Each and every day as we are building our businesses, we
all know the key to a successful presentation is a product
being sold to the end-line consumer and/or sponsoring a new
person. In an upcoming issue, I am going to write about
the difference between making a sale and having customer
loyalty in the sales process. In the sales process, you
are fighting many different types of animals. For most of
us who are in direct sales, you have 45 minutes to present
a product/business concept and make a person believe in
you, your product, and more importantly have them make a
decision that they want what you are offering.
When you are presenting the business, it is very easy for
you to get very factual and completely lose the interest of
your prospect. When you tell a story about the success of
someone who is using the product or have a person give a
live testimonial about how much they love being a
distributor, you will keep the interest of new people who
are listening for the first time.
For most of us, the first time in our lives that we were
ever presented with the concept of a live audience was back
in kindergarten when we played "show and tell". Everyone
was always interested in what you were saying because you
were simply telling a story. We have all heard of the
famous K.I.S.S. rule: Keep It Simple Stupid. When
presenting your business or product, the key play is to
tell a story and keep it simple. Everyone can relate to
the grandmother, who can talk about their grandchild as the
most beautiful, precious child in the world. She will make
you feel as if her grandchild would be such a gift to own
as your own. You need to take that same simplicity and
utilize it during your presentation and create the same
result - ownership of your product.
As you tell stories, people will remember those stories
versus all the facts in the world. "FACTS TELL, BUT
STORIES SELL." They should want to get involved in your
business or purchase your product because all of the
success stories that you told. People love to be part of a
winning team. Storytelling keeps people tied into you and
your presentation. I always say when in doubt during a
presentation, tell a story in order to bring people's
attention back to you. When I present, I ALWAYS tell many
stories because when I was first introduced to direct
sales, what perked my ears was a story of a young lady who
had a lifestyle I wanted. The personal story of her
lifestyle is what made me decide to get involved in the
business. In that business, I went on to build an enormous
organization and all I did was tell my story and tell the
company's story over and over!
Combining the key strategy of storytelling along with the
correct mindset, you can achieve your wildest dreams!
