Selling the Proposed Solution (SE006v2)


Description
The 1980s was a simpler time. Hair was big, fashion was colorful, and music was, well, better. And, in the world of sales, a new strategy was emerging: Solution Selling.
It’s pretty simple. A salesperson was on hand to diagnose a prospect’s needs and recommend the right products or services to fulfill those needs. It’s a technique that asks questions and reveals problems that buyers don’t know they have, so you can sell them your solution. Clever, but simple stuff.

Although much has changed since then, interactions with customers haven’t. They still have problems, and you can still resolve those problems with an appropriate product or service. When you know your customer, you can tailor your product toward being the solution to a problem they didn’t even know they had. Result? More sales for you! This course will explain how this simple technique will get you results.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

• Define “solution selling”
• Evaluate the needs of your customers
