Our recent blog post, "How to Boost Sales Results with Business Value Conversations" includes some telling statistics about achieving sales success by presenting and discussing your solution’s value proposition with your customers. More importantly though, how do you define the value your organization can expect to receive from adopting a value selling approach?
We have an easy way for you to figure it out. Make value tangible by test driving our value selling tools. This hands-on approach will help you appreciate how these types of tools can streamline your sales process, improve customer satisfaction, and of course, increase sales to new and existing customers.
Can You Benefit From Value Selling Tools?
Every product has its own unique value that is best communicated to buyers in specific terms, at specific points in the sales cycle. Let’s quickly review the high-level benefits provided by value selling tools. Then you can determine how you might incorporate them into your processes for maximum impact.
-
Increased Lead Conversion Rates
Value selling tools help you strategically engage with customers throughout the buying process, and provide persuasive insights that nurture their interest. What opportunities for ongoing conversation and collaboration can you create to turn more inquiries into leads? -
Higher Average Selling Price
An ROI tool reduces the likelihood of negotiating based on price by quantifying the value and ROI delivered by your solution. Instead of discounting your market price, sales reps can eliminate options that have less value to the customer to arrive at a desirable price for both buyer and seller. Are your reps offering discounts just to make the sale? How can you help them shift the conversation from cost to value?
-
Higher Close Ratio
The ability to meet sales quotas often hinges on how well reps can quantify business value. By presenting a clear and concise business case, reps can help buyers gain budget approval and persuade decision makers to move forward with the project. How well are you providing this vital information, if at all? Do your reps provide the financial justification for your solution every time they send out a proposal?
- Shorter Sales Cycle
B2B selling often requires a lengthy, consultative approach that demands continued conversation and justification. Value selling tools provide this justification quickly, easily, and on demand. And by shortening the sales cycle, you can focus on more deals to grow more revenue. Where does your sales process get bogged down? Would accurately calculating the value of your solution accelerate decision-making?
- Urgent Decision Making
Dawdling customers can be incredibly frustrating, especially when months of conversations result in a “not now” decision. Value tools can calculate the considerable cost of indecision. How can you persuade customers sitting on the fence that it’s more cost effective to fix their problem with your solution? What’s your current approach to creating a sense of urgency to move forward?
