Selling takes confidence, knowledge, and listening. And it takes putting your customers at ease by showing them that you are completely interested in addressing their needs and concerns. Of course, you want to be sure you are using reliable products that provide a good customer experience and are profitable for you, but first you must get your customer into a good place about the time you will spend together and the money that they will pay you.

At ease sounds good, right? As with so many things, it is easier said than done. So how do you ensure that at ease begins early in the process of working with your customer? Your company culture and selling style is key. The impression you make on them is long lasting right from the first moment they become aware of you. Say they were referred to you.

I recommend that if the technology issue comes up that you find out as much as you can about what home entertainment products they have been using up until this time. This will be a level-setting process for you.

For instance, if they are frequently and successfully recording television shows on their digital set-top box and have their iPod fully loaded and organized in multiple libraries, you know you have someone willing to try something new and who will be ready to learn more. These are good customers to find. They love fun stuff and spend money.

If your customer has a system that is infrequently used and is in a somewhat non-operational state, you have a customer who needs something as plug and play as possible. They have no inclination to learn more than the basics and your job is to sell them awesome products that sound and look great with a nearly foolproof, one-layer system. Dont oversell these people.
