Selling Value and Not Solutions with Sara Larsen #358
In this episode we meet Sara Larsen, a tech sales professional from Stockholm who speaks with authority on how it’s the value, not the solution that catches the buyers eye. It is the responsibility of the seller to show how their product or solution fits in the context of the buyers business. Showing the value is the surest path to generating applause at a demonstration. When it comes to B2B sales and selling tech, Sara and Pat babble about the presentation process and the importance of selling value over tech solutions.
Technology of Selling Value
Take collaborative approach when presenting to a group. This provides buyers with a strong sense they are controlling the conversation. In reality, it’s the seller who has set the stage AND in control. They did this by enlarging their credibility to a level where the buyers trust what they hear without needing to see a complete demo with their own eyes. This turns sales demos into a conversation about value. The seller is selling value, not a canned solution.
Take Action
If you’re bored with what you’re selling, you will never be successful. You must love the process, product and clients to truly excel. Find a product that touches your heart. Don’t be that seller who is working at the wrong company. Find a job that fits, today.
