## Understanding – The Solid Foundation for Every Transaction
It’s not by chance that people say “the customer is king.” To win over your “king,” you first need to understand them.
### Listen to Truly Understand Needs
Like the story of “The Fisherman and the Goldfish,” if the old man hadn’t understood his “wife’s” desires, he wouldn’t have had to go to the sea so many times. Sales are similar; listening is the golden key.
Put yourself in the customer’s shoes, understand their desires and problems, and then you can offer suitable solutions.
### Product Knowledge – Your Inseparable Weapon
There’s a saying, “Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.” In sales, “knowing yourself” means thoroughly understanding your product.
What are the product’s highlights? What advantages does it have over competitors? How does it solve customer problems? … Mastering product knowledge helps you confidently persuade customers.
## The Art of Persuasion – “Cultivating” Inner Strength – Words
“Kind words cost nothing,” they say, but words have invisible power, capable of moving hearts. In sales, persuasion is the “inner strength” you need to “cultivate.”
### Body Language – The “Dance” of Trust
Did you know that body language accounts for over 50% of communication effectiveness? A friendly smile, sincere eye contact, and confident gestures will help you build trust with customers.
### Building Stories – The “Soul” of the Product
Instead of empty advertising slogans, tell customers stories about the product, about the values it brings.
For example, if you’re selling a camera, tell stories about the memorable moments it can capture, about the joy it brings to families.
## Building Relationships – “Sowing Seeds” for the Future
As the saying goes, “Business thrives on good relationships,” and in business, building and maintaining good relationships with customers is crucial.
### After-Sales Care – The “Key” to Customer Retention
Don’t “forget customers after the sale”; continue to care for them wholeheartedly. Answering all questions and providing timely support will help you “score points” and retain customers for the long term.
### Spreading Value – The “Secret” to Differentiation
In today’s information-saturated age, customers have countless choices. So how do you assert your position?
Spread positive values to the community, contributing to building a better society. That’s the “secret” to differentiating yourself and attracting customers.
