Como consultor de vendas, você tem obrigação de ter 100x mais quilometragem que seu lead, por ter conversado com +1000 empresas com dores semelhantes e das quais 300 viraram clientes. Destes clientes, 10 viraram cases de sucesso inspiradores que você deve ter detalhes na ponta da língua. Saber dos casos de uso, conhecer o produto interno atual e roadmap no curto prazo, bem como, eventuais lançamentos dos concorrentes também são informações necessárias para complementar a expertise do consultor.

Active Listening: Practice active listening by fully engaging with clients, understanding their needs, and addressing their concerns. Ask open-ended questions to encourage clients to share more about their challenges and goals. Summarize and reflect back on what clients say to ensure clarity and demonstrate understanding.

A sales meeting is similar to a psychologist's anamnesis: understanding the context of problems, objectives, personal or company limitations and finally the lead's mood to make it happen. After hearing all this, it is then possible to discuss solutions to work together.

Truly understand your client's needs by listening carefully to their concerns and requirements. This helps in tailoring solutions that precisely address their challenges. Try asking open-ended questions starting with "how" "why" and "what" and asking thoughtful follow-up questions to truly understand your prospect's situation, pain, and goals.

Relationship Building: Foster long-term relationships with clients by consistently delivering value and maintaining open communication. Be responsive and accessible, providing timely support and follow-up. Show genuine interest in your clients' success and celebrate their achievements alongside them.

Share your tips for building client trust in the comments below.

Relationship is not a point, it is a line. Nothing better than trust to create intimacy with the lead. To create trust, it is necessary to recognize vulnerabilities and show in practice that generating value for the lead is more important than closing the sale in the short term.

Ethical Standards: Maintain high ethical standards by being transparent, honest, and fair in all your dealings. Provide unbiased advice that prioritizes the client's best interests, even if it means recommending solutions outside your offerings. Build trust by consistently delivering on promises and maintaining confidentiality.

Maintain high ethical standards in all interactions. Honesty and transparency are key to building long-term trust with clients. I once recommended against a deal that wouldn't make financial sense for a client, which was simply the right thing, but also cemented trust and opened the door for future business with this client.

Continuous Improvement: Regularly seek feedback from clients and colleagues to identify areas for improvement. Invest in professional development through workshops, seminars, and ongoing education. Reflect on your experiences and adapt your strategies to enhance your consulting skills continually.
