Signing Up Clients

by Jenifer Madson
 

Step One: Relax – It’s Only Money

  • Put yourself in a _relaxed_ state

  • Get _you_ out of the way

  • Find _common_ ground – job, where they’re from, hobbies, weather
     

Step Two: Ask Great Questions

  • Sell, Don’t Tell - Sell in the form of _questions_

  • _Open_-ended, not ‘yes’ or ‘no’

  • Be very _curious_ – don’t assume you know the answers

 

Step Three: Deliver The Shoe That Fits!

  • Pick 3 benefits/features/solutions that _fit_ the need, not 3 you think they need

  • _Check in_– ‘Isn’t that great?’ ‘Won’t that be fun?’ ‘Do you see how this works?’

  • Don’t be afraid to discuss _hesitations_
     

Step Four: It’s All In The Details

  • Explain programs – _features/benefits_

  • Be _assumptive_ – ‘Which one of those fits best for you?’

  • _Lead_ them to final paperwork. ‘What we need now is…’
     

Step Five: Raise Their Consciousness

  • _Congratulate/Thank_ them sincerely for taking the step

  • _ Acknowledge _ what might get in the way – them, others

  • _Remind_ them who is there for them, in their corner
