How can the words that you use affect your customer interactions? A lot! In this bonus episode, Kelsey shares words and phrases you can use (or avoid) to serve your customers best and close that sale. It's a little bit psychology, a lotta bit positivity.

In this third episode of our sales series, we've got our mindset prepped and know our products inside and out.... let's get selling! Kelsey outlines the SPIN (Situation, Problem, Implementation and Need Payoff) process for closing the sale, and how you can use the right questions at the right time to move your customer from "looking" to "purchasing" through easy conversation. 

Just like a boyscout, you gotta be prepared when it comes to making sales. This checklist will put your team in the best position for success. Planning, policy review, prep, product run-throughs and more. Plus Kelsey talks cross-selling, upselling and down-sells.  As always, real life examples and an action task are included! 

In the first of a series all focused on improving sale at your flower shop, Kelsey starts at the foundation of everything. Mindset. 
That and your initial customer interaction will start a "sale" off on the right foot. Kelsey shares her own greeting process and three mindset checks to run through: 

1. I am mentally ready to serve this customer my best
2. I am physically ready to serve this customer my best. 
3. I have gathered information about this customer to serve them best.
