Be honest
If you can´t answer a question, don´t lie. Show you are competent by letting them know you can get the answer quickly and promise to get
back to them.
- I can´t answer that myself but I know someone who works with this on a daily basis.
- I´ll just check with him and get back to you right after this call.
Observe the 80/20 rule
There is a general rule that during the initial selling phase, the prospect does 80% of the talking. Get your customers or prospective customers to do most of the talking by asking open-ended questions that will let you know exactly what they want or need.
- Can you tell me more about what exactly you are looking for?
- Why do you think this will work for you?
Smile and be friendly
This may seem obvious, but when you are speaking a foreign language you tend to become nervous and start to frown instead of smiling. But smiling makes you seem more friendly and engaging. After all, few people would want to talk to a dull person, let alone do business with them.
