Sales Presentation Methods
Four methods we’ll be focusing on:
Memorized
Salesperson does not attempt to determine prospect’s needs
Assumes that prospect needs can be stimulated by direct
exposure to the product
Formula
Based on the assumption that similar prospects in similar
situations can be approached with similar presentations
Need-Satisfaction
Customer focused presentation, can be thought of in three distinct
phases: need development, need awareness, and need fulfillment
Problem-Solution
Salesperson develops a detailed analysis of a prospect’s needs
over a number of sales calls, then presents a detailed solution.
