Solution Selling: Start Becoming an Expert

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

Many sales professionals become frustrated because their sales are mixed in this economy.  We often advise them during our Quid Pro Quo Sales Training to become an expert in solution selling.

Why develop the solution selling approach? It accomplishes several things.  (1) you are able to offer a solution to your clients issue and (2) You develop your sales career as your client’s trusted advsior.

You take your product or service and show the real decision maker how it will solve their problems — the solution.  Once you are able to do this several times, the key decision maker will start relying on you more-an-more — their trusted advisor.

Remember, selling is all about relationships.  In order for all of this to come together there has to be a two way street.  Don’t overlook just how important it is to build your relationships.  The person who takes the time and effort usually has the title of trusted advisor.

Don’t Overlook Quid Pro Quo Sales Training

If you overlook sales training you could be making a big mistake.  Quid Pro Quo Sales Training will teach you the methodology of a give and take relationship with your prospects or clients.

It’s the consultative or solution selling approach that teaches you new techniques to help you find and control future business pospects with the bottom-line of increasing your revenues and your company’s revenues.

Strategic and Solution Selling

Are you using strategic selling techniques? Are you using Solution Selling techniques?

If you answered NO, Are your sales falling flat? If so, read on and discover how to implement strategic selling to enhance your career as a sales guru.

First, think about this question:  “True or False – The best way to sell is by educating your client about your products or services?  Most sales professionals answer True to this question.  The idea is if you get out and talk to enough prospects, educate them on your product or service, they will buy.

Strategic selling is about how you control the entire sales cycle by offering a solution.

Quid Pro Quo sales training teaches you how to control the sales cycle as you develop an authentic consultative solution selling approach.   Most people understand the concept but really do not know how to employ the consultative approach to selling.

To begin, you must identify a qualified prospect.  Encourage a respectful give-and-take relationship with your prospect. If you can’t, move on to a different prospect.  Your prospect needs to fit and it really comes down to a give-and-take relationship.

The first part of strategic selling is qualifying your prospect and building the relationship. Take a moment to reflect about winning relationships in your life.  If you have friends who don’t return your phone calls, if they are always asking you to do something or borrowing something from you without offering anything back, after a while you probably start backing away from the relationship, because it was all one-way.

Now think about the relationship you have with a prospect.  Are they all one way?

Become a sales guru, not a product pusher. Learn all you can about strategic selling.

You take on a consultative role of solution selling.

You become a trusted advsior to your client.  Translate your products or services into your prospect’s needs.
