Let's get real here: your performance is falling short, and it shows in your average score of 4.8. You have some solid instincts, especially when you focus on building relationships and addressing customer concerns. However, you're missing the mark on clarity, specificity, and active listening. You're trying to hit the right notes, but your responses often lack the structure and depth needed to make an impact.
One consistent pattern is your tendency to mention support and relationship-building, but these points need to be backed up with actionable details. Your responses often feel generic and fail to address the customers’ specific needs, which is a big red flag. You need to elevate your game by honing your ability to ask probing questions that reveal deeper customer pain points and tailor your solutions accordingly.
I recommend diving into the SPIN Selling technique and the Value Proposition Selling approach. These will help you craft responses that not only highlight your offerings but also relate them directly to what your prospect values most.
Remember, every interaction is an opportunity to make a lasting impression. Your "Aha" moment should be realizing that clarity and specificity are your best friends in sales. Don't just tell them what you can do; show them how it solves their problems and enhances their situation. You have the potential; now it's time to refine your approach and turn that potential into performance.
