How to be liked Bonding and Rapport Targeted Results, Inc. /Sandler Sales Institute

Bonding & Rapport Bonding: Having common qualities that enhance a relationship Rapport: To answer back in a way that is like the initial activity Targeted Results, Inc. /Sandler Sales Institute

Bonding and Rapport Rules • People like people who are like them • People like to be with people who are like them • People like to do business with people they like • All things being equal, being liked is critical • All things not being equal, being liked is more important than being right Targeted Results, Inc. /Sandler Sales Institute

The Communication Pie Physiology 55% Tonality 38% Words 7% Targeted Results, Inc. /Sandler Sales Institute

NLP- Neuro-Linguistic-Programming l We learn about patterned PHYSICAL behavior of others before we learn to speak and continue to update that information l These patterns are permanently in our memory and act subconsciously and consciously l The patterns vary very little from culture to culture so they communicate the same things to almost everyone Targeted Results, Inc. /Sandler Sales Institute

Physiology: 55% of Communication Mirror l Match l Body Language l Gestures l Targeted Results, Inc. /Sandler Sales Institute

Tonality: 38% of Communication l Pace l Pitch l Volume l Phrasing Targeted Results, Inc. /Sandler Sales Institute

Actual Words: 7% of Communication “We have the most effective and efficient system because it focuses on your needs and can be customized for you instead of you having to conform to us” Targeted Results, Inc. /Sandler Sales Institute

When You Use All 3 Elements Together l You get a synergistic or combined effect --This means that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. l Your words become hugely more important when combined with the right physiology and right tonality. l Imagine: 1 + 1 = 10! Targeted Results, Inc. /Sandler Sales Institute

A lesson about Unconditional Love l We didn’t get enough l We don’t get enough l We are ravenous for it l If we get it, we cling to it l It is one of the most powerful forces in the world l We get even with people who take it away l We need to learn to give it away by the bucket full! Targeted Results, Inc. /Sandler Sales Institute

Add: “Not” Ok-ness • Protecting the ego state of the other person • Not playing ‘One Upmanship’ • Nurturing the other person Targeted Results, Inc. /Sandler Sales Institute

“Ok-ness” It is good to be liked l l l People like to do business with people they like Often, it is more important to be liked than right Everyone needs more understanding and unconditional love and wants to be lifted up When you put yourself ahead, you put the customer down Don’t do or say anything that makes the client feel belittled This works at work and at home Targeted Results, Inc. /Sandler Sales Institute

Ok-ness Rules l l l l Don’t tell people they are wrong… Just lead them to what is right Don’t use Buzz-Words It is nice to ask permission, it shows respect Don’t act superior because you know something they don’t Don’t tell them you’re the best… Just be the best If you think it, is pleasant and true, say it. This is respect, not weakness NURTURE, NURTURE Targeted Results, Inc. /Sandler Sales Institute

Paraphrasing and Restating One of the best ways to build rapport with a prospect is to demonstrate that you are really listening, paying close attention and care. We do this byl Paraphrasing: repeating what the other person said in a short summary statement l Restating: repeating what the other person said almost verbatim Targeted Results, Inc. /Sandler Sales Institute

Let’s move from How we say it to What we say and When Targeted Results, Inc. /Sandler Sales Institute

The purpose of communication is for the receiver to receive and understand, not just for the sender to send Targeted Results, Inc. /Sandler Sales Institute

Why would anyone ask a simple question like… What are Features, Benefits and Advantages? Targeted Results, Inc. /Sandler Sales Institute

Features, Advantages & Benefits 1. A FEATURE is a fact about your product or service…it is not a reason to buy 2. A BENEFIT is the positive value your Feature delivers & could be a reason to buy 3. An ADVANTAGE is why your product or service is superior to competition or the current prospect practice because of your Features and Benefits…& still only may be a reason to buy Targeted Results, Inc. /Sandler Sales Institute

News- “FEATURE CREATURE falls into own assumptions and drowns in Words” FEATURE CREATURE l l l Assumes the needs Describes every fact with equal importance Assumes the prospect is blown away by all the facts Assumes the prospect agrees Says, “Voila! We are Great!” Prospect says, “I’ll TIO. Send me a proposal. ” Targeted Results, Inc. /Sandler Sales Institute

Hierarchy of Motivation Pain Fear of Pain Present Pleasure Future Pleasure Attention Interest Curiosity Targeted Results, Inc. /Sandler Sales Institute

Professional Consultant l Uncovers the Pains l Asks if a fact is important to the prospect l Offers Solutions to accepted pains l Proves each Solution with the appropriate facts l Says, “Does this make sense to you? ” l Prospect says, “Yes” Targeted Results, Inc. /Sandler Sales Institute

When you present… Review Pains l Provide the BENEFIT that is the Resolution for the PAIN before the Features l Then, introduce the FEATURES to prove it l Example Targeted Results, Inc. /Sandler Sales Institute
