Words The Sell - Part 2

Hello friends, I received great feedback on Monday’s email, so let's get started with part two.

Before we get started with our magic words, I want to emphasize how important it is to relay the benefits of what you're selling.

Sometimes the product or service sells itself, other times you have to do a little persuading or leading if you will. You do this by explaining the benefits of your products and services to your customers.

Remember, customers are going to buy. Why not give them reasons to buy from you and not your competitors. One trick is to state a benefit, then listen to your customer... As Charlie Greer says, “you listen yourself into sales not talk yourself into sales.”

Again, state a benefit and listen. If you listen carefully, you will notice that the customer will tell you what they want from you, to be able for you to close the sale. If they don't, tell them another benefit and listen again.

One last point, benefits tie into value. Jeffrey Gitomer said, “if the customer perceives a difference in you and perceives a reassuring value in terms of how he or she wins, then the sale is yours.

In the next e-mail that we send out we will discuss the benefits and values as a company versus the products or service that we sell.

Since we got a good response from our last email, I'm going to go ahead and give you ten new magical words:

  • At last
  • Boosts
  • Incredible
  • Proven
  • Quickly
  • Recommended
  • Save
  • Stop
  • Warning
  • You

Be sure to use the same exercise that we gave you on Monday’s email with your new ten words. You'll be amazed from the results you receive.

What your fellow electricians say about ES2.

New member here. I went into business in 89 and have been flat rating for about 15 years. I was trying to find one program to get rid of 6 that I was using.I found it! There is so much great information in the forum, and the contributions by everyone is nothing like I've ever seen. Tight group in here. The forums are worth the monthly fee alone.

I have been using the system for nearly four years now. To call this anything less than essential would be doing a disservice to what it has done for me. The amount of time it saves me from office paperwork is priceless. I no longer need to come home after a long day and type up handwritten notes into spreadsheet and mail out an invoice or quote. Everything is done onsite. My customers receive quotes nearly instantaneously, and I'm no longer trying to estimate on the fly. The team at ES2 is very attentive and constantly striving to help advance my business as a whole. I'm glad I can count of them being in my corner when I need them.

After many years of pricing the old fashioned way and not making any real money to speak of, I started searching for a better and more modern way to do business without paper invoices and having to spend family time to work up the estimates and not sending them by snail mail. Now when I arrive I already have my customers data in the customer list , I just pull up the work to be done by touching it on the iPad click on their name and have them sign the estimate on the iPad screen with the set pricing already there and your done !! The its emailed on the spot. My income jumped into the black very quickly and I've never looked back with regret for joining ES2.

We have been using “Electrical Success Systems” software for a number of years now. It allowed us to get rid of the paper, lost notes, and confusion that plagues most all of us. We have been able to streamline the quoting process, keep track of invoicing, and make changes to the business to bring better service to our customers. The staff is excellent at helping you out and answering your questions and concerns, and that is not just about the software but the business side of things too. Ultimately it has helped our shop to become extremely competitive at a higher level, all the while maintaining a healthy profit margin. I highly recommend utilizing the software and all the company has to offer!

I am part owner of an electrical service company in the San Francisco bay area and we have been serving our clients since 1999. We started using the ES2 system in 2011 and have been very happy with the program and with the support staff. In the past we used paper and pen to give the customer a number that we thought would be profitable for us. And sometimes we would get the job and sometimes we would not. Ever since we signed up with ES2 we have closed more business, gained more clients, clients love to see that we give them an ``up front honest price”, they love the professional look (using a portable device iPad or Samsung pad) and most important we make a good ethical profit.

You owe it to yourself and to your family to at least try the system for 6 months. You have nothing to lose except the profit that is rightfully yours if you don’t sign up.

Since my start with Electrical Success Systems, job closure has tripled. The highly professional service this software system has, is why my confidence in this system is so great. Not only the program, but also the vast amount of practical on the job experience, that shines through every part of it. It is easy to forget the amount of work that goes into a task and running a business, but with ES2, all of that is built in. The thought that went into each task extends into the back office. With direct input into quickbooks online, it more than pays for itself in the time saved from double entry. Great job James and crew!
