Anil Choudhari

Quality of Customer Facing Time matters
1. Prepare before the meeting. Knowing about their plant, culture &
history before meeting will enable you to ask right questions.
2. Never meet customer on his seat, manage to bring him to
conference room with few of his colleagues. You will get full
attention & the message conveyed to more than one person
( sometimes subordinates can give good ideas)
3. Bring them to the plant / site where you can see your machines or
competition machines running. You will find something to highlight
or bring to their notice helping your cause.
4. Summarize the meeting with actions points & way forward. Bullet
points will be remembered & you will get commitment from him.

Before you call.prepare
Before you quit.try
Before you talk..listen
Before you react..think
Before you offer solutionunderstand need
Before you quote..know their benefits
Never ever give cheap solution
if value to customer is Big
Clarity will come from
Before you play .Know the rules of the game
Accountability : Causes for Loss of Customers
1. The customer dies 1%
2. The customer moves 3%
3. A friend of customer emerge as competitor. 5%
4. The competition converts the customer to
become their supporter. 9%
5. The customer becomes dissatisfied. 14%
6. The customer believes that sales person
doesnt care. 68%
( Above figures are from Mckinsey survey report 2002 )
The lesson is .LOVE YOUR CUSTOMER
Possibility of getting Business increases
 If you call customer that you have
solution which can be useful to him 10 %
 If you are referred by some common
friend or your friend joins new company 28 %
 If customer calls you that he has a project
& he wants to meet you 53 %
This information about the study is from www.synovate.com
It is always beneficial if you can manage
that customer invites you for the meeting
1. What do I understand about the customers buying
process?
2. How have my selling activities helped the customer
commit to taking action?
3. What actions has the customer already committed to?
4. What actions has the customer not yet committed to?
5. What can I do now that might help the customer make the
next commitment?
6. What am I prepared to do if the customer refuses to
commit?
Questions which will bring different end result
