Understanding Each Stage Of Potential Buyer Awareness
The deeper in the awareness stage your prospect is, the less you will need to tell stories to help them relate to and resonate with where they are at and how your product or service can help them. Find products or people that are solution aware, product aware and most likely a fit.
Product aware people may already have a competitor product. So showing them what makes yours unique and different, and the right product fit for them makes sense. Someone that is fully unaware is going to need to hear some stories that can help them relate and see themselves needing the product. This is when they can shift from unaware to problem aware.
Solving Prospect Concerns With Solutions That Meet Their Awareness Needs
If you can solve the problem they recognize they face, similar to the person in example or story you shared with them they can begin to get tuned in to being solution aware. Working together with you to see the solution you have for them that solves the problem.
Solution awareness, Product awareness and Fully Aware prospect stages are where sales can be made. They are closer to the end of the buying journey and they can be more receptive to your sales presentation without having to explain as much as you would with the first 2 levels of prospects in buyer awareness categories Unaware or Problem aware.
