Step 1 In Sales: Understanding Your Solution You cannot be successful as a sales professional if you do not understand what you’re selling. “I sell pool chemicals” “I sell construction services” “I sell SaaS”. No. You sell the ability to enjoy your backyard pool, you solve an infrastructure need, you help your customers perform their business tasks faster, more efficiently and most cost effectively. In B2B sales, you need to solve a business problem. No business problem, no sale. No pain, no gain. You need to understand what business problem your solution solves. Stop thinking “What’s in it for me, the sales professional(WIIFM)” ( 💰 , duh), And start thinking “What’s in it for me, the customer” The only way you're going to get time of day from a potential customer is if you can tell the, why your solution is useful to them!

Technical sales doesn’t work for Engineers Traditional selling sets up a buyer and selling role and makes the client follow a structured series of steps to close the sale. The client is seen as a dupe who unwittingly is sold to. Here are just a few of the reasons it doesn’t work in engineering consulting: Clients want a relationship of trust Clients prefer consultants who uniquely understand their needs It’s about opening relationships, not closing sales If clients feel like they are being “sold to” they get cynical and distance themselves from you WHAT DOES WORK? One - A client-centric strategy that puts the client relationship at the centre of the firm. Then create a unique and valuable relationship that creates a competitive advantage. Two - Building collaborative relationships is the second. A collaborative approach is the opposite of selling, and as the collaborative relationship grows so does the fee income.
