Having the right intent in any and every conversation is pertinent.
If you’re pushing your product on someone, they can tell. They can tell what your intentions are. They can tell what you’re attempting to do. If your goal is to sell someone on your first conversation, they’ll see you as a salesperson.
But, if your intention is to truly help someone improve their business, they’ll see that too. You’d be surprised who large of a role intention plays in peoples decisions.
You’re more likeable. You’re more trusting. You’re more than just another salesperson. You’re a trusted advisor. You’re more of a consultant.
Show your intent throughout the whole process not towards the end of the process.
They have a problem that your solution solves. Don’t sell them your product. Sell the solution to their problems.
Your intentions should be around helping them. You need to be able to step away from the sale. If what you have cannot solve their problems you have to be able to give them options outside of your products. That’s true intent.
Show you care. Show you want to help them. Don’t hard sell your products. Look to provide solutions to your prospects problems.
Customers will look out for you as well. They’ll recommend prospects call you. They’ll become references. They’ll be more than willing to help you with anything. Intent creates life long clients.
Lead with the right intent and you’ll see your business continue to grow for years.
