Southwestern Company Presents: How to create a buying atmosphere
We’ve talked about how building trust is a crucial facet of selling. So, how do you make someone like and trust you? At the Southwestern Company they teach how you need to create a “buying atmosphere”–a non-pressured environment that allows your prospect to open up their mind and allow you to truly demonstrate the value of your product or service.
Creating a “buying atmosphere” can be established in a sales situation by using statements such as “Well, Erin what I’m going to do is show you how this works, and if you like what you see that’s great…but if it’s not a fit, that’s no big deal. I just want to make sure you understand how it works. Does that sound fair?”
Any time you feel like you are over pressuring the client be sure to use a buying atmosphere statement like the one above or even something as simple as “if you like it, great. If not, no problemo.” The sales experience shouldn’t mimic that of a used car lot. It should be the kind of atmosphere that encourages discussion, fosters relationships and builds trust. ALWAYS create a buying atmosphere that keeps both parties comfortable and engaged.

Hi there! I understand this is somewhat off-topic however I
needed to ask. Does operating a well-established website like yours require a massive amount
work? I’m brand new to writing a blog however I do write in my diary on a daily basis. I’d like to start a blog so I can easily share my experience and thoughts online.
Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions
or tips for new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!

Arjun,
The best advise I was given about writing blogs is to write what you’re passionate about and helps other people.
Good luck!
