Now that we have found our prospects we have to know how to reach them so that they will invest in the goods and services that we offer and we will be able to have a more successful home based business..

Be Likeable. No one likes to deal with a person if they are not likeable. If the person that contacted you was rude and inconsiderate, would you be in this business today?

In order to make sure you are the right fit for their needs you have to know what their needs are. Make it a part of your sales personal improvement plan to ask questions. That is the only way you will find out anything. What problem do they have in their life that they want to solve? Do you have the solution that they want at the time?  Are they willing to try something different to see if that works for them?  If they are not, then you have to move on to someone else, but if they are you may have a new customer.

Be honest with the prospect. Instead of being greedy and pushing the sale anyway make sure they are a fit for your company and if they are not then let them know that you think this is not right for them at this time. They will thank you for your honesty and whenever they meet other people that may fit your company better they will refer them to you.

Listen and don’t interrupt. That is the key to solving other people’s problems. You must listen to them completely and not interrupt them as they are telling you their problems. If you are a person that keeps interrupting them, they will get the impression that you don’t care about them and they will find someone else to solve their problem.

After your prospect tells you their problem you turn right around and tell them the same thing that they just told you. This sounds stupid but you need to know you understand the problem before you can be sure if you can solve it. Fully understanding the problem will lead to a better solution and a better business relationship between you and the prospect.

Make regular check-ins with the prospect to see if they have any new problems or to see if they need and products that they are using to get rid of the old problem. This is your way to make sure the customer gets the benefits they want and shows that you are concerned about them and their success with your product. With the prospect happy, you will be the proud owner of a successful at-home business.
