manage sales.

    There's 50% commission to the franchise, I'm thinking about asking for half of that but providing my own equipment and signs, just using his mailing list and brand.

    I want an extra 50 grand this year and I'm already earning my max at the main job ($180,000 - it's capped because it's owned by government so I have some municipal bullshit to deal with, my salary and bonuses are sunshine listed and the politicians don't want to stomach an uncapped commission). I figure I can probably do 2500 per week through these sales and keep about 1500 for myself after paying 1000 to a crew of 3 labourers (9 hour day). At my tax bracket I'll get to keep 900 of that.

    I can also set up a pyramid in other towns, splitting the people below me with the guy above me - if I can get two crews working on houses, I could pull another 300 from each of them every weekend. That means I donate 38-44 Saturday's this year and poppa gets a new truck. If it works out I could get some relatively passive income for managing a bunch of other sales reps for this guy until he gets his feet under him and can do it himself too.

    Any of you guys sell by moonlight too? Am I nuts for even considering this?

    Is This Legal?

    Posted: 02 Jun 2018 03:08 PM PDT

    Can a hypothetical online store list cars that it does not own for sale on its online property without the permission of the dealership?

    Note that these cars are not listed for a profit but at the very same price that the dealership is selling them for. Further all of the dealers contact information and location details are included in the listing. The purpose being to advertise these cars and find customers for the dealer for free. And then convincing the dealer to list more of its cars on the online property for a fee to utilize its proven effectiveness in advertising.

    Street Selling - Need Help!

    Posted: 02 Jun 2018 07:15 PM PDT

    Not sure if this is the best place to come to, so please refer me to elsewhere if this isn't the appropriate sub.

    I'm currently working abroad for the summer (Ibiza), and I've got myself a job selling tickets for an event (an all day party and evening). It's commission only, so the sales matter.

    I'm seriously struggling with stopping people on the street. I can't seem to hold anyone's attention, and whenever I do they can tell that I'm trying to sell them something, so they get away asap (there are a lot of people on the island doing similar). I don't have an issue with pitching the event itself, but I can't for whatever reason get anyone to stop and talk to me. I don't even open with the event, rarely even get to mention it!

    In every other area I'm confident - I've been in a sales role before, I'm experienced with leading large groups of people, but for some reason now I can't even stop two people on the street.

    Has anyone here done anything similar? If so, have you got any advice for how I can get myself out of this rut, get my confidence back and start smashing out sales?

    Tl;dr - Selling on streets, can't get a single person to stop for me or sell a single ticket. Need help!

    Symmetry Financial Group (life insurance) -- worth it for recent grad to work for 100%-based commission/1099?

    Posted: 02 Jun 2018 07:04 PM PDT

    I watched all their videos and spoke to them on the phone and they sure know how to sell themselves. I wonder if I am being duped and if really, if I took on the job, it would completely suck me dry and ruin me. I am also wondering if I will make more money this way.

    How can a 23 year old male break into Software Sales with only IT help desk experience and no degree?

    Posted: 02 Jun 2018 06:56 PM PDT

    I've read about the money and the potential to not have to have a college degree, and I'm interested. I love jobs that move around a lot, feel engaging, not routine, and feel connected to the real world. Sales seems that way to me.

    I'm a good looking guy who's 6 foot 4 and works out 5 times a week

    I ran an amazon buy/ sell bsuiness successfully for years.

    I love wearing a suit. I feel like Jason Statham

    I've always been better at getting jobs than keeping them.

    How does a newbie break in? Is it as easy as an application / solid job interview?

    Thank you all.

    -Ryan

    Would you appeal to Safety or Fear when Selling..

    Posted: 02 Jun 2018 12:04 PM PDT

    Hi there!

    Starting my first ever sales job.

    Job is simple Cold-Calling, with the added benefit of selling solutions to high quantities of Radioactive gas - called radon, for houses and apartments. Basically, you call your potential customer, explain the problems of having high quantities of radon - as it is cancer inducing, and then try to sell the product to them.

    I'm honestly a bit unsure how to approach the situation. Sales pitch is bad. I tell you that as a complete newbie, but if I was a customer, I would have definitely not bothered to listen to that bullshit. It's just too informative. It's like they expect everyone to be knowledge, which is something I honestly doubt.

    So here's my plan;

    1) Hi, can you hear me? - to force out that ever important first "yes"

    2) Great! First and foremost I hope you're doing well! My name is "UnleashYourLife". I represent "company name", a company that deal with a dangerous gas called Radon.

    This is where I'm a bit unsure. I don't feel like I should throw out "cancer-inducing" word too soon, but at the same time I do know that cancer = fear, and fear is what usually catches their attention quite quickly.

    3) I'll quickly explain story of Radon, why government of my country is fighting that, why cancer institutions are trying to do the same etc

    4) This where I'm also quite unsure. I want to use this moment to either appeal to fear or safety.

    Fear is gonna be, full focus on "this shit leads to cancer, it's important to avoid that", maybe talk a bit about my own life where I had family members experience that (I feel that sharing my life might hook them).

    Safety on the other head will rather appeal to rationality by saying "you're not only protecting yourself, but also your girlfriend, or wife, or children etc.

    What do you guys think? Does this seem like a solid plan, or should I think of something else?

    P.S Read How to Win Friends and...., Spin Selling and about to start reading "Release your Brakes". Also watched Jordan Belfort videos about Tonality. What book would you recommend a newbie?

    Improving without any feedback?

    Posted: 02 Jun 2018 12:57 PM PDT

    Does anyone have advice on improving my performance without receiving any feedback from my sales manager?

    I'm in my first role as an SDR and I'm set on being the top performer. Im an avid follower of this subreddit/ I'm in slack communities/I read sales books but I'm having trouble implementing and improving without formal feedback or plan.

    Does anyone possibly have systematic ways to improve/track improvement everyday? If it helps we use salesloft and salesforce in our sales stack so I have recordings of my calls and some level of analytics.
