E LNorm?1No Spac.- 1 Heading 1 Heading 2 Title Sttitle Suttle Ern." Emp hasis intense E. Styles SPIN selling nmisi SPIN Selling Situation Your firm offers state-mandated alcohol handler's training for restaurant employees, and you are making a sales call on a manager who has just opened three large restaurants and will be hiring a staff of over seventy-five servers and bartenders. Your training is more comprehensive than that of your competitors because it includes over five hours of training per employee. Many restaurant companies opt to leave the training up to the individual restaurants, which leads to inconsistency and lack of implementation. Companies may not realize how risky this is; the fine for improper implementation is $10,000 per restaurant. Prepare a series of SPIN questions (situation, problem, implication, and need-payoff). Situation Questions-Situation questions deal with the straightforward facts about the buyer's existing situation and provide a starting place for understanding your buyer's needs IF Implication Questions - Asking problem questions helps customers understand their needs, and ultimately it paves the way for you to propose a solution that seems beneficial to your customer Problem Questions Implication questions uncover the effects or consequences of a prospect's problems. These questions are especially effective when your prospect is a decision maker whose success depends on understanding the underlying causes of a problem and its potential long-term consequences Need-Payoff Questions -If you ask your prospect the right need-payoff questions, he will tell you how your solutions can help him; you won't even need to spend much time talking about your product's benefits because your prospect will have already convinced himself that your solution will be valuable to him.
