Objective: Identify the buying influences.

RESPONSE Strategy 1 of 2:

  • Thank you for letting me know.
  • Who are the people to talk with about this?
  • Who would you recommend I contact?”
  • When is the best time to catch ___ and ___?
  • Before I go, do you have any thoughts in this area that would help your company?”

  2. Specifier: Specifications and performance outcomes
  3. Coach: Credibility - internal (you, product/service, company)
  4. Recommender: Credibility - external (references, testimonials)
  5. Negotiator - value, proof, timing
  6. End User - use what you sell, buy what you sell, store what you sell.
