Engaging the Prospect • Quickly engage the prospect and introduce yourself and CLEAR • Use open-ended questions, compliments, or some other type of clever opening to engage a prospect • If following up or approached by a prospect, mix up your greeting slightly
“You Stop Them” Traffic Grabbing • Starts with good eye contact and great smile • Use what you have available to draw people • Examples include running sporting events, Clear365, YouTube, movies, games, and TV sitcoms on your flat screens • Be observant • Notice what prospect is wearing (particularly university logos and sports team t-shirts), shopping packages, circumstances, kids with their parents, business people, senior citizens, etc. • With this visual information, tailor what you’re going to say to get your prospect to stop
Transitioning after Traffic Grabber • Once you grab someone’s attention, make a smooth transition • The transition takes you from initial contact into the sales process • In general, your Engaging Introduction includes: • Getting prospect’s attention with a grabber • Who you are and who you’re with • Credibility statement that sums up CLEAR • Transition statement
“They Stop You” Elevator Pitch • Concise, clear summary of our products/services • Includes key customer benefits • Can be delivered in the time span of an elevator ride (~30 seconds)
“What’s CLEAR?” “They Stop You” This is the perfect opportunity to have your 30-second elevator pitch ready!
“How do you compare to the competition?” “They Stop You” Clarifying Question: “To whom are you comparing us?” Response: “In general, we offer something that the others can’t - increased convenience with fast, simple mobile Internet with no waiting for a technician to install. Unlike others, you can take us with you wherever you go in our coverage area.” Transition Question: “So, where do you live?”
“How fast are you?” “They Stop You” Clarifying Question: “Let me ask you, for what purpose do you use the Internet?” Response: “We offer speeds of up to 6 Mbps (with bursts to 10 Mbps!) depending on the service you need to address your usage.” Transition Question: “Where do you live?”
“How much does CLEAR cost?” “They Stop You” Clarifying Question: “Let me ask you, where do you typically use the Internet?” Response: “With CLEAR you have choices and different plans to meet your needs. We also have special promotional pricing available depending on the solution you choose.” Transition Question: “Do you have a laptop or desktop computer?”
“You Stop By” Door-Knocking • Smile • Maintain eye contact • Be considerate of personal space – you are a guest in their home • Be sincere and be yourself • Be prepared with your engaging introduction
Pre-Qualification • Once prospect is hooked, pre-qualify them early in the sales process • Pre-quals are captured on the Comp Report • Don’t spend too much time with someone only to find he/she is outside our coverage area
Pre-qual Policies and Procedures • Full (street level) pre-qual required for Home and Mobile service • Pre-qual mobility products in a few places where prospect wants to use product • Manual Overrides (MORs) restricted via Order Entry • If prospect does not pre-qual, there are additional options
Asking Probing Questions • Identify/uncover prospect’s needs • Identify where prospect is (Actual State) so when you present solution you can show them where he/she would like to be (Desired State) • Ask questions that determine if CLEAR solution is good fit for the prospect • Ask open-ended questions to elicit as much information as possible
Feature Advantage Benefit SOLUTION Presenting Custom Solution • Consider features, advantages, and benefits of a potential solution • Key is understanding benefit(s) to the prospect • Present accurate and complete solution that will meet prospect’s real needs
Handling Objections • There are four steps to handling objections: • Listen to prospect’s objection • Acknowledge the objection • Explore to undercover true objection • Respond to the objection • We refer to this as the “LAER” process
LAER Example Objection: “I’m happy with my current provider.” • Step 1: Listen - Listen to the prospect’s objection. • Step 2: Acknowledge - “I appreciate your satisfaction with your current provider.” • Step 3: Explore - “If you could change two things, what would they be?”
LAER Example Objection: “I’m happy with my current provider.” • Step 4: Respond - “CLEAR offers the mobility and simplicity that your current provider does not. [Describe benefits in detail]. We also have local support staff and customer care available when you need them. And we offer a variety of plans to address your specific needs. [Discuss limitations of bundled plans]. And finally, our service agreement protects you from fluctuating rates that other providers may employ.” • Close: “Let me get your details so you can start using [insert plan] today.”
Closing the Sale • Don’t wait for prospect to ask you • If you wait because you feel embarrassed or awkward about asking for a sale, you will lose the sale – that’s money that never makes it into your pocket • The three main types of closes are: • the assumptive close • the summary close • the trial close
Following-up • Critical to developing your business • Immediately after sale, send handwritten “Thank You” note • Call customer two days after sale • Make sure service is meeting expectations • Follow-up again two weeks, two months and five months after sale • Use the 2.2.2.5 Tracker Tool • Always ask for referrals
