By Misty Tyler


Whether it is for buying a new model or for some emergency reasons, selling the unit that you have real quick is important. But sometimes, because we are too busy thinking about the pricing and who are potential buyers are, we forget the basics on how to make our old units look desirable enough for those who may show some interest.

One common product widely sold out online today are the boats. Families, businessmen and parents who want to avail this vehicle are looking out for the units which they can use for various purposes. Targeting these groups of people when you sell your boat needs more than just capturing their attention. Here are other things you can do to close a deal with a prospect.

Advertise. You have to make the people know about you. And the best way for you to do this is by advertising. You do not need to go for a television ad, though it is an option, to sell. Going online will open you to sites which provide free avenues for you to advertise your product.

Clean up the boat. Cleaning it up requires more than just removing the clatter of personal things you have inside and repainting it. It means doing a full inventory and check up on the boat to make sure that there are no broken parts. This will also include the examination of its engine. Replace what needs to be replaced. Repaint, wax and remove the grease on some parts as needed.

Work with a competent dealer. Advertising is the first step to getting your product to the attention of the buyers. The rest of the work comes after. Selling fast means working full time and you cannot do this if you have a day job that require a lot of your attention as well. Find a broker that is aggressive and have good connection. They can work full time on this.

Be open to sea trials. There are customers who want to do a test drive on the boat beforehand. Be open to this idea and come with him or her during the drive. This is also a good opportunity for you to strike a conversation and talk about the other features of the boat.

Price it right. You do not need to lower down your offer than what you deserve. Go online and check similar boat deals. List down the prices and compare them. This way, you will have an idea on how much is the current market value of your boat. It may be best to price it higher than what you intend it to sell. Most buyers will try to strike a lower deal.

Be honest in answering customer questions. It is natural for buyers to ask questions. One common thing they ask from sellers is the reason for selling it. Be honest and tell them about it.

You are not the only one who is trying to make a sale today. Follow up your ad and see if it is gaining attention. Utilize social media and spread the information. Once you start receiving calls, be sure to schedule these clients for meet up to avoid overlapping.
