2、 a single syllable, the dreaded “no” saps confidence and shatters egos. But it shouldnt, particularly not if youre in sales. He says if you cant handle rejection, youre in the wrong business.罗伯特赫贾维奇将上门推销比作邀请别人约会。对于许多销售人员而言，尤其是新手，一旦对失败的恐惧占据上风，销售必然以失败告终。“不”这个令人畏惧的单音节词，会打垮一个人的自信，粉碎一个人的自尊。但我们不应该被别人的拒绝击败
3、，尤其是销售从业者。他认为，如果你无法应对拒绝，那只能证明你选错了职业。“Being overly sensitive to rejection can become a destructive virus, ” Herjavec writes in his book The Will to Win: Leading, Competing, Succeeding (HarperCollins Canada, 2013). To bounce back from a missed sale, he says you have to shake it off, say “Next!” and st
4、eamroll on to the next opportunity.赫贾维奇在赢的意志：领先，竞争，成功（The Will to Win: Leading, Competing, Succeeding，加拿大哈珀柯林斯出版集团（HarperCollins）出版，2013年）一书中写道：“对拒绝太过敏感，会变成一种毁灭性的病毒。”他表示，为了从失败中振作起来，你必须甩掉它，对自己说“下一个！”，然后继续斗志昂扬地为下一个机会而努力。Herjavec launched his Toronto-based Internet security startup, The Herjavec Group,

Almost 11 years later, the firm is now one of the countrys leading IT security providers, 275 workers strong and on track to rack up $200 million in sales before years end.赫贾维奇最初在多伦多创建互联网安全初创公司赫贾维奇集团（The Herjav

7、奇亲眼目睹销售人员犯下种种错误，而对拒绝的过度敏感，远远算不上是最严重的问题。Heres his view of the top five sales mistakes and his advice on how to avoid them:以下是他提出的五大销售错误，以及如何避免这些错误的建议：1. Not tailoring your sales pitch to your audience.1. 没有针对受众量身设计销售说辞。Delivering the wrong message to the right customer, or the right message to the wr
8、ong customer is a problem thats rife in sales today, Herjavec says. “People fail to customize their sales pitch to the customer and then they wonder why they lose the sale, ” he says. “Your Goal No. 1 should be making sure your message fits the right audience. If Im selling to a CEO, I have a differ
9、ent message than if Im selling to a director.”赫贾维奇表示，向正确的客户传达错误信息，或者将正确的信息传达给错误的客户，是如今销售界普遍存在的问题。他说道：“销售人员并没有根据客户量身设计销售说辞，以至于最后都不知道自己为什么会失败。你的首要目标，应该是保证自己要传达的信息，适合正确的受众。比如在向CEO销售与向董事销售时，需要传达的信息肯定有所不同。”To optimize your chances of sealing a deal, Herjavec suggests you research and understand your cust
10、omers specific needs and pleasure points (not pain points because “Misery isnt fun, whether its yours or someone elses.”), then personalize your pitch accordingly.要提高交易成功的机会，赫贾维奇建议，销售人员需要对客户的具体需求和快乐点（而不是痛苦点，因为“痛苦并不好玩，不论是你自己的还是别人的痛苦”）进行一番调研，然后对症下药，对你的销售说辞进行个性化设计。“There needs to be a clearly defined n
11、eed identified before you even think about going in there to sell.”“甚至在你还没有打算去某个地方推销之前，你就必须确定那里存在一种明确界定的需求。”2. Selling to someone who isnt a decision maker.2. 向非决策者者推销Dont waste your time pitching to a customer who doesnt wield buying power. Instead, thoroughly qualify the person youre selling to in
12、 advance, Herjavec advises, before you smile and dial.不要浪费时间，去游说没有购买权力的客户。相反，赫贾维奇建议，在微笑着按门铃之前，应该提前核对等会开门那个人是否拥有购买决策权。“Generally, its best to book a sales meeting with someone as high up the decision-making chain as possible, ” he writes in The Will To Win. If you dont, he warns, youll likely have to
13、 schedule a do-over call with your initial contacts superior. And, going above his or her head “can create ill feelings that may jeopardize a good future working relationship.” So do your due diligence ahead of time and remember, it doesnt take much for a sale to go sour.他在赢的意志一书中写道：“一般而言，最好的做法是与决策层
14、的某个人预约一次销售会议，对方的职位越高越好。”他警告说，如果不行，你就必须得重新拜访最初联系人的上司。此外，越级联系“或许会让对方反感，进而有可能危及未来你们之间良好的合作关系。”所以，要提前进行尽职调查，并要记住，一点小疏漏便可能让销售泡汤。3. Talking more than listening.3. 说得太多，听得太少。“Every sales meeting has a natural dance to it, a cadence” Herjavec says. “To understand which way its going and what youre trying to
15、 get out of it requires listening more than talking.”赫贾维奇说道：“每次推销会议都要遵循一定的自然节奏。而要弄清楚会议的方向以及你能从会议中得到什么，需要多倾听，而不是侃侃而谈。”Pipe down, open your ears and keep your eyes on your goal. Herjavec says it should be to build trust and respect for yourself, your company and, ultimately, in the must-have value of
16、the products or services youre selling. Not to hear yourself talk or pump up your own ego. You never want to be that sales guy.安静下来，张开耳朵去倾听，始终关注你的目标。赫贾维奇说道，会谈的过程应该是使对方建立起对你和你的公司的信任与尊重，最终相信你所推销的产品或服务的价值，而不是对方听你滔滔不绝地讲述自己的想法。你绝对不能成为那样的推销员。When you do speak, choose your words wisely. “Every word spoken to a prospect should be designed to strengthen the relations
