Sell Value, Not Price!
Don Hutson - Recorded Session
Has this ever happened to you? “Your price is too high.” “Is that your best price?” “What kind of deal can you give me if I buy from you instead of XYZ company?” These are among the most dreaded words a sales person can hear. An average sales person may say: “Is there anything else that may convince you to buy this product?” Some sales people are somewhat successful by using a “planned” script or dialogue, but more often, most stammer, offering a weak response. In either case, they often get the sale at the expense of their margin, or lose it all together. Hopefully, you’ve never lost the sale using an ultimatum like: “That is my best price. Take it or leave it!” More often than not, this sales person will lose the sale altogether forfeiting not only the sale, but future sales by abusing the relationship.

How to Stand Out from the Crowd
Don Hutson - Recorded Session
My favorite question to ask sales professionals and entrepreneurs is “How are your offerings different from and better than those of your competitors?” Anytime I get a response like, “Well... Uh......” I know I am talking to someone in big trouble. The key to gaining market share and prospering in today’s competitive environment is to differentiate yourself, your company, and your offerings as distinctively and creatively as you can. You need to stand out from the crowd! My second favorite question to ask them is “How many of your differentiators represent ways you are personally distinctive and creative in serving your customers and providing them with a solution?”

The great Og Mandino was addressing The National Speakers Association in Phoenix onthis topic years ago. He told the story of the little boy who was so disappointed when he reported to his dad that he could not start a fire on a sunny day with a magnifying glass. His dad said “Come outside with me, Bruce, and let’s see if I can help you.” His dad seized the opportunity to make a life lesson out of this event.
