Selling Well by Caring Well with Andrew Millar #365
Andrew Millar is a franchise sales specialist with uBreakiFix, an up and coming tech franchise whose services I’ve used many times. In this episode, Andrew talks about the selling profession, why clients don’t care until you care, why listening matters and lastly how selling well by caring well is all about building relationships.
Caring and Selling Go Hand in Hand
Andrew is from Scotland and sought his fortune in America by starting in sports. But his interests kept growing and while still seeking adventure, he persuaded to persuade himself, the craft of persuasion!
Andrew discovered that turning buyers and shoppers into customers was something he could do. Secondly he was able to do this across a wide and broad set of markets. But there are recurring themes that make for great sales. Caring is one of them.
Clients Don’t Care Until You Care
In his experience, sellers fail to listen and sellers fail to care. Buyers can sense that sellers are transactional. Buyers don’t trust sellers when they are considered nothing more than a commission. Andrew found that sales is a long game that’s replayed day after day. When relationships are built on a true desire to help, caring becomes the foundation of good sales.
“Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care” –Theodore Roosevelt
Take Action Advice
Be patient. Don’t close too quick. Don’t rush the sale. Urgency should be natural and not manufactured. Never forget that listening proves caring.
