Selling Value To Customers

This custom training session coaches technical sales engineers and managers on selling products based on value rather than features & price. We talk about value to customers, but can’t define or quantify it. In increasing numbers, customers are buying on a "spreadsheet" approach - listing each supplier’s features and price. Salesmen and their companies are being led into a "Feature/Price" trap which seldom addresses the real issues of value. This session turns the spreadsheet into a valuable selling tool.
