Do your clients hear you?

Do your clients hear you?
Sensual Selling
Author: Bradley B. Watkins

"The 1st step is to sound wonderful"

As humans we are Visual, Auditory, or Kinesthetic learners.
The quickest way to make rapport with a new customer and gain new business is to be attentive to your customer’s speech patterns and the “sensual” words they use.


Visual Ques:
Picture this, looks like, imagine this, or any other words that illustrate an image.

Tempo:
Speak very quickly to keep up with the images in their mind.

Sample phrases these clients use:
“I can’t see a way out of this.”
“We are looking into using your services.”
“Can you see what I mean?”


Auditory Ques:
Sounds like, listen, heard
Audio learners will verbally express their interest and enthusiasm!

Tempo:
Typically slower and more melodic than visual learners.

Sample phrases these clients use:

“It sounds like this would help me.”
“I heard what you said.”



Kinesthetic Ques:
Feeling, instinct, use of emotional words
You must appeal to the emotional motivations of these customers!

Tempo:
Varies depending on the emotional state of the customer.  This client lives in the world of emotion.

Sample phrases these clients use:

I go on my gut feeling.”
“This feels right.”
“I’m just so nervous.”



Use this information to understand the deeper meaning of “putting yourself in the customer’s shoes”.
