There is more involved in successful selling than finally getting to that coveted "yes". Credico's approach to sales focuses on the buyer's needs, ensuring a happy customer and even repeat sales
The psychology of decision-making
Why do people say “yes” to a purchase? Is it about having the best product or the lowest price? Not necessarily. In fact, 95 per cent of purchasing decisions are subconscious, according to Harvard Business School professor Gerald Zaltman. Buyers are far more influenced by emotions, trust, and perceived value than they realise.
Emotions play a crucial role in decision-making. A product or service that evokes excitement, relief, or confidence is far more likely to be chosen than one that only appeals to logic.
Trust and credibility are equally important — buyers want to feel reassured that they are making the right choice. Cognitive biases, such as the bandwagon effect (following what others do) and loss aversion (fearing a missed opportunity), significantly shape purchasing behavior.
Credico believes that understanding these psychological drivers can be the difference between a potential customer walking away or committing to a sale. By leveraging this knowledge, businesses can craft more compelling sales strategies that resonate with buyers on a deeper level.
Key factors that influence a buyer’s yes
What makes a buyer move from consideration to commitment? A clear value proposition is essential — buyers need to understand why your product is the best choice. More than just listing features, businesses must emphasise tangible benefits that solve real problems.
Building rapport and trust is key. People buy from those they like and trust. Sales professionals who use active listening and empathy to understand customer needs can create meaningful connections that lead to higher conversions.
Addressing pain points effectively helps prospects see how a product or service fits into their lives. The right timing and a sense of urgency also influence decisions — limited-time offers, or exclusive deals can nudge hesitant buyers into action.
Successful sales teams master these elements to create an environment where saying “yes” feels like the natural and most beneficial choice for the buyer.
