Jiu Jitsu Selling

This first level in Jiu Jitsu Selling is the White Belt level training. In the sport of Jiu Jitsu, the goal of the White Belt is survival: not putting yourself in a bad position, and escaping the bad positions your opponent places you in. We teach no offensive techniques; rather, you will learn how to defend attacks and prevent making the kinds of mistakes that make recovery difficult.

Most lost sales begin breaking down due to the Salesperson having poor communication and initial contact skills. This holds true across all levels of Salespeople. We address these skills, because to ignore them guarantees we lose a certain percentage of sales. This is unacceptable because our behavior is the one thing we absolutely can control.

Something we can't control is that people don't always agree with us, so we teach objection handling at this level too, using the theory of Negative-Neutral-Positive, or NNP. Rather than beat the Prospect in an argument over his objection, NNP guides him down a path where he, of his own accord, decides to correct and refine his opinion on a given subject.

Besides being the ultimate objection handling formula, NNP can be extended to prevent objections from arising, lower sales resistance, and even create sales attraction, which we will see in our subsequent books.

Once you learn this simple two-step process, you will use it for the rest of your life, both socially and in business.
