By Tibor Shanto – tibor.shanto@sellbetter.ca . Sales people are good at looking for prospects or buyers with “pain” or “needs”, those ready for the seller’s “solution”. I get it, these are more immediate sales, more cooperative buyers even when the motivation is rooted in “pain”, but is that enough. Most groups I work with, when asked, will tell me that to make quota they will have to close business with more than just the “lower hanging fruit” of self-declared buyers with “pains” or “need

Sales, wouldn’t it be great if you could control the: Buying decision making process? Competition? Economy? Decision Maker? Sales goals? Yet reality shows us there is only one thing you can control and that is you. From you, you can control your: Beliefs and attitudes. Actions and behaviors. Results. We cannot control how people react to us. All we can do is control our reaction to other people.

Arguments. Politics. Tension. Your salespeople hate each other. They hate their workplace. They want to see everyone else fail. Perhaps you say to yourself, “Maybe things will get better.” No.

Product Differentiation Strategy. Winning new business can be difficult and frustrating as Buyers are more educated and better informed than ever before. Additionally finding points of differentiation that will justify higher pricing can be crucial, as Buyers compare feature/function and benefits. To compete head to head with your competition is difficult for most sales people, and in most cases drives down pricing, which ultimately limits business growth.

A participant in one of our recent workshops emailed me with a very interesting dilemma. He explained that he was working with a prospect that was “dragging him through the mud.” He’d had a few calls with a few different people who each gave different answers to his questions and appeared to have different priorities. It seemed like they weren’t sure they even wanted to make an internal change, but when asked point-blank they were all very clear that NOT changing was NOT an option.

“Try before you buy” is the new world order. Whether it’s a free month of Netflix, a $0.99 offer from Spotify, or the money back guarantee on P90X, we want/need to prove value before committing our wallets. I spent last weekend at the Portland Farmer’s Market with my family (yes, a stereotypical thing to do in Portland, OR). My wife, who works as a chef, spent 30 minutes picking out peaches.

Kshhhh… Mission Control, Mission Control… This is your sales manager, come in. We have a sales problem. My reps are wasting too much selling time performing non-revenue performing tasks. How can I help them spend more time actually selling? Over. Does this mayday call sound familiar? Unfortunately, too many managers deal with this sales problem on a regular basis.
