    Engaging the entire group of friends is a good way to multiply your sale.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Interact with the group and involve everyone in your pitch. Sometimes, the customer might not be as supportive of the idea, but their friends might help to persuade them to donate.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Which one of these is a yes-yes customer?

    • “I am not donating anything. Try someone else.”

    • “Yes what are you selling? I don’t usually donate cash. What do you want?”

    • “You’re from SMU, right? Yes I heard about SMU students doing this before”

    Correct Answer
    A. “You’re from SMU, right? Yes I heard about SMU students doing this before”
    Explanation
    1 - no-no customer. 'Let go' these people because attempting to persuade them is a waste of time.
    2 - yes-no customer. Figure out what are their concerns and address these concerns professionally.
    3 - yes-yes customer. Spend more time around them for positive energy. Generally receptive.

    Rate this question:

    • Accept, Remind, Talk

    • Acknowledge, Relate, Turnaround

    Correct Answer
    A. Acknowledge, Relate, Turnaround

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    F.R.I stands for “Fact”, “Research” and “Information”. Logic is the most effective tool to persuade donors.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    We do not lecture people on the subject matter. Though facts are important, It is more important to relate it back to the donors.

    • Impulse Factors

    • Golden Rule of Sales

    • Maximizing Your Territory

    • The Law Of Averages

    Correct Answer
    A. The Law Of Averages
    Explanation
    Law Of Averages (LOA)
    - Sales is all about the numbers.
    - Focus on reaching out to as many people as you can and not let yourself get discouraged!

    Impulse Factors - Make the customer make decision to buy or donate on the spot
    Golden Rules - Have integrity and provide excellent service as a representative of Lions Home
    Maximizing Territory - Catch lunch/break/inter-lesson time crowds and use location to your advantage

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Which one of these is an example of a Trial close?

    • "I believe you'd like a size S?"

    • "I believe a small contribution won't hurt your lifestyle, right?"

    • So... *gesture to T-shirt A, then T-shirt B* ?

    • "Well, I suppose it's your choice. Today's the last day that we'll be here "

    • "So would you go for the highest plan or something more average?"

    Correct Answer
    A. "I believe a small contribution won't hurt your lifestyle, right?"
    Explanation
    Trial closes, also known as mid-closes, are used in the middle of your pitch for the purpose of testing buying signals and interest. Sometimes customer isn't really listening. Also to reduce chances of flat out rejection during the later close.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    In your closing, which of the following questions should be avoided? (You may tick multiple options.)

    • Do you want to buy a T-shirt?

    • Is it ok if I get you a size S?

    • Would you like to donate?

    • I believe you'd go for a size S?

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Do you want to buy a T-shirt?
    A. Is it ok if I get you a size S?
    A. Would you like to donate?
    Explanation
    Never ask closed Yes/No questions. Always positively assume. Take control of the conversation and naturally lead the customer to buy on impulse. 'I believe' is a magic phrase to get the donor to agree. Nod your head while asking yes-yes questions.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Which of these is not a GIFTS impulse factor?

    • Generosity / Guilt / Greed

    • Indifference

    • Fear of Loss

    • The Jones Theory

    • Sense Of Fear

    • Sense Of Urgency

    Correct Answer
    A. Sense Of Fear
    Explanation
    Sense of Fear is not an impulse factor.

    Apply these impulse factors to make the customer make decisions on the spot rather than putting it off until tomorrow, or another day. Use them to raise the customer's level of interest.

    Additional note : Greed is more relevant to commercial items, such as our T-shirts. Focus on how much the customer can save rather than how much the thing costs. Generosity/Guilt appeals more to our charitable cause.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Which one of the following is false for writing receipts?

    • Spell out “Ten dollars only” instead of writing it out as “$10” at the the column “The sum of dollars”.

    • I should sign at the bottom right of the receipt after issuing it.

    • Donations to Lions Befriender does not need to be included in the receipt

    • I should write the date in form DD/M/YY. I.e 12/3/14 or 13/3/14

    Correct Answer
    A. I should sign at the bottom right of the receipt after issuing it.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "I should sign at the bottom right of the receipt after issuing it." This statement is false because the correct practice is to sign at the bottom left of the receipt after issuing it.
