The most straightforward sale is when someone already desires your product. Quite the revelation, right?
If we tap into a market where there’s a natural inclination towards our product’s solution, presenting our product to that audience should yield positive results.
Yet, why do we often perceive sales as a task of persuasion rather than simply presenting? We’ve all heard the phrase, “Selling ice in the Arctic.” While it applauds persuasive prowess, it’s also suggesting manipulation—getting people to purchase what they might not need.
Consider this, dear direct seller: Are we urging our sales teams to persuade rather than present? And when the selling becomes tough because people don’t see the need, how many salespeople decide to throw in the towel?
*Understanding Your Primary Attractive Proposal*
If I inquired about your company’s “primary attractive proposal,” how would you respond? Instantly or after deep reflection? Would your answer be concise, or would it be a winding journey of concepts?
For clarity, let’s decipher what a primary attractive proposal means, as I interpret it:
* /Primary/: The central offer that generally takes the lead. It’s what most representatives initially present. It represents your brand’s essence but isn’t exhaustive. * /Attractive/: It’s a product or service a specific demographic desires. It addresses a particular problem or aspiration, making it nearly irresistible. * /Proposal/: It’s a solution proposed to those with a certain need, desire, or dream, usually in return for a financial transaction.
So, have you identified the primary attractive proposal of your company?
In the fast-paced world of direct selling, with evolving compensation plans, digital shifts, affiliate schemes, customer loyalty programs, and social media campaigns, it’s easy to get lost. All these are crucial, but if your main offer isn’t on point, the rest might be in vain. A stellar compensation plan or a perfectly designed website is pointless if the main product doesn’t appeal. Your narratives, posts, and rewards program are ineffective without a solid customer base.
In my observations, every triumphant direct selling story is rooted in a potent primary attractive proposal (PAP). However, many companies tend to overlook or underestimate their PAP. It’s crucial to revisit and adapt it, acknowledging the business’s continuous evolution.
*The Ultimate Sales Instrument for Your Representative*
A compelling primary offer is crucial for gaining customers.
But it’s also a cornerstone for a representative’s success.
I firmly believe that the most potent tool you can equip a representative with is a solid primary attractive proposal. Selling becomes effortless when the product is something the market already desires. Equipped with such a product, representatives not only achieve success but also grow more confident and proactive in sharing.
I urge you to reassess and refine your primary offer. While some might be confident in their current PAP, many could benefit from a thoughtful reconsideration of it, especially looking forward to the future.
To guide your reflection, ponder these:
* /Purpose/: Reflect on your mission. It’s about identifying the world’s shortcomings and your strategy to address them. Your vision is the ideal world once your mission is accomplished. How do these relate to your offer? * /Solution/: With a mission in place, ensure your brand aligns with it. Simplify your messaging. * /Offer Details/: Is it a flagship product or a combination? Perhaps a membership or an initial bundle? Dive deep into this and align it with your mission. * /Simplify/: Streamline your offer. Eliminate complexities. * /Value over Price/: Emphasize the inherent value of the offer rather than its price. * /Pricing Strategy/: Ensure your product’s pricing is appealing enough for first-time users. * /Think Distributor-centric/: Reevaluate your offer from a distributor’s perspective. * /Company Alignment/: Be audacious. Realign your entire company’s strategy around your PAP.
So, have you pinpointed your company’s primary attractive proposal?
