Whether you are a marketer, offering services, e-commerce, or anything related, you want your products and services to be sold. It is pure logic. Anyone who has something to offer wants to have the ability to sell it and also make sure that clients are still going to come back to your company. 

However, in a field full of offers and your next competitor on each corner, you need to remain always ready for the next thing, or one step ahead of your competitors. Putting yourself in the customer’s position can also help guide you in the right direction and help you manage your sales. 

And, as you might have already expected, there are some psychological emotions that you need to take into account when starting this process. A common mistake that comes in the process is focusing on the cost and not on the product or the service that you are presenting. 

Even more so, when it comes to sales psychology, studies have demonstrated that when it comes to sales, you need to understand your target customers and their motivation. For your sales to be successful, you need to understand the reasoning and the willpower that drive your customers' decision-making. 

So, we’ve come up with a list of psychological triggers that might help you get more traction in your sales. Just think about it, when you take an action, most of the time you know the why and when. Now, if you can figure out the secret recipes behind your customers' purchases, you are ready to predict what the customers need from you, making everything smoother for everyone. 

1. Meaningful Connection

Meaningful connections will always come first, regardless of your field or activity. We, as humans, are always seeking connections and how and where we can build those connections. So, why would it be different when it comes to sales? 

Just think about creating a relationship based on trust, and next time you are wondering whether or not branding is worth it, just think about how it can create positive connections. And, don’t forget – positive connections make people more open to making a purchase. 

2. FOMO

FOMO, also known as fear of missing out, can always be leveraged when it comes to sales. Recommendations always work best when it comes to sales. Think about your friends, a family member, or someone close to you recommending a product or service; those companies always have you halfway closer than a product that you have never heard about. 

Fear of missing out keeps us engaged and active. We have seen this always play out in sales and marketing, making your possible customers feel as if what is good enough for your acquaintances is also good enough for you.  

3. Present yourself professionally

Your blog or online presence is the way in which you reflect on yourself. It's your reflection of your business, helping you give the right feel to your company. Think about the colors,  fonts, and any other user interface detail; they have the power to send the right message. Only think about a fresh and bio vegetable and fruit market. If you choose colors such as black and dark red, you might not send the right message. 

However, with colors such as green and pastel colors, you will have a more pleasant and playful look. When buying something, we are always looking for the best thing that can be found out there, so make sure that your visuals express the right message to your potential clients. 

4. Influence the way they think about their problem

This might be one of the more difficult tasks a marketer needs to achieve in their psychology of selling in today’s market. However, once you have this figured out, you are ready to sell anything to anyone. This stage focuses on changing how everyone sees your product or service as the answer to their problems

As an example, think about how a marketer might think that the problem with his cold emails is the fact that he is not receiving any responses. However, the problem could also be that their emails have poor deliverability, so they do not get through. Or, the problem could also be the fact that the subject lines are not getting enough attention from their recipients.

So, with this, the problem has turned into a smaller one that can be fixed.

5. Don’t give more, offer less

Too many options can cause more harm than good. We live in an era where we have a second choice everywhere we look, so narrowing down the number of options can be more helpful than exposing an endless number of possibilities. 

If you dig deeper into the situation, most of the time, people know what the theory wants. Yet, if exposed to multiple options and opportunities, they might end up choosing none. So, be careful what you offer your potential clients.
