How to run

the perfect
sales call
Steal this framework to close more
(and better) deals for your agency

Florian Decludt
The difference between
top and average
sellers?
Structure
Average salespeople
'wing it' (because they
want to 'keep it
natural')
The best always follow
the same structure on
their sales calls.
8 specific steps to be
precise:
1. Set the agenda
Make everyone agrees
on the meeting's:
Focus
Duration
Expectations
This will:
Make your prospect
feel more secure.
Make the meeting
more productive.
And put you in a
position of control.
2. Intros & rapport
buiding questions
Have every participant
briefly introduce
themselves.

Use the information


they give to chit chat
for 2-3 minutes
The goal here is to build
rapport with your
prospect and make
them feel comfortable.

Make sure not to spend


too long here.
3. Needs assessment
questions
Here you want to let
the prospect speak as
much as possible.

This is where they speak


about their current
situation
Only speak in 3 cases
here:
1. Asking an open
question.
2. Asking a clarification
question
3. Rephrasing what the
prospect's just said.
Your goal here is to
gather as much intel as
you can...

...so that you can figure


out if you can help them
solve their problems.
4. Create a need
Let's imagine you find a
problem that you can
actually solve.

For example: "We don't


have enough deals in the
pipeline."
You next goal is to press
on this problem to create a
strong need for your
solution.

For example - ask:


"What are the implications
of not having enough
pipeline?"
The key is to get them to
highlight the urgency of
the problem.

Make sure they're the ones


saying it - it's much more
powerful that way.
5. Present a solution
Now that they know they
have a problem and that
they need a solution
for it...

...now is your time to show


your solution to their
problem.
First - rephrase their needs
and their implications to
check that you understand
the situation.
Next - present your solution
as a cure to their problems.

Don't just go through your


slides. Show how it solves
their specific problems.
6. Closing &
objection handling
You've now shown them
the cure to their ailments.

Now is time to ask for


business.

For example: "When should


we start?"
Of course they're going to
have objections.

Actually objections are a


good thing. They show
they're interested.
Handle them by:
Empathizing with them
Clarifying the objection
Isolating the objection
Re-clarifying value
Addressing it
7. Referrals
You've closed a deal -
congratulations!

Most salespeople stop right


here, but they're missing out
on a goldmine.
Referrals

Ask your new client if they


can refer 3 people to you
with similar problems.
That way: 1 client = 3
(warm) leads...

...and your pipeline stays


full with warm
opportunities.
8. Next steps &
follow up
Agree on a series of
next steps and follow-
up with your client
regularly.
Make sure everyone
knows:
What you're supposed
to do next.
What the prospect is
supposed to do next
Check on them
regularly and make sure
the paperwork gets
processed quickly.
Ultimately, you want to
'wow' them not only
during the sale...

...but also after.
