Acme Shower Door

Many people ask me why the script they use for selling door to door does not work well. One reason is that they often ask the big question too early. When I say "the big question," I mean ask the purpose of your visit. It could be coming home, it could be an order, it could be to have an appointment later.

Recently, I was working with a company that offers a water heater free if you use their service natural gas. Their door to door team said. "I'm here to sign up people for a free water heater. Would you like a free water heater. Even if it is free, almost no one accepted the offer. It is too abrupt. They went to the question of "big" too early.

Here are some suggestions to make your opening more successful:

"Hello, I'm with Carl utilities Acme. We are in the area offering a new water heater without the people who water heater is over 5 years. Are you hot water for five years or more? " (They only operated in areas where it is very likely that the water heater was old). It is a question almost everyone said "yes".

"Good. Given that your furnace is that old, we offer a free heater level you will save about $ 10.00 per month on your electric bill. Is a sav9ings $ 10.00 per month a good things for you? "Again, it is a question almost everyone will answer yes.

Great. In addition, these new furnaces produce about 30% more hot water than the old model you have now ineffective. Would you like if you never ran out of hot water in the middle of a shower again? "It is a question most people will agree with.

Once you have answered "yes" to a few simple questions, you must assume your goal. Do not end up asking: "Do you want a free water heater, suffice it to say. "Great, I'll get the paperwork started."

If you really want the success of selling door to door, never tell you what comes to mind. Write your script and work on it to cut the words that do not lead to a sale, to increase the benefits you show the customer and make your aperture more powerful.

If you lay the foundation for building interest and getting answers to smaller, more easy questions, door to door, sales scripts work much better.
