How to be an Aggressive Sales Professional

One of the homework given today for training I’ve attended 6-Nov-08 (Aggressive Sales Professional) conducted by Azizah Saad and Lizaimi is to recap what we have learnt for today and present it to them tomorrow morning. Our group members are Arif (me), Rozita, Hana, Hasliza and Khalil.

The training is about how we can be a better unit trust consultant. How to move from a lousy behaviour to an Extra-Ordinary behaviour. Many people join unit trust industry and they come from a wide range of background. Many of the time their previous experience does not equip them with necessary values to be a successful a unit trust consultant. Fortunately these values are all learnable.

In summary what we’ve learned (by the way our group name during the training is BOLOS) on the first day are:

  1. 5 key patterns of the Aggressive Sales Professional (SUGBeK)
  2. 4 arrows of power communication (SHET)
  3. 7 steps of selling skills (CINYSAP)
  4. 6 rules of selling (NTPESF)
  5. how to build rapport (how to get kum cheng)
  6. 4 types of salesman
  7. Labor of love (Do what u love and love what u do by Che Det)
  8. Star Wars Yoda Wisdom - try not. Either do or do not. All is in your MIND. Look at the ENERGY. If we don’t do, somebody else will.
  9. The seminar is high-energy action-packed seminar which emphasise in audience participation, games, stories, example, team work, focus, alert, creative, read posters etc

  2. friendly, smiling face

Rapport does not need to be long.

It doesn’t matter where you are coming from, if you were machine gun - you need to know that now is to change to better salesman (an XO consultant).

Besides the points above, all participants need to recite and memorise all posters pasted on the walls. Whenever there is a break, we recite it in front of the facilitator to get points.

Among posters that I remember:

  2. I am a mental warrior

  4. For things to change, I must change first
  5. I know I can be better
  6. No rapport no right to sell

Games that we learnt:

  1. change shoes (right to left and left to right)
  2. throw the poker cards into a bowl
  3. 3 types of hearts (S, M and L)
  4. change place
  5. change partner
  6. chair exact location
  7. time keeper
  8. point (RM) keeper

Other things we learn is the interpretation of market share that Public Mutual holds roughly 40% of unit trust market share within Malaysian private unit trust companies. When we meet our prospect client, we may say out of 100 people that invested in unit trust, 40 will choose public mutual. How about you…
