What To Do When HR Calls...
Generally, when you present yourself as a prospective candidate for a new employment opportunity, your information will filter through the Human Resources department. Since every company has their own hiring process, understand that you cannot always control when HR will call you. Our philosophy is that a prepared candidate will have a higher chance of success than an unprepared candidate.Here are a few things to keep in mind if HR does call:1. Remain calm: Very few HR departments will take the time or effort to call candidates they are not interested in. Regardless of the tone or tenor of their voice, a call from HR should be seen as a step forward in the

In a Rut? Ready for a Career Change?
Are you unhappy at work? Tired and lacking energy and drive? Don't worry, you are not alone! Studies in the US show that up to 70 percent of the workforce is unhappy with their job at any given time. We all feel dissatisfied and frustrated with our jobs at times. So, how do you know when the feeling of dissatisfaction and frustration means it is time for a career change? There are a few key signs which point towards a need for change:* feeling overwhelmed by your workload* unable to balance your work and life responsibilities* confused about roles and duties in your job* easily irritated and ready to explode at the slightest provocation about how long it would take. This gave customers psychological control of the “order-to-delivery” process by making it visible: if customers wished, they could see the process and thereby be mentally involved in it every step of the way. This gave them the feeling of control without actually being in control of the process.

There are several ways you can make your sales process visible for your customers and give them the feeling of control that is so important to them.

Provide your customers with a small, concise booklet which gives a thumbnail sketch (maybe even a colorful flowchart) of each of the steps in your sales process. This booklet should also contain an approximate time the entire process should take as well as the value of each step for the customer. If you don’t think through your sales process in these terms from your customers’ point of view, how can you expect them to want to go with you, a stranger, into unfamiliar territory? They will find many ways to resist your efforts to take them “down the road” to the sale.

Hyundai gives its retail sales personnel colorful and graphic-intensive booklets which provide a brief explanation of each of the sales process steps. Customers can quickly read and easily understand the “Big Picture” of what they’re about to go through. They also learn of the sales person’s commitment to developing a long-term relationship with the customer to ensure complete ownership experience satisfaction.

Customers are given a sense of control of the process when they know what all is involved, how long it will take and what value there is for them all along the way.

Use the P.T. Barnum method of communication throughout your sales process: “Tell ‘em what you’re going to tell ‘em; Tell ‘em; then, Tell ‘em what you told ‘em.” When prospects know what to expect, they will be muc

For many years, automobile manufacturers have been conducting ongoing, in-depth research to keep abreast of customer wants, needs and expectations. Hyundai Corporation has determined that there are nine “core values,” or “needs,” that customers want honored every time they interact with the dealership:

1. Need to feel in control.

2. Need to be treated professionally and respectfully.

3. Need for consultative guidance.

4. Need to feel comfortable and confident.

5. Need to feel valued.

6. Need to have an ongoing relationship.

7. Need for quality product.

8. Need for quality, personalized experience.

9. Need for “value added” experience.

These “core values” are not unique to automotive customers. In fact, they are what any retail customer interacting with any business wants, needs and expects.

The first customer “core value” is: “Need to feel in control.” Read it carefully: It says, “need to feel in control” not, “need to be in control.” In the sales process, if you are meeting the prospect for the first time, it is crucial how you greet him/her. Whether or not you get to move closer to the sale depends upon how well you take this initial step.

However, most prospective customers make it difficult for you to take that first step with flair and confidence. Retail shoppers across the country have “loaded their lips” in preparation to fire off the usual response familiar to sales professionals everywhere: “No thanks, I’m just looking.”

It is my belief that the primary reason people respond this way (no matter what question the sales person asks) is because they don’t want to be led into unfamiliar ter
