The first most powerful word in sales psychology is “free.” The word attracts attention like a bright yellow flower attracts bees. People have been known to trample each other to get at a “free” offer. Free works. I don’t care how rich a person is. Everyone likes something for nothing.
The second most powerful word in sales psychology is “you.” You see, it’s all about the person you are trying to persuade. Nothing else matters. Think about how can what you offer benefit your customer. And when you communicate your value to your customer, frame the conversation around the word “you.” Not “I” or “me”, but “you.”
Think of it this way, when you look at a group portrait that you are in, who is the first person that you look for in the picture? Of course, you look for you.
Now that we have one and two out of the way, the third most powerful word in sales is. . . We’ll cover that next time.
