The Delta Point Reality

Messaging Is The Key

If knowledge is the sales deliverable, then knowledge shared means sales goals achieved. Messaging is the key that opens the customer’s door and allows the sales person to share what they know in order to build relationships with their customers — relationships that will pay dividends for years to come.

Messaging is taking the core knowledge about a product, brand or subject matter and communicating it powerfully. This means choosing the right words — words that will help an audience or customer embrace the message, one that will engender thinking and change behavior. This should be our goal whether we are selling a product or persuading others to adopt our business ideas.

Words Matter!

Mark Twain once noted, “The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter — it’s the difference between lightning and the lightning bug.” When we consistently say the right thing, at the right time, in the right way, we are more persuasive — and we sell more. So what is the right thing? How do we get to the point where our words have the effect we want on a more consistent basis?

Delta Point helps its clients to “say the right thing” by teaching them to:

  • Combine the right intent with the right content
  • Gain their customer’s good will by creating an atmosphere, climate or mood that results in trust
  • Determine what specific combination and sequence of words will change behavior and achieve sales success

Finding and using effective words requires preparation… lots of preparation. The right words require practice. After sessions with Delta Point, your sales people may not create another Gettysburg Address, but they will create powerful and persuasive messages that are more likely to change customer behavior.

Human Foibles

As human beings, we all possess a few foibles—maybe even more than we wish. But one of the biggest ones we all have is our natural inward focus. We tend to think that how we see and interpret the world is the same as how everyone else should—especially if we have a relationship with that person, whether that relationship is business or personal.
