The Background of Valentines Day

Will You Pass the Flinch Test?

Following a lengthy getting procedure, the time has come to submit pricing. Countless hours are spent formulating a glorious proposal that specifics your comprehensive solution. Proud of one's accomplishment, you present the proposal towards the buyer. Skipping the sections about your company and your solution, she flips correct for the pricing page. Oh my gosh, I didnt believe it will be this high-priced!

What happens next determines whether or not or not you may get the company. When I say get the enterprise, you can find two sides to contemplate. The apparent is whether or not the prospect will award the company to you. The much less apparent is whether or not your business will agree to their desired price level. The negotiation might get to a point where the prospect says they need to award you the company, but at a price tag unacceptable to your firm. If youve ever been there, it's painful to say the least. As a sales person, you have a responsibility to facilitate the method inside a way that results in a mutually acceptable conclusion.

There's a trade secret within the buying planet. They call it the flinch test. This is the test Procurement Agents as well as other professional buyers give to sales men and women once they offer pricing. Wow! You might be 25% larger than your competitors. These pros are trained to react with surprise to ensure that they could see if the sales individual is confident inside the price they have put forward. It really is nothing far more than a simple negotiation tactic. Typically occasions, they overstate the price difference such that you can do some fast math and see that the differential is bogus. I can recall a time exactly where I was told that we were 50% higher than the competitors. When I reviewed the numbers, this meant that the competitor was losing 18% according to fixed fees that we both had. It was extremely unlikely that the competitor was signing up for this sort of an account. When I asked the Procurement Agent about that figure once again, he flinched and we ultimately won the business.

The important to passing the flinch test will be to respond with self-assurance in your price tag. If you dont feel you will be providing a fair, competitive cost for the solution, my question is why are you currently presenting it anyway? A single would hope that you just have integrity so why present something you dont think in?

Some responses that trigger you to fail the flinch test.

What price tag had been you looking for?
I'll ask my manager if we can do better.
How about if I take 10% off?

The explanation they are failed responses is the fact that they generate trust issues with all the prospect. Had been you attempting to rip them off with all the cost you presented? Certainly one of two issues is correct. Either you had been attempting to rip them off or you think you offered a fair value. What other choice is there? Some will say that they had been preparing for a negotiation. That's a fair point; even so, it truly is a terrible negotiation method to provide the appearance that you simply will drop your cost initial moment an individual balks. That approach provides the impression which you sought to gouge them.

Most negotiations end at the middle ground. They wanted 5; you wanted ten and settled at 7.5. That seems logical. Nevertheless, if you lower your price early, the middle ground is lower. Within the same scenario, should you dropped to 8 proper off the bat, the middle becomes 6.5. As I mentioned, you might have to handle the negotiation such that the middle is just not lower than an acceptable price for the company.

Effective sales people have a planned, or dare I say canned, response for the flinch test. They dont anticipate a prospect to respond with excitement about a cost. They anticipate shock and have a procedure to manage it. Listed here are their secrets

1. They set expectations upfront. Early inside the acquiring process, they set the expectation that they may be not the low price provider. To be clear, our organization is hardly ever the low bid, does that imply that we wont be working together on this project? If they say no, you are set for the later phases with the approach. If they say yes, no less than you havent invested a ton of time in an account which you wont win. Should you are going to lose, lose early.

2. They dont flinch! Im not surprised by your reaction. I get that a lot. As I talked about in the outset, we are rarely the low bidder.

3. They seek to understand. When you say that you are shocked by the value, which component is surprising? This really is the subject of yet another article of mine which addresses the importance of understanding the prospect's perspective of value.

4. They reinforce their position. 'since we are hardly ever the low price provider, what do you think our 1000 clientele see that leads them to spend somewhat far more to possess us?

A lot of years ago, I had the opportunity to take part in Procurement Instruction. Consider it as sales training for buyers. After the session, I had an intriguing conversation together with the trainer. Here's what he told me

For 25 years, sales people asked me for coaching on the price tag of their proposal as I was the head of Procurement for my firm. I told every one among them exactly the same thing. Supply us with the very best price tag that you just feel great about giving and either way, you win. I often got a puzzled expression from that. Let me clarify. If we award the business to you at that value, you're pleased. If we award the company to a person else at a lower value, you might be satisfied at the same time due to the fact you wouldnt happen to be satisfied to help the account at that value point.

To share a bit secret, I use the flinch test all of the time when I acquire. It's wonderful how speedily sales folks drop their drawers on price tag. I bet Ive saved my loved ones 20% across the board for all of our spending just with that test. It's no wonder that professional buyers use this. I typically wonder how numerous commission dollars were lost just because they flinched. How might commission dollars have you lost since you flinched?
