TILT Selling to Today's Buyer

In this market, the TILT Sell Process can be your edge over the competition. TILT was designed for the buyer-centric market. It works from the perspective of the consumer in a buying-partnership model. It is based on quickly creating the right relationship and then progressing it to a facilitated buying decision so it is suited to both one-off sales interactions and long-term business relationships. It allows novice salespeople to use quite high level skills quickly and it shows experienced salespeople how to modify their relationship skills to work with the post-internet consumer. The TILT strategies are specific and targeted, but non-manipulative. They want to move to the next step; it is natural and unforced. Rather than being perceived as a salesperson, the TILT practitioner is seen as a trusted buying adviser. TILT is an acronym for the four key steps: 1. Trust – build trust quickly 2. Influence – put yourself in a position of influence 3. Leverage – apply leverage to move the client forward confidently 4. Trigger – identify and apply the factors that will trigger a buying decision
