Recommendation

Sales experts Mike Schultz and John E. Doerr explain how to help prospective customers appreciate your professional insight and see it as an asset that comes with your product or service. Their magic ingredient is “insight selling” – inspiring buyers with new ideas and improving their decision making. Schultz and Doerr provide clear instructions on how salespeople should work with prospects. The authors base their tactical information on extensive research, including interviews with more than 150 corporate buyers and data on “more than 700 B2B purchases.” They explain why salespeople must become important parts of their own value proposition and benefits. This handbook has a user-friendly format, with charts, graphs, lists, tips, chapter summaries and lots of white space that makes it easy to refer back to later. getAbstract recommends this useful standout to salespeople and sales managers.

Take-Aways

  • The commoditization of products and services has radically changed sales.
  • With increased commoditization, buyers are not buying because of differentiated products; they're buying because of the value the sellers themselves bring to the table.
  • Sellers’ ideas influence buyers’ decision making and shape buyers’ agendas for action.
