SHort brochure about CustomerCentric Selling

1. “My reps think selling means discounting
until the prospect say yes.”
TRYING TO BUY BUSINESS?
“We spend too much time selling feature
and function to people who can’t buy, rather
than having meaningful business discussions
with the people that can.”
LOSING SALES PRODUCTIVITY?
“We’re lucky to close 50% of what we
forecast. My people need to learn
how to sell.”
INACCURATE FORECASTS?
“We lose more sales to no decision than
to any single competitor.”
LOW WIN RATES?
“Few of my new hires become top producers.”
INCONSISTENT PERFORMANCE?
Sound all too familiar?
