Home Improvement Sales Tips
Learn in-home sales closing techniques to overcome the “three estimates” objection, build credibility, demonstrate value, and close more sales.
When doing home improvement sales, it’s important to get enough trust and rapport to be able to sell a high-ticket item after talking to a total stranger for 2 hours. They believe you, they buy. They don’t believe you, they don’t buy. The quickest way to get this level of rapport is using the power of truth. We all know that selling is telling the truth in the best possible light. A good salesperson never lies; only the weak ones do. That’s not what I am talking about here. What I mean goes beyond you overstating the guarantees or the truth about what your product actually is or what it can do. What I am talking about is being truthful in your relationship with your customer.
Learn five ways to maintain a strong attitude, overcome sales slumps, and achieve long-term success in in-home home improvement sales.
Have you ever been or are you currently in a sales slump, doing in-home sales like selling home improvements? Here are four things you should be aware of to avoid getting in a slump, or what to do if you are already in one.
A one-call close is something that is an art and still done a lot today. A lot of people don’t like it, meaning either the salesperson (then you are in the wrong job) or the customer, because it conjures thoughts of the old-time siding salesperson or stereotyped used car salesperson – i.e., meaning just annoying high pressure with no integrity. It’s what the amateurs, or what I call the neanderthal type of salespeople, do when they try to one-call close. However, if it’s done right, it can be professional, have integrity, and be a pleasant experience for the customer.
I always hear home improvement salespeople say that they never got in, and it was a bad lead. When does the lead start? It doesn’t start when you present. It actually starts when you get the lead from your company. Then you have to make it to the home, get there on time, and do your sales presentation. That’s all part of it. If you want me to be nice, then it starts when the door opens.
