The right amount of talking will do the trick
Of course, when discussing how to build a high persuasive conversation, one of the most important things is talking. As a minor, as it may sound, it has a pretty huge impact. It essential to keep in mind, that the right amount of talking is the main agenda. This is because too much talking will make the potential buyermuch less interested.
Salespeople tend to talk too much and it has been statistically studied that because of the like the sound of their own talking, they talk 75 percent of the time which is clearly too much. They tend to dominate the conversation and that in turn kills the entire reason behind all the questioning.
On the other hand, people who are not salespeople tend to talk only 43 percent of the time which is too less. So this is where the highly anticipated question comes: what is the right amount? Just keep in mind that you as a salesperson need to make the consumer feel like they are the star of the conversation. You need to ask questions which will make them generate answers which point out to their needs, wants and expectation. The entire conversation must be focused on them. That is the most interactive and engaging conversation you can have with them.
