So when it comes to figuring out what a customer's needs and wants are,
00:05 - 00:08
my personal approach is really to always
00:08 - 00:12
start by researching more about the customer.
00:12 - 00:15
What does their websites say? Do they have any digital retail capabilities?
00:15 - 00:18
What does their Google my business page look like?
00:18 - 00:21
Do they advertise elsewhere in the market?
00:21 - 00:25
Um, you know, what kind of messages are they relaying through their social media?
00:25 - 00:27
Do they even have social media
00:28 - 00:31
at times even using social media to track
00:31 - 00:34
down the decision maker and finding some common
00:34 - 00:37
interest to actually bring up in conversation just
00:37 - 00:39
to help make things a little bit more
00:40 - 00:42
of a warmer conversation?
00:43 - 00:44
But, you know,
00:44 - 00:47
by knowing as much as I possibly can about a
00:47 - 00:50
business and the people involved before I even walk,
00:50 - 00:53
walk in the door or pick up the phone,
00:53 - 00:57
I get to show up and start asking questions
00:57 - 00:59
about things that I couldn't find
00:59 - 01:00
about them online.
01:01 - 01:04
And that's kind of the important piece of this,
01:04 - 01:08
because I don't really think that people know what they
01:08 - 01:12
need or what they want In a lot of circumstances.
01:12 - 01:13
Um,
01:14 - 01:17
I actually think Steve Jobs was the one who sort of coined the
01:17 - 01:22
phrase that people don't know what they want until you show them.
01:22 - 01:23
And I
01:24 - 01:27
sort of have a very similar lens and thinking to that,
01:28 - 01:33
the point being that when I begin asking questions
01:33 - 01:37
about somebody's business that they haven't even asked themselves
01:38 - 01:41
either in a long time or maybe ever.
01:41 - 01:44
I start establishing myself as somebody who
01:44 - 01:47
was thinking about them and their success
01:47 - 01:50
and based on the answers they give or
01:50 - 01:52
the things that they point more interest towards.
01:52 - 01:54
I pivot more questions
01:55 - 01:57
and try to help uncover problems,
01:58 - 02:00
sometimes problems that they're not even really aware of.
02:01 - 02:01
Um,
02:03 - 02:04
but that's when I get to take
02:05 - 02:06
the opportunity
02:07 - 02:10
to offer ideas and solutions to help them
02:10 - 02:13
overcome those problems and meet their needs.
02:14 - 02:14
But
02:15 - 02:16
to get to that
02:16 - 02:20
get to that spot, it really all comes down
02:20 - 02:23
to uncovering as much as you possibly can
02:25 - 02:26
before you show up,
02:27 - 02:33
so that you can really ask the deeper questions about somebody's business.
02:33 - 02:35
That's how you uncover somebody's
02:36 - 02:36
need
02:37 - 02:41
and help them figure out something that they may want,
02:41 - 02:45
even though it's not something that they've ever seen before.
