3 Smart Sales Tips for JanSan Safety
- Stay current on Trends
Trends, such as increased health and safety, energy and labor savings, and sustainability, have fueled the cleaning industry and will continue to do so for years to come. Manufacturers in the JanSan industry will continue to invest in research and development and product innovation to stay on the cutting-edge.

Find out what’s really important to your customers. Do you really understand your customer’s unique needs? Curiosity is a powerful trait. The most successful businesspeople will tell you that curiosity is one of the best qualities a salesperson can have. Curious salespeople ask probing questions and take a genuine interest in learning about their clients. if you stop selling and start asking, you’ll find out what motivates them to make decisions, and, by listening, you’ve now built a trusting relationship. It’s a win-win-win. - Promote Solutions
How do you add value? Smart distributors understand this key fact – you don’t sell products – you sell solutions. When describing the JanSan products that you sell, be specific about the problems that they solve for your customers in each sector in JanSan – education, government, healthcare, hospitality, food service, commercial and domestic. Sure, you sell disposable latex, nitrile vinyl, and poly gloves, but what do you really sell? Emphasize the solutions your products provide –
- Healthcare: “We help hospitals reduce the spread of infections.”
- Education: “We help schools reduce student absenteeism.”
- Industrial: “We help facilities increase productivity.”
- Foodservice: “We help restaurants reduce cross contamination.”
