Sales Differentiation: 19 Powerful Strategies to Win More Deals at the Prices You Want
by Lee B. Salz"If we don't drop our price, we will lose the deal." That's the desperate cry from salespeople as they try to win deals in competitive marketplaces. While the easy answer is to lower the price, the company sacrifices margin--oftentimes unnecessarily.To win deals at the prices you want,the strategy needed is differentiation. Most executives think marketing is the sole source of differentiation. But what about the sales function of the company? This commonly neglected differentiation opportunity provides a multitude of ways to stand out from the competition. This groundbreaking book teaches you how to develop those strategies.In Sales Differentiation, sales management strategist, Lee B. Salz presents nineteen easy-to-implement concepts to help salespeople win deals while protecting margins. These concepts apply to any salesperson in any industry and are based on the foundation that "how you sell, not just what you sell, differentiates you." The strategies are presented in easy-to-understand stories and can quickly be put into practice. Divided into two sections, the "what you sell" chapters help salespeople:Recognize that the expression "we are the best" causes differentiation to backfire.Avoid the introspective question that frustrates salespeople and ask the right question to fire them up.Understand what their true differentiators are and how to effectively position them with buyers.Find differentiators in every nook and cranny of the company using the six components of the "Sales Differentiation Universe."Create strategies to position differentiators so buyers see value in them.The "how you sell" section teaches salespeople how to provide meaningful value to buyers and differentiate themselves in every stage of the sales process. This section helps salespeople:Develop strategies to engage buyers and turn buyer objections into sales differentiation opportunities.Shape buyer decision criteria around differentiators.Turn a commoditized Request for Proposal (RFP) process into a differentiation opportunity. Use a buyer request for references as a way to stand out from the competition.Leverage the irrefutable, most powerful differentiator...themselves.Whether you've been selling for twenty years or are new to sales, the tools you learn in Sales Differentiation will help you knock-out the competition, build profitable new relationships, and win deals at the prices you want.
Sales Dogs
by Blair SingerThe number one skill for any entrepreneur or business owner is the ability to sell. Why? Because sales = income. Yet, many fail financially not because they do not have great ideas or even good work ethic, but typically because they don't know how to, refuse to, are afraid to, or don't think it is important to know how to sell. SalesDogs was written as the very first of the Rich Dad Poor Dad "how-to" Advisory series to teach in a very fun and impactful way how to overcome the fears, the myths and the obstacles to selling your products, services or yourself. It then teaches a simple, time-proven process of selling that will generate great income in most any business. The reader will learn the five most important selling skills to master, how to overcome any objection, manage a territory and much more.The book quickly de-bunks the idea that you have to be an overly aggressive "attack dog" to be successful. It uses the metaphor of "man's best friend" to say that a great sales person is like a loyal, persistent and lovable canine. It stipulates that there are five different "breeds" or personalities of SalesDogs that can each make a lot of money by playing to its strength. You will learn how to identify, maximize and train to that strength and also how to teach others on your team to do the same.While the book is fun and engaging, it also dives deep into the personal development issues that block a person's ability to generate income and how to overcome them. The book is perfect for first time salespeople, individuals who are uncomfortable with the notion of "selling", those who need to train others to sell and those who want to simply get better quicker.

Sales Enablement als Fundament des Vertriebserfolgs: Innovative Ansätze aus Theorie und Praxis zur Gestaltung erfolgreicher Kundenbeziehungen (FOM-Edition)
by Christian Schmitz Jörg Westphal Jobst GörneKomplexität und Geschwindigkeit in den Kundenbeziehungen stellen große Herausforderungen an Vertriebsorganisationen. Ein Schwerpunkt der Vertriebsforschung liegt daher bisher auf den Konzepten und Werkzeugen für das "Front End", d.h. diese Kundenbeziehungen z. B. durch professionelles Verhandlungsmanagement, oder durch neue Vertriebskonzepte wie Challenger Sales erfolgreich gestaltet werden. Vernachlässigt wurde aber die Frage, welche Enabler im Hinblick auf Technologie, Inhalte oder auch für die Vertriebsmitarbeiter selbst geschaffen werden müssen, damit diese erfolgreich am Front-end wirken können (Peterson und Dover 2020, Rangarajan 2020).Dies ist die Domäne des Sales Enablement. Empirische Studien (CSO Insights 2016, 2018) zeigen, dass Unternehmen einen besseren Verkaufserfolg erzielen, wenn sie Sales Enablement Programme einsetzen. Noch ist die Industrie weit davon entfernt, Sales Enablement flächendeckend einzusetzen, offenbar zeigen nur 60% aller Unternehmen Interesse an einem solchen Ansatz, aber die Zahl steigt. "Sales Enablement als Fundament des Vertriebserfolgs" hat nun das Ziel, aktuelle Erkenntnisse aus der Forschung und Unternehmenspraxis aufzuzeigen, die dem Anspruch an ein Best Practice Sales Enablement gerecht werden, aber auch Impulse für weitere Forschung in diesem noch jungen Themenfeld zu geben. Damit leistet dieses Buch einen wichtigen Beitrag für die angewandte Vertriebsforschung und die praktische Gestaltung erfolgreicher Kundenbeziehungen.

Sales EQ: How Ultra High Performers Leverage Sales-Specific Emotional Intelligence to Close the Complex Deal
by Jeb BlountThe New Psychology of Selling The sales profession is in the midst of a perfect storm. Buyers have more power—more information, more at stake, and more control over the sales process—than any time in history. Technology is bringing disruptive change at an ever-increasing pace, creating fear and uncertainty that leaves buyers clinging to the status quo. Deteriorating attention spans have made it difficult to get buyers to sit still long enough to “challenge,” “teach,” “help,” give “insight,” or sell “value.” And a relentless onslaught of “me-too” competitors have made differentiating on the attributes of products, services, or even price more difficult than ever. Legions of salespeople and their leaders are coming face to face with a cold hard truth: what once gave salespeople a competitive edge—controlling the sales process, command of product knowledge, an arsenal of technology, and a great pitch—are no longer guarantees of success. Yet this is where the vast majority of the roughly $20 billion spent each year on sales training goes. It’s no wonder many companies are seeing 50 percent or more of their salespeople miss quota. Yet, in this new paradigm, an elite group of top 1 percent sales professionals are crushing it. In our age of technology where information is ubiquitous and buyer attention spans are fleeting, these superstars have learned how to leverage a new psychology of selling—Sales EQ—to keep prospects engaged, create true competitive differentiation, as well as shape and influence buying decisions. These top earners are acutely aware that the experience of buying from them is far more important than products, prices, features, and solutions. In Sales EQ, Jeb Blount takes you on an unprecedented journey into the behaviors, techniques, and secrets of the highest earning salespeople in every industry and field. You’ll learn: How to answer the 5 Most Important Questions in Sales to make it virtually impossible for prospects to say no How to master 7 People Principles that will give you the power to influence anyone to do almost anything How to shape and align the 3 Processes of Sales to lock out competitors and shorten the sales cycle How to Flip the Buyer Script to gain complete control of the sales conversation How to Disrupt Expectations to pull buyers towards you, direct their attention, and keep them engaged How to leverage Non-Complementary Behavior to eliminate resistance, conflict, and objections How to employ the Bridge Technique to gain the micro-commitments and next steps you need to keep your deals from stalling How to tame Irrational Buyers, shake them out of their comfort zone, and shape the decision making process How to measure and increase you own Sales EQ using the 15 Sales Specific Emotional Intelligence Markers And so much more! Sales EQ begins where The Challenger Sale, Strategic Selling, and Spin Selling leave off. It addresses the human relationship gap in the modern sales process at a time when sales organizations are failing because many salespeople have never been taught the human skills required to effectively engage buyers at the emotional level. Jeb Blount makes a compelling case that sales specific emotional intelligence (Sales EQ) is more essential to success than education, experience, industry awareness, product knowledge, skills, or raw IQ; and, sales professionals who invest in developing and improving Sales EQ gain a decisive competitive advantage in the hyper-competitive global marketplace. Sales EQ arms salespeople and sales leaders with the tool

Sales Force Integration at FedEx (A)
by David B. GodesFederal Express' (FedEx) recent acquisition of RPS--a ground delivery firm--gave the firm the potential to offer a single source for a client's delivery needs. However, to deliver on this potential, the firm needed to deliver the integrated solution through a single sales force. This integration required the solution of many issues, none more important than the formulation of a new compensation plan that not only determined the sales force's effort but also served as a medium through which FedEx communicated its expectations to the salespeople. Jerry Beyl headed the committee charged with making recommendations on the compensation and training the new sales force. The compensation plan needed to encourage salespeople to sell both products. Complicating matters was the fact that the two organizations' cultures were radically different.
