If you're meeting with clients every day, working tirelessly to sell to acquaintances and even those acquaintances, but aren't seeing any significant results, it's time to examine your "talking"! Sales is ultimately about meeting and conversing with customers, and for a salesperson, the most important skill is "talking."

This is Hwang Hyeon-jin, the sales industry's top-rated instructor who lectures on sales skills more than 400 times a year and is known as the best instructor chosen by salespeople.
In "Sales, Change Your Words," he demonstrates speaking techniques that get customers to open their wallets and make purchases using simple explanations rather than flashy persuasion.

Into the book
Sales pitches that don't lead to results often end up just conveying facts.
On the other hand, sales talk that leads to results is infused with the 'information' that I want to convey to the customer.
Information is something that has value added to the 'facts' as they are.
In sales, the art of conveying facts is not enough.
Because customers obviously want information that goes beyond the facts (the meaning they will get from the facts).
How frustrating it would be to have a customer say, “Oh, that’s pointless,” after talking so much!
The products and services you introduce to your customers already exist, and unless you are a product developer, you cannot change them.
However, this does not mean that the value of the product is completely determined there.
Even for the same product, its value can change depending on the customer who uses it.
Ultimately, the role of a salesperson is to discover the product value that suits the customer and give it meaning.
And how to properly convey that value is the sales technique we really need to know.
--- From "Before You Begin_ Check Your Words"
Insurance company compensation officers were casually using difficult terms that ordinary people would have never heard of before, such as ‘courtesy ride,’ ‘self-reliance law,’ and ‘negligence offset.’
Even for the most knowledgeable person, it is difficult to know all the technical terms related to traffic accidents.
Explaining things to such a person in difficult industry terms only adds to the confusion.
How can you sign an agreement if you still don't understand, no matter how much you hear? Don't assume, "If I know, the other person will know."
It's just an illusion.
"No way. The clients I've met always nod and understand even when I explain things fluently, often using difficult terms." You're thinking that too, but that's a mistake.
So please explain it in a way that is easy to understand.
--- From Chapter 1: Why Didn't That Customer Buy?
When making a purchase, what do customers value most? It's the impact on them.
To be more specific, always think about what you can gain.
Ultimately, the most obvious way to attract customers is to make them have a concrete expectation of what they will get.
The reason sales fail is because you are so focused on the product that you don't offer anything that meets the customer's expectations.
Please, whatever it may be, include specific details in your sales pitch about what the customer can expect.
That's how you can succeed in sales.
--- From “Chapter 2: What to Say_ Listen”
Isn't there an old saying that goes, "See one and know ten."
Want to tell your customers about your fever? Then never tell them everything.
Even if you tell the customer the number of times, they won't remember everything.
Just show me 'one'.
If you can show just one thing properly, customers will realize it and choose you.
A Chinese restaurant called Jjamppong Time opened near my house a while ago.
I saw a banner hanging in front of the store and it said, 'This place makes incredibly good Jjamppong.'
It's a place where people always line up to eat.
I also took my family there and tried it.
It was delicious.
Since they specialize in Jjamppong, I thought only Jjamppong would be delicious, but as expected, the Jjajangmyeon and Tangsuyuk were delicious as well.
What if that banner had said, "We serve all kinds of Chinese food"? Well, the initial marketing might have been a failure.
Of all the Chinese dishes, 'Jjamppong' is the one that has left a strong impression on customers' minds.
"You're good at making Jjamppong, so why can't you make other dishes? I'm sure the other dishes will be delicious too," he said, raising customers' expectations.
--- From “Chapter 3: How to Speak_ Talk”
If you watch home shopping broadcasts, you will usually see that they offer two or three options to customers, such as “Automatic order number 1 is a large capacity of 830 liters, number 2 is an extra large capacity of 910 liters.”
It doesn't suggest just one thing, nor does it suggest twenty-six things.
Why? The truth is, each broadcast has a specific model it focuses on selling.
For example, the comment above is also like that.
We have prepared two options, but in reality, option 1, the large capacity, accounts for more than 90 percent of all orders.
But why bother showing Model 2? If only one model is shown, customers are left with a variety of choices.
'Should I buy it or not, should I buy it tomorrow, should I buy it before the holiday, should I buy a different brand, etc.' However, when two models are exposed, the customer's concern naturally shifts from 'Should I buy it or not?' to 'Which capacity should I buy, large capacity or extra large capacity?'

Publisher's Review
“Sales is not done with ‘feet’ but with ‘words’!”
The unique speaking secrets of sales experts that customers will find on their own!
There is a common misconception about sales.
“Sales is done by walking and doing things.
“If you run until the heels of your shoes wear out, you will succeed.” That is not wrong.
Because the performance of someone who meets ten customers a day will be different from that of someone who meets a hundred customers.
However, this is not suitable for the smart era where customers are more careful than ever in their choices due to easy access to various information.
Even in the midst of an overflow of information, you need a sharp, decisive edge to guide your customers' decisions.
In the end, what matters is not how many times you get up to bat, but how high your batting average is.
The most important thing to increase that batting average is the 'salesman's speech' that gains the customer's understanding and acceptance.
Even amidst the deluge of information, the person who can provide guidance tailored to the customer's preferences is the salesperson, and the most important factor in providing such guidance is speaking effectively to convey product information.
That's the secret to success for sales experts who can turn even just one customer a day into a sale.
Experts are not flashy or loud, but they speak with understanding and explain things accurately, making customers come to them on their own.
If you want to succeed in today's competitive and complex sales world, you must sharpen your 'words' first.
If you can sell 'words', you will definitely succeed!
The ultimate sales communication guide you can use right now!
"Sales, Change Your Words First" is a book that contains everything you need to know about successful sales communication.
Selling goods and services isn't something that can be achieved through simple kindness or relationship building.
We need to properly package and deliver the expertise that suits each product to our customers.
This book offers clear solutions to those who have wondered, "Why don't customers recognize my excellent product or service?" or "How can I communicate this so they recognize its value?", including engaging speech and decision-making expressions.
Additionally, by organizing the voices and know-how from the field gained through working with over 30,000 salespeople every year, it provides speaking tips from sales experts that can be followed and used right away, rather than superficial speaking secrets.
Furthermore, this book provides salespeople who choose it with ideas and inspiration to create their own sales pitch, and serves as a compass to help them reach higher goals.
This book is largely divided into four chapters.
[Chapter 1.
In [Why Didn't That Customer Buy?], we look into why performance didn't improve despite meeting customers every day, studying products, and working hard.
In particular, we will look at examples of bad speech, such as high-minded expressions or overly technical expressions that can close the minds of customers who were once open.
From this point on, the real conversation begins.
[Chapter 2.
From [What to Say_Listen], we will learn how to speak in a way that opens the customer's heart.
In particular, a speaking style is presented that emphasizes the benefits, solutions, peace of mind, and family values that customers will gain through purchase, and increases their expectations.
[Chapter 3.
[How to Talk] is the flower of sales communication, and it unfolds the method of making the product description stick in the customer's mind.
The topics discussed include 'interest-generating speech', 'short-form speech' and 'vivid speech' that help customers visualize the product, 'analogous speech' that facilitates persuasion and rebuttal, and finally, 'contrastive speech' that increases persuasiveness.
[Chapter 4.
In [Emotion], we will learn about the speaking skills that can help hesitant customers make a decision.
In addition, it contains sales closing techniques for each customer type that can sway customers' emotions and make them make a purchase, such as customers who are reluctant, customers who are skeptical, and customers who are anxious and need to double-check.
Additionally, [Industry-specific sales scripts that can be used right away] are included at the end of the book.
In fact, it contains the author's know-how from writing scripts and providing consulting services whenever a famous domestic company launches a new product or service.
Since it's organized by industry and product group, you can immediately find and use the comments that fit your needs.
