There are businesses that consistently outperform their rivals, sell at a higher price, with eyewatering profits, with products or services that, on the surface, appear no different to their rivals. So how do they differentiate and increase perceived value?
If you want to increase your sales, then you must convince the senior decision-makers or influencers of your target prospects that you will deliver what they want to achieve as a result of their purchase. And deliver that better than their current supplier, or any rival supplier, or they can achieve themselves in-house.
Assuming that all three suppliers’ prices are reasonably similar, based purely on the title page or title copy, which of these proposals would you and your CEO be most interested in exploring further? The first... the second... or Jennie’s?
A compelling sales proposal that connects what Jennie is selling to the desired outcomes of her prospective customer.
When you connect what you sell to what a customer wants to achieve as a result of their purchase... you gain a significant advantage over rival suppliers who fail to connect in the same way. Your prospecting approaches become more engaging... sales pitches are more compelling... your face to face selling is more persuasive... and you proposals, bids or quotes convert more often.
Each example in this lesson, and all the others featured in the course, build on how you encourage prospective customers to choose you.
In this lesson we look at why it is essential to connect what you sell to a senior decision maker's desired outcomes. And what usually happens when you fail to connect.
We examine why administrators and functional staff think differently to senior decision makers. And we look at how you structure a sales approach, pitch or written proposal to achieve your highest conversion rate
Senior decision makers are influenced by their strategist, financier and guide roles. Operational and functional staff are mostly influenced by their scrutineer and user roles. Because of these differences, differences you find in almost every b2b sales situation, you face three sales development challenges.
