You Can't Sell Anybody Anything

 

Once you remove the stigma about the typical sales process and replace it with the concept that you are simply helping people make a good decision, the whole  game changes.  Your confidence will soar, you will have a clear understanding of what selling really is and your ability to convince people will skyrocket.

 The seven skills in this ebook are easy to grasp, easy to apply and, most importantly, easy to blend into your current selling process.

 Here is an example we can all relate to:

The harder you try to SELL the extra hot wings, the cheese sticks or the bigger pizza, the more resistance you build between you and your customer.  When someone places an order and your server or the person taking the order applies pressure to "up sell" the customer, the customer feels the pressure and most of the time backs off.  After the server or order taker fails a few times they get discouraged and usually quit trying.

 So if you can't sell anything what is the answer to increasing check size?  Here is the key: people like to make their own decisions.

Here is a guaranteed way that can get customers to add something to the order every time.  And your servers won't mind doing it as long as you give them a three minute sales lesson about what their roll really is.  Explain to your wait staff that they are not expected to try to SELL the customers more items, but the they are expected TO HELP THEIR CUSTOMERS MAKE GOOD DECISION ABOUT THEIR PURCHASE.

What this does is removes the stigma of seeing themselves as a PUSHY SALES PERSON and they instead see themselves as a MEAL CONSULTANT or perhaps a FOOD CONSULTANT.

For example.  Let's say a family of four just entered your restaurant and they are looking over the menu.  Instead of saying something like "Hi, my name is Mary and I am going to be your waitress tonight, would you like an appetizer?" Or "Hi, my name is Mary and I am going to be your waitress tonight, what would you like to drink?" What if they said this:

"Hi, my name is Mary and I am here to help you make the perfect choice for your meal.  Do you mind if I give you a quick update about what most people have been ordering?"

What have they just done? 

First, they got permission to help them make the perfect choice. 

Second, customers will not be able to NOT know what most people have been ordering. 

Third, they are not SELLING, but rather offering to give their customers a NEWS update. 

Forth, they have put into play the fact that most people don't make their own decisions, they do what "other people" do. 

Fifth, they are giving their customers the option to say, "thanks, I appreciate it, but I am just going to have the Eggplant Parmesan."

This ONE LINE has that much punch!

Once your waiter, waitress or person taking the order gets their permission the customer is not being SOLD, they are being informed.  The customer is being INFORMED about the most popular appetizer, the great comments they are getting about the hot wings, the best selling desert and why so many people are crazy about it.

If you are not sure about the power of this concept, let's try it on YOU.  Let’s say I am a sales person coming in through your back door and you are the owner of the restaurant.  I say:  "Hi Joe (or Jane), I'm here to sell you some chicken wings, how many boxes do you want?"  You may not NEED any chicken wings.  You may have bought chicken wings from someone else.  You may get upset because this pushy sales person is trying to SELL me something!

Let's try the same technique on YOU and see if you would be more willing to listen and perhaps place an order.

"Hi Joe (or Jane) my name is Bob and I am here to help you make the perfect choice for some of the items you have on your menu.  Do you mind if I give you a quick update about what most people have been ordering and why?"

The "quick update" is NEWS!

The reason people listen to the news and read the newspapers, is because of the word that's buried in both of these items -- "new."  That's the one thing everyone is interested in -- what's new. They want to know what's happening now, who's doing what, and why. They want to know what's unusual about it, or different about it.

If your wait staff person or order taker make the presentation "newsworthy" they will be on their way to making the extra sale. And it only has to be a "quick update" about your new menu item, your most popular menu items, your best selling deserts, or what your customers are saying.
