Flip the script
When presenting a quote, timing, as they say, is everything.
Early in the conversation, ask the customer about their plans to pay for the system – and let them know that you’ll be talking about payment solutions later. Leading with this exchange when presenting quotes can make a huge difference to your success in closing commercial deals.
Not at the end of the conversation.
Not when the customer is in a hurry.
Not only if the customer asks about payment solutions.
Instead of talking about cost at the end, open your customer conversations with payment solutions and completely change the dynamic.
There’s no tense moment where prices are revealed towards the end, and the customer can go into the conversation more open to the solution you’re offering.
Of course, this means you can’t wait for potential customers to mention funding options – business owners may not think of discussing how they plan to pay for equipment with the person quoting them. This doesn’t mean cost isn’t a barrier.
Adding fast, fuss-free funding solutions into every sales conversation at the start makes price objections a thing of the past.
Is it really that simple?
The best sales hacks are always simple.
Beginning the conversation by letting your customers know that payment solutions are on offer is a small but significant difference.
Installing solar no longer presents a large cost hurdle to overcome. Instead, it is revealed as the fuss-free option for reducing energy expenses that it can be with Smart Ease payment solutions.
