Sales Truths: Knowledge is Power

Keys to selling

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER. 
 
 
WHY IT’S TRUE: Product information alone does not give you power. It is what you do with that information that makes your knowledge powerful. Your role is to manage the customer’s perception of value. The more you know about your product and your customer, the more added value you can provide. With today’s technology, customers have extensive access to information. Their challenge is to figure out what information is useful and what is not. The ability to validate that information is your power. 
 
 
PLAN OF ACTION: Gather information about customers and use it to remind them of important dates. Take advantage of every educational opportunity. Knowledge of current events is also a plus. Take action to become a resource to your community. Knowledge equals power; power equals trust, which is critical to closing the sale.
