I see it all of the time in the market. People trying to sell their product or service in the market using features rather than benefits.

Every product out there is “the best”, according to the folks that sell it. So what is going to separate you from every other guy or gal out there moving a similar product or service?

Can give you a hint? It is not the features of the product. When I think of features, I think of going to buy a car. Today it’s all about technology, benefits and “You”.  People want the latest and greatest in gadgets and want to do business with people they like, know and trust.

So Your at the car lot and the car salesman is showing you the latest Navigation system, Microsoft Sync and no steering parking.  These are all features of the car. It’s really not those features that sell you on the car. It’s what those features do to make your life easier (benefits) that make you want to buy. Your going to buy a car from a salesman that you feel comfortable with, not some cheese ball trying to suck the dollars out of your bank account.

You see, it’s more about solving peoples problems than it is about features. The person who sells paper and paper clips to a customer doesn’t really have too much lee-way when it comes to features. The benefit in that instance is in the price. Price solves the problem of overhead and bottom line profitability. I hope your getting what I am trying to get across here.

If you can quickly identify what someone or some company’s pain points are, you can sell anything to anyone.  People are looking for solutions to their problems and the only way to sell them is to solve it with benefits of your product. What is it going to do for them? Is there a quick ROI on the investment?

No one really cares that your product or service is better than your competitions. You have to be able to stand out in all the noise. What separates you from the crowd? How are you standing out? Be a benefits driven sales person and selling becomes as easy at making hotcakes.

Stay away from phrases like, “It’s the best”, “I love it”, “It’s going to blow your mind”, “It’s so easy” and my favorite, “Your boss will love you for it”. Ok, those might be a little cheesy buy you get the point. Those are all features, not benefits.

In conclusion, if you really want to become a master in sales, start selling “You” and the benefits of your product or service.

To Your Massive Success In Selling,
