Are buyers procrastinating too much?

Then maybe it is time for you to CREATE URGENCY

RULE # 1

Don’t push a client into purchasing, rather push him out of his state of procrastination

Explain to the client that the more they wait to act upon their pain, the more it will cost them in the long run.

RULE # 2

Buyers are smart, they can easily smell manipulation. Urgency should always be genuine and truthful.

Be honest with your clients, if not, you will quickly lose their loyalty and respect

your product or service has value...

...to acknowledging that working with you has concrete benefits that meet their needs

Insights

Study your client’s agenda by heart: comex, rush periods, budget dates, quarters, other planned projects, holidays

etc.

Doing so, you will always be one step ahead, knowing exactly what the buyer has planned...

... forcing him to go straight and

follow your path

Monday, April 29, 13

Calculate an approximate cost of the wait for the buyer, telling him how much he is losing everyday if he

doesn’t sign.
