Virtual rapport can be tough but it doesn't mean it's impossible. The best thing you can do is turn off your computer. Turn off your cell phone and turn off any distractions. Just have a conversation with the person on the other line. So many times I hear sales people typing into their computer or trying to take notes on their phone and although it's a noble cause the way it "hears" on the other end of the line is that you're disengaged. Same goes for if you're driving while having a conversation or doing other activities like cooking dinner. Focus on the customer and you'll be in good shape.

Always put your content in context! Yes you are offering a product, but why? For who? To provide a solution to what problem? Why is this problem not being addressed by currently marketed products? Who are you targeting and how is your product going to benefit them? A strong frame of reference promotes relatability, interest, and ultimately engagement.

I hate to break it to you all... Nobody wants to sit through your hour-long PowerPoint. When you're selling virtually, your customer's attention span is drastically reduced, so you have to get to the point quickly. This means engaging your customer and getting them talking about their problems and their goals. Any chit chat about your problems and goals is against the rules.... Keep it on your customer and focus on their problems.

In the realm of virtual selling, engaging demos are pivotal. High-quality visuals and interactive elements not only capture attention but also foster a deeper understanding of the product. Mastery of your presentation tools and anticipating questions are key to maintaining a seamless and impactful demonstration. Enthusiasm transcends screens, making your passion for the product a powerful tool in driving engagement and interest. Lead with purpose and vision, utilizing intelligent solutions to transform virtual interactions into profitable outcomes.

Active listening in virtual sales is not just about hearing words but understanding the underlying needs and emotions of the client. By leveraging video calls, sales professionals can capture subtle visual cues that enhance communication and build deeper connections. This approach fosters trust and demonstrates a genuine commitment to addressing the client's concerns, ultimately leading to more successful and sustainable sales outcomes. Lead with purpose and vision, and harness intelligent solutions to navigate the complexities of virtual selling.

99% of sales people suck at follow up. That's my own personal stat! Lol. But if you really want to win and be a pro, you have to master it. What does that mean? Means that when you say you're going to call somebody back you actually do it. It means that when you send that bid... You actually send it. In other words, You actually do what you say you're going to do. It's not hard. While we're on the subject, Don't be a sales rep thats hard to get a hold of. Doesn't mean you have to be on 24/7, but it does mean chad if a customer writes you an email or send you a text, You need to get back to them them by the next day. If you don't then they're going to be on the phone with somebody that will and you're going to lose the deal.

Closing virtually involves clear communication of value, addressing objections promptly, and using e-signature tools to streamline the final steps. Foster trust and demonstrate reliability and ask for the business effectively in the digital/remote space. Most importantly do what you say and follow-up!

To succeed in the virtual selling landscape, focus on adapting your strategies. Leverage technology to create engaging and personalized online experiences for clients. Use video calls for face-to-face interactions and ensure your presentation materials are visually appealing and easy to understand. Implement CRM tools to track client interactions and tailor follow-ups based on their needs. Prioritize clear communication and active listening to build trust. Regularly update your team on best practices and emerging tools to stay ahead in the virtual market. Adaptability and continuous learning are key to thriving in virtual sales.

I've done a lot of selling virtually and a lot of my teams have sold virtually. People always want to know what the secret is... And the big secret is.... There is no secret. Great sales people connect with their customers and get them to open up about their problems. The reason most people can't sell virtually is because they get lazy in their sales process. You would n't text on your phone while you were having a conversation with a customer in their office, for example, but a lot of virtual sales people will do that when they're on the phone with somebody. You need to treat a phone call with a customer the same way you would as a face-to-face appointment. It also requires the message and delivery to be very simple. Clean up the clutter.
