CAUSE (=Source Point) EFFECT (=Receipt Point) PROBLEM
Cause and Effect To solve a problem or to handle succesfully a situation we need to see ourselves as “the cause” of such situation. • If we aren’t able to do it, it is the situation that is controlling us. • If we are not capable of seeing ourselves as «the cause» of the behaviour of our customers, we are indeed leaving the control to them. Case history scuola
The Scale of Effectiveness • EXTERNAL CONTROL Someone who thinks that all her life and misfortunes are or have been dependent upon others and circumstances • CONTROL OF ONE’S ACTIONS • One sees herself as the cause only of the activities performed directly but cannot «accept blame» for other people mistakes or for what happens outside her area of influence. • She will not reach her goals • INTERNAL CONTROL Sees herself as the cause of her actions but also as the cause of other people actions and activities.
Causative Thinking • When faced with a problem or with a disappointing situation, we can consider ourselves “the cause” or “the effect”. • When we consider ourselves to be the effect, our thoughts or explanations have “another person” or “circumstances” as the subjects of what happened • “He doesn’t understand…” • “The market is slow…”
When we consider ourselves as «the cause» we use «MYSELF» or «ME» as the subject of what happened: • «I wasn’t detailed enough in my explanations…» • «I have to improve my marketing …»
The following thoughts belong to cause or effect ? • THE CUSTOMER ALLOWED ME VERY SHORT TIME DO DO MY PRESENTATION • THE COMPETITION OFFERS A LOWER PRICE • THE CUSTOMER WAS NOT INTERESTED • THE MARKET IS IN A RECESSION • THE COMPANY I WORK FOR DOESN’T GIVE ME WHAT I REALLY NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL
Developing Knowledge • 1. We notice something non optimum. • 2. We consider ourselves “the cause” of this situation. • 3. We start devising systems to tackle the problem. • 4. If these systems do not work, we continue considering ourselves as “the cause” of the non-optimal situation. • 5. Acting in this way, we will develop or find out the right knowledge to solve the problem. • Sooner or later we will become a LEADER!

The Triangle of Rapport Feeling • By increasing one of the factors, the other two increase as well. • By decreasing one of the factors, the other two automatically decrease. • During the Interview Phase we would need the customer to have an open communication with us.

HOW TO BUILD RAPPORT • To expand the triangle, the salesperson has to establish some Points of Agreement with the customer. To do that he should : • Be interested or curious in whatever he sees or hear from the customer. • The «Causative Salesperson» is INTERESTED (curious, eager to know and find out). • The «Effect Salesperson» tries to be INTERESTING.

Exercise • With another student you don’t know so well, practice the Warm Up Phase. • The other student impersonates a potential customer of your company. • You: • A) Introduce yourself • B) Notice something about the other person that interests you • C) Ask questions and keep being interested until the other student gets excited about something
Warm Up/Rapport • The end result of this phase is: • A Customer who bought the salesperson and who is ready to talk openly about his problems and difficulties (he gets excited)
