Recommendation

Do you enthusiastically look forward to having someone stop by to sell you something? Probably not. But how do you feel when a trusted adviser comes in to help enhance your strategy? You’re grateful for the counselor’s time and valuable advice. If you want the welcome mat to be out when you call, heed sales expert Marc Miller, who shows salespeople how to change their image from product hustlers to strategic consultants. Even if some of its strategies seem hard to achieve, getAbstract believes that this book is useful for salespeople who handle big-ticket products and services with extended “sales cycles,” those who sell entirely new products or methods, or those selling commodities who need to shift customers’ concerns from price to value.

Take-Aways

  • Selling will soon be obsolete, due to other more innovative and efficient purchasing options, including Internet marketing.
  • Executives don’t want to spend time with salespeople, but they welcome visits from trusted strategic advisers. Earn entry and generate demand for your offering.
  • Customers don’t care about your big-ticket products. They care about value.

    This is another approach to move from a product transaction seller to a solutions trusted advisor. This is no longer the trend but the industry norm. Although this process is good there are others out there that maybe a better fit for your industry or role. I like the Challenger Sale
