Sales staff You already, or Negotiate You still?
Myth Value Selling - Fake news or the art of selling?
Sales is not a quartet game - it's not just about the "value" you sell to your customer. Value selling is hailed by many as the Holy Grail of modern selling, but here's the uncomfortable truth: it's the myth that steers sales in the wrong direction.
Too often, the "value" of a product is packaged in universal terms that have no real impact on the purchasing decision because the true needs and individual requirements of the customer are overlooked.
Salespeople fail with value selling because they try to convince the customer with rational arguments and standardized "value propositions" - but that is precisely the mistake. Value selling often ignores the customer's emotional decision-making process and reduces the sale to a series of "value propositions" that often do not even address the customer's real problem.
This presentation dispels the myth of value selling and shows you how to focus on real, customized solutions that really inspire your customers instead of "value propositions". If you are still stuck in the "value selling trap", you are still negotiating - instead of selling. Because you don't win by "explaining value", you win by precisely addressing your customer's real needs and emotions and presenting the right solution at exactly the right time.
Learn how to design the pitch in such a way that the customer no longer wants to negotiate because he is convinced of your solution.
  • How to identify the background to the purchasing decision process and use it to your advantage
  • How to analyze and win over buying influencers
  • How to tailor your offer precisely to the needs of your customers
  • How to position your proposal presentation correctly and win the pitch
Value selling is an empty theory that is often nothing more than a nice but useless term to "convince" customers without really understanding what they want and need. If you really want to sell successfully, you need to personalize and emotionalize the "value" - so that it solves the customer's specific problem. Stop parroting value selling and learn how to close real deals through customized solutions and a precise customer approach.
This presentation is for anyone who wants to leave the myth of value selling behind and achieve success with an effective, genuine sales strategy.
The New Kind the Guidance in the Distribution
An agile environment needs stability from within
In a world in which our environment is changing ever faster and sales teams are increasingly working globally, remotely and hybrid, it is no longer enough to rely solely on tried-and-tested management models. Leadership in sales must change radically in order to meet the new challenges.
The question is: How do you lead in a results-oriented way without always knowing exactly how to get there? How do you manage to motivate your team and keep them together when working conditions are more diverse and flexible than ever before?
This presentation will show you how you as a manager can shape the new type of leadership in sales - and how you can still offer stability and orientation in an agile and dynamic environment.
  • How managers need to reinvent themselves
  • How to lead in a results-oriented way without knowing the way
  • How to master the leadership challenges and cohesion of your team in times of global, remote, home office, online & hybrid
Managers in sales are no longer just managers of processes - they are the architects of a new world of work. The shift from traditional offices to home offices, from fixed working hours to flexible and decentralized working models requires managers to develop new skills and rethink their approach. In an increasingly agile and flexible working world, leadership is needed that provides orientation, creates trust and still delivers results.
This presentation will help you to develop exactly this kind of leadership: flexible, future-oriented, yet stable and focused on results. Don't miss the chance to take your leadership to the next level and lead your sales team into the future.
