| THE SALES HUNTER JULY 12, 2012 Selling Benefits and Not Features: Why is This So Hard to Do? One of the best examples I’ve found when trying to see the difference between product features and customer benefits is to think of it in terms of music.

For too many, sales people provide a price, and maybe a list of features and benefits that might be translated to business value–but we encumber the customer with the job of justifying the solution themselves. To develop a great business justification, we have to really understand what our products actually do–not how they work, not all the features and benefits, but how they help improve customer results. A critical element of any high impact sales process is “creating business justified solutions.” In some ways, this is not just a customer issue.
