Sales Scripting: Your Ultimate Guide to Close More Deals

In this course, you will discover effective methods for consistently improving your sales outcomes through the art of sales scripting. Sales scripting is a crucial aspect of sales success, enabling you to prepare and deliver your presentations effectively.

My introduction to sales scripting came from my mentor, Dr. Donald Moine, during a time when I was struggling as a low-performing employee on the verge of dismissal. At that point, I lacked the necessary guidance for my sales presentations. However, upon mastering the art of sales scripting, I not only met my targets but also secured my position. This experience taught me that salesmanship is an acquirable skill.

Embracing Sales

Throughout my 20 years working in sales, I've observed that many individuals harbor a reluctance towards selling. This aversion often stems from a negative perception of sales. It's essential to shift your mindset regarding sales. Employing auto suggestion, a technique involving repetitive self-affirmation, can aid in embracing sales. One such affirmation is "Selling equals service."

Embracing Sales Scripting

When the concept of a script comes to mind, it tends to evoke negative connotations such as being rehearsed or mechanical, or feeling unsuitable. However, a script simply consists of sequenced words with meaning. If your communication is coherent, you are essentially following a script. Assessing the effectiveness of your scripts is crucial, as delivering a repetitive presentation is likely. Therefore, taking a step back and preparing in advance to deliver a well-crafted and compelling presentation is advisable.

The 7-Step Writing Formula

I've developed a formula outlining the process of crafting an effective script, which comprises 7 key steps:

1. Select a script to write
2. Utilize 5 laundry lists
3. Identify your sales model
4. Create the outline
5. Write the script section by section
6. Apply persuasion engineering
7. Revise, improve, and update

The 5 Laundry Lists

When composing scripts, it's imperative to compile a list of key elements to be addressed. The 5 laundry lists encompass:

1. Stories
2. Probing Questions
3. Offer and Close
4. Handling Objections
5. Identifying Benefits

Stories

Maintain a repository of success stories to incorporate into your scripts. In the absence of many stories, sharing your personal narrative can be equally impactful.

Probing Questions

Compile a set of probing questions aimed at identifying customer needs. Many salespeople overlook this step, but it's essential to consider pertinent questions that can uncover your customers' requirements.

Offer and Close

When crafting your offer and close, consider essential factors such as price, inclusions, payment options, bonuses, and other pertinent details. Use this information to structure your closing statement.

Handling Objections

Anticipate common objections and prepare responses to address them effectively.

Identifying Benefits

Compile a list of both tangible and intangible benefits to emphasize during your sales pitch.
