What is a Sales Script? 

I think we all know the stigma that lies around scripts when it comes to selling. They can sometimes be cheesy or feel like a forced way of pushing sales. However, they don’t have to be like that! There are plenty of ways to develop a script that works for you as the business owner, and your employees. 

Here are some of the ways that a sales script can really help you sell:

Consistency

How often have you heard of people having different experiences with customer service from the same place? Some people get very helpful and responsive help, while others get short or irritated responses. While this does have to do with the individual themselves, a sales script can really help. 

By having a consistent script to follow that prompts employees to provide the same questions to customers, you can ensure that they are all receiving the same effort of help. This can also be a great way to help your employees in moments that they might not be sure of the answer. 

Learning About the Customer

To a business owner, customers are the most important part of what they do. Without them, there isn’t a business to sell. Specific questions can be implemented throughout your script to be asked to each customer to help them solve their problems. 

The customers will be able to see that their unique position or reason for calling will be taken into consideration. It will also allow the business to learn more about the customers shopping there.

What are common problems that customers are experiencing? What are people needing the most?

Other Helpful Tips 

Make sure the customer is being heard - while you might be motivated to push a sale, remember to not overwhelm your script with opportunities to push the same things. It could lead the customer to feeling pushed or frustrated. 

Ask questions that work for you - As we always say, no business is the same or can fit in the same mold! Make sure your questions are coming from a place that will end in the best results for your business and your customers. It will give you the best outcomes. 

Manage and measure  - A sales script that provides the same questions and consistently, can offer as a measuring tool. You can use this as an opportunity to see what your customers are wanting, questioning, and the effectiveness of the script.
