A salesperson delivery of words affects how the customer will understand and evaluate his/her presentation.
poor voice and speech habits make it difficult for other party to understand the message.
SENDING VERBAL MESSAGEB- VOICE CHARACTERISTICS

minute. People who talk faster or slower than the normal rate
should consciously try to slow down or speed up.
SENDING VERBAL MESSAGEB- VOICE CHARACTERISTICS

B.2. LOUDNESS Speech loudness should be tailored to the
communication situation . Generally, salespeople have to avoid monotony and
learn to emphasize certain points of the presentation to indicate the customer that these parts are more important.
SENDING VERBAL MESSAGEB- VOICE CHARACTERISTICS

ASKING QUESTIONS
SENDING VERBAL MESSAGEC- ASKING QUESTIONS
Objective:
1. To gets the other party to participate actively in the interview rather than just listening to the presentation.
2. To get the other party’s attention and ends up learning and remembering more about the idea you want to communicate.
SENDING VERBAL MESSAGEC- ASKING QUESTIONS
Recommendations before questioning:
1. Space out your questions
2. Ask short simple questions
3. Avoid leading questions
4. Use questions to collect information
5. Use questions to maintain the flow of information
SENDING VERBAL MESSAGEC- ASKING QUESTIONS
SPACE OUT YOUR QUESTIONS When salespeople ask several questions, one right after
another, customers may feel threatened.
SENDING VERBAL MESSAGEC- ASKING QUESTIONS
Some customers react by disclosing less rather than giving more information.
Questions should be spaced out so the customer has time to answer each question in a relaxed atmosphere.
If several questions are really necessary, the salesperson might ask a permission question first.
SENDING VERBAL MESSAGEC- ASKING QUESTIONS
ASK SHORT SIMPLE QUESTIONS Questions that have two or more parts should be
avoided.
Why? Customer will not know which part to answer and the
salesperson will not know which part has been answered.
SENDING VERBAL MESSAGEC- ASKING QUESTIONS
AVOID LEADING QUESTIONS Questions should not suggest an appropriate answer. Such questions may put a word in the customer’s mouth
rather than drawing out what the customer actually think.
SENDING VERBAL MESSAGEC- ASKING QUESTIONS
e.g.
Salesperson “ why do you think this product is a good one”
Customer “ well, you said it has a low price and reliable”
SENDING VERBAL MESSAGEC- ASKING QUESTIONS
QUESTIONS TO COLLECT INFORMATION Questions used to collect information usually starts with
4W and 1H. The response for these questions gives the salesperson
a better understanding of the customer problems.
SENDING VERBAL MESSAGEC- ASKING QUESTIONS
QUESTION TO MAINTAIN FLOW OF INFORMATION
A good way to maintain the flow of information is to offer verbal and non-verbal encouragement, such as:
1. Really
2. Uh-huh
3. That’s interesting
4. Is that so
SENDING VERBAL MESSAGEC- ASKING QUESTIONS
Another approach for maintaining the flow of information is to make a positive requests for additional information such as:
Can you give me an example of what you mean?Please tell me more about that?
SENDING VERBAL MESSAGEC- ASKING QUESTIONS
A third type of approach for maintaining flow of information is to make neutral statement that reaffirm or repeat the customer’s comment.
This allows the salesperson to dig deeper, and stimulate customers to continue their thoughts in a logical manner.
SENDING VERBAL MESSAGEC- ASKING QUESTIONS
By reaffirming a customer’s statement, the salesperson can respond to the customer without agreeing or disagreeing with him/her.
LISTENING TO VERBAL MESSAGE
LISTENING TO VERBAL MESSAGE
Many people believe that effective communication is achieved by talking a lot.
LISTENING TO VERBAL MESSAGE
Inexperienced people think that they have to outtalk the other party.
However, people who monopolize the discussion will not find out what the other party wants.
LISTENING TO VERBAL MESSAGE
120-160 words per minute.
800 words per minute.
LISTENING TO VERBAL MESSAGE
Hearing Listening Active listening
LISTENING TO VERBAL MESSAGEACTIVE LISTENING
Active listening is not a passive activity.
Good listeners project themselves into the mind of the speaker and attempt to feel what the speaker feels.
LISTENING TO VERBAL MESSAGEACTIVE LISTENING
If a customer says that he needs a small Microphone, the salespersons should listen carefully to know:
1. What the term small microphone means to the customer?
2. How small it has to be?
3. What the customer is willing to sacrifice to get this small microphone.
LISTENING TO VERBAL MESSAGEACTIVE LISTENING
Suggestions for active listening include:
1. Repeating information
2. Restating or rephrasing information
3. Clarifying information
4. Summarizing the conversation
5. Tolerating the silence
6. Concentrating the ideas being communicated
LISTENING TO VERBAL MESSAGEACTIVE LISTENING
1- REPEATING INFORMATION It means : repeat what the other party has just said. Objectives :
1. To verify the information taken from the other party.
2.To minimize the chance of misunderstanding
LISTENING TO VERBAL MESSAGEACTIVE LISTENING
e.g. customer “ I will take 15 pack of X and 10 packs of Y” salesperson “sure, dr….. That will be 15 X and 10 Y” Customer “ wait a minute, I got that back. I want 10 X
and 10 Y” Salesperson “ fine, 10 X and 10 Y” Customer “ yes, that is what I want”
LISTENING TO VERBAL MESSAGEACTIVE LISTENING
2- RESTATING INFORMATION It means: to restate the other party comment using his
own words. Objective:
1. Ensure that both parties understand each other.
LISTENING TO VERBAL MESSAGEACTIVE LISTENING
e.g. Customer “ X efficacy is not as I expected” Salesperson “ I see, you are dissatisfied with the results
of X” Customer “ oh, no I didn’t say that, I mean that X results
are more than expected”
LISTENING TO VERBAL MESSAGEACTIVE LISTENING
3- CLARIFYING INFORMATION It means: to ask questions designed to obtain additional
information. This may give a complete understanding of the other
party concern.
LISTENING TO VERBAL MESSAGEACTIVE LISTENING
E.g Customer “ I tried X and it is not effective” Salesperson “ in which indication you had used it?” Customer “ chronic prostatitis” Salesperson “ what concentration did you prescribed?” Customer “ 750 mg”
LISTENING TO VERBAL MESSAGEACTIVE LISTENING
Salesperson “ what dose?” Customer “ twice daily”Salesperson “ are you used to prescribe multivitamins
with X?”Customer “ does that make any difference?
LISTENING TO VERBAL MESSAGEACTIVE LISTENING
4- SUMMARIZING THE CONVERSATION It means: summarizing points that have been discussed
earlier in the presentation.This will give both parties a quick review of the
presentation.
LISTENING TO VERBAL MESSAGEACTIVE LISTENING
5- TOLERATING SILENCE This technique is better to be called “bite your tongue” During the sales presentation, the customer may need
time to think. While the customer is thinking, a period of silence
occurs.
LISTENING TO VERBAL MESSAGEACTIVE LISTENING
You may feel uncomfortable during this period and think that they have to say something.
But the other party can't think while you are talking. So you have to tolerate this silence in order to give the
other party a chance to think
LISTENING TO VERBAL MESSAGEACTIVE LISTENING
6- CONCENTRATING ON THE IDEAS BEING COMMUNICATED
Sometimes, words that customers say and how they say can distract salespeople from the idea the customer are actually trying to communicate .
LISTENING TO VERBAL MESSAGEACTIVE LISTENING
e.gsalespeople may react strongly when customers use
emotion-laden phrases such as:
1. Bad service
2. Lousy product.
Instead of getting angry, the salespeople should try to know what upset the customer so much.
LISTENING TO VERBAL MESSAGEACTIVE LISTENING
The good listener knows when to talk and when to listen.

The smile should be natural and comfortable, not a smirk or an exaggerated.
SENDING NON VERBAL MESSAGE1- BODY LANGUGAE / 2- Eyes

sincerity, credibility and trustworthiness. Staring has an opposite effect and makes the customers
uncomfortable.

If the customer showed a friendlier relationship, the salesperson should move closer.
SENDING NON VERBAL MESSAGE2- SPACE AND PHYSICAL CONTACT
TOUCHING People fall into two touch groups: contact and non
contact. Contact people see non contact as: cold and unfriendly. Non contact people see contact as: over friendly and
obtrusive.
SENDING NON VERBAL MESSAGE2- SPACE AND PHYSICAL CONTACT
