What you communicate to your clients says a lot about what kind of salesperson you are. The things you believe your prospective client is going to be interested in, and what you think they’ll find compelling is a window into what they can expect from you—as well as how likely you are to win their business. Higher Ground.

There are four levels of value you can create for your clients. The third level is tangible business results, or the ability to execute what the client believes they need, even though it isn’t really what they need. The fourth level is strategic outcomes, what the client really needs, and it transcends and includes the others.

As important as it is to pursue your dream clients, there is more prospecting you still need to do. Dream Clients.

My response was to develop a nonlinear approach to controlling the process and recognizing the commitments clients need to make and the different conversations that enable them to move forward. The sales process is our best guess at what we need to do throughout the sales conversations we have with our clients and our prospective clients.

It can be frustrating to lose a deal with your dream client , especially to an inferior competitor. You know full well that your client will be disappointed— not least because your client portfolio features plenty of contacts who that same competitor failed to take care of. Time Wounds All Heels. The Recognition of Value.

You have to solve the root causes of your poor sales results if you want them to improve. People in operational roles who are struggling to serve the client pass their challenges to the person most competent to deal with the problem—and the client. No Effective Role Clarity. No Strong Direction. People need to be led.

Both you and your client can listen and speak to each other over the phone. When you send an email, your prospective client can reject your request without you asking again, resolving their concerns, or restating the value you intend to create for them. How much a specific medium appeals to you is not a measure of its effectiveness.

One of the first ways you can fail in sales is not being able to create value for your client. First, if you want a meeting, you have to convey the value you will create during the meeting you are asking your client to grant you. There is no doubt that you work for a great company with great clients and excellent solutions.

In Eat Their Lunch: Winning Customers Away from Your Competition , I wrote about the four levels of value. Instead, the higher levels available to you do more to help your clients and dream clients imagine and bring to life the better results they need. The value of discovery is critical to winning deals.

When clients call to tell a salesperson they chose their competitor, much of the time they point to the fact that their competitor had a lower price , something that is sometimes true and sometimes a nice way of letting the salesperson down without having to spend time answering their questions about what they might have done better.

When this is true, and if it was not lost to a competitor, likely, the prospective client wasn’t compelled to change. The root cause is the client didn’t agree they needed to change. Too much has changed in consultative sales, especially the complex sale. Compelled to Change. No more pushy sales tactics.

These ideas can come from any number of things you encounter in the world, which is why it’s so important to always be digesting books, blogs, videos, and other types of content. All sales pros need fresh material in order to stay relevant and on top of their sales game. This one speaks to the power of positive thinking.

Avoid starting a blog . Blogging is prospecting. A blog is content. Start blogging, really! No info is stupid info when it comes to your client base. Quota is hard enough to make as it is. It takes hard work, focus, and commitment to honing your skills. Only 52% of sales people make quota. Make more calls.
