Home Improvement Sales Tips
A one-call close is something that is an art and still done a lot today. A lot of people don’t like it, meaning either the salesperson (then you are in the wrong job) or the customer, because it conjures thoughts of the old-time siding salesperson or stereotyped used car salesperson – i.e., meaning just annoying high pressure with no integrity. It’s what the amateurs, or what I call the neanderthal type of salespeople, do when they try to one-call close. However, if it’s done right, it can be professional, have integrity, and be a pleasant experience for the customer.
I always hear home improvement salespeople say that they never got in, and it was a bad lead. When does the lead start? It doesn’t start when you present. It actually starts when you get the lead from your company. Then you have to make it to the home, get there on time, and do your sales presentation. That’s all part of it. If you want me to be nice, then it starts when the door opens.
In every sales call, it’s very important that you are either making commission or paying tuition. If you don’t make a sale, obviously that’s bad for you and your company, but if you learn from it and get better, then it’s worth it. If you keep learning from your mistakes and get better and better, then eventually you will be forced to make the sale.
I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase telling is not selling. That’s because when you’re doing sales and especially home improvement sales, selling is asking questions. The most common type of questions in selling is what is known as tie downs or getting commitments from your customers.
