Knowing the major competitors would allow the salesperson to tailor their pitch to highlight the unique selling points and advantages of their product compared to the competition.

    The question "What are your 2 top apparel styles?" would also help determine which Pitch(es) to introduce during an upcoming Sales Call because it would provide insights into the customer's preferences and needs.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    If the customer is requesting a quote, you are most likely in which Opportunity Stage?

    • A.

      Infancy to Developing

    • B.

      Perceived to Implied

    • C.

      Mature

    • D.

      Prospect to Customer

    Correct Answer
    A. Infancy to Developing
    Explanation
    If the customer is requesting a quote, it indicates that they are in the early stages of the buying process and are still exploring their options. Therefore, the most likely Opportunity Stage in this scenario would be "Infancy to Developing." At this stage, the customer is gathering information and considering different options, but they have not yet made a decision or progressed further into the sales process.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Successful "Customer Closes" are dependent on a series of successful "Opportunity Closes". 

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that in order for a customer to make a purchase or close a deal, there must first be a successful opportunity close. This means that the initial step of closing an opportunity or securing a potential sale is crucial in eventually closing a deal with the customer. Without successfully closing the opportunity, it is unlikely that the customer will proceed to make a purchase. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    A "Champion" Customer might forgive an occasional service deficiency?

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A "Champion" Customer is someone who is extremely loyal to a brand and has a strong emotional connection with it. They are likely to have a long-term relationship with the brand and are willing to overlook occasional service deficiencies because of their loyalty. This means that even if there is a minor issue with the service, the Champion Customer is more likely to forgive and continue supporting the brand. Therefore, the statement "A 'Champion' Customer might forgive an occasional service deficiency" is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    How can a salesperson avoid the "Perceived Needs" trap?

      All of the above

    Correct Answer
    B. They should not attempt to predict or assume what the customer needs are.
    Explanation
    To avoid the "Perceived Needs" trap, a salesperson should not try to guess or assume what the customer needs are. Instead, they should focus on analyzing the customer's business thoroughly and providing recommendations on how to improve it. By understanding the customer's specific needs and offering tailored solutions, the salesperson can avoid making assumptions and better meet the customer's expectations.

      Infancy

    • B.

      Developing

    • C.

      Mature

    • D.

      Infancy to Developing

    Correct Answer
    A. Infancy
    Explanation
    A salesperson can improve sales growth the most by spending more time in the Infancy stage. This is because the Infancy stage refers to the early phase of the sales process, where the salesperson identifies potential customers and builds initial relationships. By investing more time in this stage, the salesperson can effectively nurture leads, establish trust, and lay the foundation for future sales success.

    • C.

      Advance the sale toward the close

    • D.

      All of the above

    Correct Answer
    D. All of the above
    Explanation
    A good salesperson uses Impact Questions to uncover explicit needs, convert implied needs to statements of value, and advance the sale toward the close. Impact Questions are designed to have a significant impact on the customer by provoking thought and helping the salesperson understand the customer's needs and motivations. By asking impactful questions, the salesperson can uncover explicit needs, address any implied needs, and demonstrate the value of their product or service. Ultimately, this helps to advance the sale and move closer to closing the deal.

      "Developing" Customers

    • B.

      "Prospect" Customers

    • C.

      "Customer" Customers

    • D.

      "Champion" Customers

    Correct Answer
    B. "Prospect" Customers
    Explanation
    The given description suggests that these customers are not yet fully committed to purchasing from us and we have not yet gained their complete trust. They likely represent a significant portion of the wholesale market and may only buy from us on an as-needed basis. These characteristics align with "Prospect" Customers, who are potential customers that we are still in the process of developing a relationship with.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Check all that apply.  Which question(s) is an example of a "Benefit" Question(s)?

    • A.

      With a less than 1% error rate, would you agree I'm probably the safest supplier for this important order?

    • B.

      Given the timetable you have presented, how detrimental would a delayed shipment be?

    • C.

      What challenges are you dealing with on this order?

    • D.

      I have a solution with a lower total cost, so you'll make more margin. Can we move forward?

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. With a less than 1% error rate, would you agree I'm probably the safest supplier for this important order?
    D. I have a solution with a lower total cost, so you'll make more margin. Can we move forward?
    Explanation
    The first question is an example of a "Benefit" question because it highlights the benefit of having a supplier with a less than 1% error rate, implying that the customer would be safer in choosing this supplier. The second question is not a "Benefit" question as it focuses on the potential negative impact of a delayed shipment, rather than highlighting any specific benefit. The third question is not a "Benefit" question either, as it asks about the challenges the customer is facing rather than presenting any potential benefits. The fourth question is a "Benefit" question because it emphasizes the benefit of a lower total cost and increased margin for the customer.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Check all that apply. A good example of a Closing Question might be?

    • A.

      How important is accurate shipment?

    • B.

      Can I be the primary source on your next order?

    • C.

      What is your preferred supplier doing that I am not?

    • D.

      With a 1% error rate, would you agree that I am the best supplier for this very order?

    Correct Answer
    B. Can I be the primary source on your next order?
    Explanation
    This question is a good example of a closing question because it directly asks for a commitment from the customer. By asking if the salesperson can be the primary source on the customer's next order, it is a clear indication that the salesperson is seeking to establish a long-term partnership with the customer. This question helps to gauge the customer's interest and willingness to continue doing business with the salesperson.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Which type of customer are you most likely to extend commercial support (i.e., credit) to take to the next level

    • A.

      Customer

    • B.

      Prospect

    • C.

      Champion

    • D.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Customer
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Customer" because customers are already established clients who have a history of purchasing products or services from the company. They have proven their reliability and trustworthiness by making regular payments, which makes them the most likely candidates to be extended commercial support or credit. Prospects are potential customers who have shown interest but have not yet made a purchase, while champions are individuals who advocate for the company but may not necessarily be customers themselves. Therefore, the most logical choice for extending commercial support would be existing customers.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    In which Opportunity Stage would this customer request/opportunity be? "I am totally sunk if I do not deliver these goods.  I need to place an order today for 5 oz. black tees!  When can I get them?"  

    • A.

      Infancy

    • B.

      Infancy to Developing

    • C.

      Mature

    • D.

      Developing to Mature

    Correct Answer
    C. Mature
    Explanation
    Based on the given statement, "I am totally sunk if I do not deliver these goods. I need to place an order today for 5 oz. black tees! When can I get them?", it can be inferred that the customer has a clear intention to make a purchase and is in the final stage of the buying process. Therefore, the opportunity stage for this customer request/opportunity would be considered as "Mature".

    • A.

    • C.

      A final quote

    • D.

      All of the Above are possible at this stage

    Correct Answer

    In the "Developing" Opportunity Stage, the customer would be providing a final quote to their end-user. This indicates that the customer has progressed in the sales process and has gathered all the necessary information to provide a final pricing estimate to their potential customer. This quote is likely to include all the details and costs associated with the product or service being offered.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    As a general rule, when times get tough which category of sales tends to suffer the least?

    • A.

      Retail

    • B.

      Teamwear

    • C.

      Exclusive Retail

    • D.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    B. Teamwear
    Explanation
    During tough times, the category of sales that tends to suffer the least is teamwear. This is because teamwear is often associated with sports and athletic activities, which are considered essential by many people even during difficult times. People may still participate in sports and need teamwear for their activities, regardless of the economic situation. On the other hand, retail and exclusive retail may experience a decline in sales as people prioritize their spending and cut back on non-essential purchases.

      Fruit of the Loom

    • B.

      Jerzees

    • C.

      Fashion Forward

    • D.

    Correct Answer
    C. Fashion Forward
    Explanation
    Fashion Forward might be the pitch to use if the customer needs an option for higher margin sales because it implies that the products being sold are trendy and fashionable. This suggests that they may be priced higher and therefore have a higher profit margin. Fruit of the Loom and Jerzees are both well-known brands, but they may not necessarily convey the same sense of fashion and higher margins as Fashion Forward. Therefore, Fashion Forward is the most suitable option for this specific customer need.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False
