Understanding Why
Buyers Buy
“All men seek a goal—success or happiness. The
only way to achieve true success is to express
yourself completely in service to society. First, have
a definite, clear, practical idea—a goal, an objective.
Second, seek the necessary means to achieve your
ends—wisdom, money, materials and methods.
Third, adjust all your means to that end.”
Aristotle

Selling to Prospects’
Needs and Wants
The goal is to reach a common
understanding between buyer and seller
 How much alike are we?
 Do we share any background experiences?
 Are our language skills, attitudes, and beliefs
similar or dissimilar?
 What assumptions have we made about each
other based on stereotypes?

“All behavior is caused—goal directed, and a
salesperson is in some way satisfying some need at
some level…man only acts when moved through
Fear, Hope, Love or Greed. Human beings are
basically emoting creatures. Emotions arouse,
sustain and direct behavior.”

Selling From The
Customer’s Perspective
Three conditions constitute a quality buying
experience:
1. Customers believe that salespeople’s assessments
of their needs and expectations are good
2. Customers experience fulfillment of these needs
on a long-term basis due to the salespeople and
the sales support team
3. When customer needs change suddenly,
salespeople respond by making every effort to
meet new needs
Salespeople must genuinely
believe that their product really
will help the other party
