Evidence Manuals
by Michael D. Hargrove
A
couple of the most important elements in selling anything is the ability to
build trust and confidence. The evidence manual is designed to help us do both.
This is accomplished by showing as well as telling our customer the benefits
of doing business with us. It's simply more credible when they are allowed to
read it too! We can use the evidence manual at any time in the transaction but
we'll probably find it most beneficial at the write up stage or anytime we have
to leave our customers alone in our office. Finally, the manual should be designed
in such a way as to build credibility in the following:
Us As A Person
"We can get everything in life we want if we just help enough other people to get what they want.""My rewards in life will always be in exact proportion to my contributions and service to my customers."
"The law of business prevents paying a little and receiving a lot. When you deal with the lowest bidder it is always best to add a little for risk. However, if you can afford to add a little for risk, you can afford to buy the best."
"There is hardly anything in this world some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price only, are this man's lawful prey."
