How to close sales (5 reason people don’t buy)

Have you ever encountered this situation? You put in your effort to promote and explain the benefits of your products and services. You provide an explanation that seems logical and appealing to the customer. However in the end they choose not to make a purchase. It leaves you wondering; What could be the reason, behind their decision? Today we will delve into the five factors that contribute to people not making a purchase.



The First Reason Why People Don't Buy From You Is: No Need or Low Need. 


Despite the quality and greatness of your product or service there's a possibility that the prospect may not require it or may not have a need, for it. So how do you handle situations? Imagine this scenario; you're strolling through a mall heading towards the store you want to visit. Along the way someone, at a booth interrupts you. Offers a sample or asks you to try out a particular cream. It can be quite bothersome when you have no intention of making a purchase. In cases if someone doesn't perceive the need or desire for your product or service there's little you can do to convince them otherwise. It's best to cut your losses and save time by assessing their suitability as customers and moving on. Therefore this lack of need stands as reason number one.


Reason Number Two: No Urgency. 


You know it's crucial to avoid delays when it comes to making a sale. When someone tells you they need time to think about it want information or will get back, to you later they lack a sense of urgency. They don't see why they should make the purchase right away. Perhaps you haven't provided them with a reason to act immediately. The truth is, tomorrow never really arrives. What you can't close today won't be closed tomorrow either. Although people may be polite and tell you to follow up with them in three months or that they'll get back, to you the reality is that you'll likely never hear from them again in those cases. Delay truly hampers sales. So what can you do? You need to demonstrate and show them why they should take action now. It could be because of an offer or limited quantity available. Once they're gone there won't be any more left for purchase. Alternatively it could be due, to time availability.


Hey just so you know this offer is only valid, for a time. We all need a nudge sometimes to take action right?


Reason Number Three Why People Don't Buy Is: No Desire. 


You know people tend to purchase things based on their wants rather than their needs. They desire a car, a house, a new suit or even something simple, such as a bed. Like my wife Jenny shes always eyeing a pair of shoes or dreaming of going on vacation. It's not necessarily about what they need in life. We often find ourselves thinking about things we don't really require. That new Table? You don't actually need them; it's just the desire to speak. How can you create that desire? How can you make people crave what you have to offer? Well the key lies in presenting an offer that's both captivating and compelling to your potential customers. Once they see it it becomes a no brainer for them to say "I want this!". By creating that desire from scratch or tapping into their existing desires you can make your product or service incredibly appealing and irresistible to them. You see human desires are not as complicated as they may seem; we all have many desires within us. And that brings us to reason number three, without desire there won't be any sales.


Reason Number Four Why People Don't Buy: No Money. 


This is probably the situation. Either people don't have money. They don't have a budget at the moment to afford what you're offering. If you're actually selling to individuals who can't afford your product or service it raises the question; why are you targeting those who're unable to afford it in the first place? However lets assume they do have the funds or can somehow manage to find them. In some cases their response usually indicates a lack of perceived value. Essentially they're saying, "I can't justify spending this much on something, like this." As closers we haven't effectively presented our offer in a way that demonstrates its worth in both value. It's important to understand that people evaluate things based on a scale of value versus money. Which one carries weight? When theres value for an amount of money spent, there. Urgency, for what we offer increases significantly.


One of the reasons why people choose not to make a purchase is because they lack the funds.


Reason Number Five Why People Don't Buy From You Because Of: No Trust. 


They have doubts, about you lack confidence in your abilities and are skeptical of your products and services. They also harbor mistrust towards your company. So how should you address this? There are approaches you can take. For instance you can provide them with proof by sharing testimonials from satisfied customers who have experienced positive results with your offerings. You can also emphasize the history of your company demonstrating the length of time you have been operating successfully. Additionally if you are selling health and fitness products or services it would be beneficial, to present evidence or case studies to support their efficacy. It's crucial for them to trust you in order for them to make a purchase. Trust is paramount here. However there is another aspect that many entrepreneurs and salespeople often overlook; self trust. Yes they may trust your product and company. They may not believe that it will work for them personally or that they would even utilize it themselves.


I'm considering purchasing another product. I'll probably just end up putting it on a shelf without actually using it. I worry that it will be a waste of money. What will make this time any different? It's important for you to address that concern. It's not, about trusting in your company and brand but, about customers trusting in themselves. Many individuals believe it. Not lack trust, in themselves due to their experiences. For instance lets consider a scenario where you're promoting a weight loss solution.


Here's another common situation; people often mention that they have tried diets and attempted weight loss methods in the past. They might express doubt by saying, "Oh my god this time it will fail too. How can I be sure it will work?" Even if they trust you and acknowledge the testimonials and evidence you provide they may still struggle to trust themselves. They might think, "I won't be able to stick to this plan. I've already taken a look at my track record of failed attempts. What makes this one different?" Therefore when marketing your brand or conveying your message it's crucial to address these concerns.


Take some time to consider why people might hesitate to make a purchase; lack of necessity leads to no sale; absence of urgency results in no sale; absence of desire results, in no sale; insufficient funds lead to no sale; and finally lack of trust leads to no sale. Reflect on your sales approach and marketing strategies. How can you build trust within the marketplace?


How can you ensure that you effectively convey and express the worth of what you have to offer so that people can recognize its value and be convinced to make a purchase? How do you go about communicating? How can you develop an offer that's so compelling that people are drawn to what you're selling? How can you create a sense of urgency that encourages them to make a purchase instead of delaying it? Moreover how can you address the issues they face and provide them with the solutions they require? This is how you effectively handle objections. Reflect on the five reasons why individuals may choose not to make a purchase.
