Ancient Greek Formula for Persuasion. “Ethos, Pathos, Logos.”

One of the reasons why the Sales Cycle is so long
is because many salespeople, business people, and
executives lack “World Class” persuasive
communication skills.
There are 3 elements of the persuasion process:
Ethos: Credibility: “Does the Buyer Believe You.”
Pathos: “Does the Buyer feel good about You.”
Logos: “Does the Buyer think your solution makes
sense for his/her situation.”
Ethos “Credibility”
Concept # 8: Never Assume the Buyer Believes You.
(Only Tell the buyer as much as he would believe)
Concept # 9: Tell the Truth, even if it hurts.
(Point Out Disadvantages)
Concept # 10: Use Precise Numbers.
Concept # 11: Admit to receiving benefit or Commission.
(Downplay benefits to you)
Concept # 12: Pay attention to your image.
Concept# 13: Confront problems head on.
Concept # 14: Use Testimonials/Case Studies.
Pathos “Emotional Appeal”
Concept# 15: Always Do What You Say
(Trust)
Concept # 16: Show Gratitude.
Concept # 17: Get the other side to speak about
themselves and their challenges and
give sincere compliments.
Concept# 18: Become an Active Listener
(Engage in Dialogue & Push Out Empathy).
Concept# 19: Speak to the Personality Type.
Logos “Does Your Product or Service Make Sense.”
Concept # 20: Dollarize Your Value Proposition:
Your Real product is Money in the
world of B2B. (This is different from
reducing price) This is expressed in
terms of money and time.
Concept# 21: You have 3 Competitors to measure
your proposition against:
a.) The Prospect Himself.
b.) Status Quo
c.) Direct Competitors
(Other Companies)
How it Ties Together:
1. Organized Brand
2. World Class Follow Up
3. Ethos/Pathos/Logos
The ability to implement these components into
action will shorten the B2B Sales Cycle.
