What Would Happen If Someone Else Presented Your Sales Message?
Here’s a Good Five-minute Exercise to Carry Out
Present your sales message to a colleague. Then ask them to present it back to you. You’d think this would be a fairly simple thing to do. But you may be surprised at the results. Often, what comes back to you may not be what you expected to hear.
There are several reasons for this. Firstly, you may not have said what you meant to. Secondly, your colleague may not have understood what you said, or may have found it hard to remember.
Even if your colleague repeats your sales message correctly, is it as compelling as you hoped it would be?
You don’t often get to hear your own sales message
This exercise can be a valuable way of working out if your prospects are hearing what you want them to hear.
Is your sales message as effective as you would like?
