Darrell’s Tip

Know Your Clients and Prospects Business Buyers don’t buy products and services from you, they buy the outcomes those products and services deliver. Bob Mosta would say that people don’t buy products, they “hire” them to get a result. While we do need to know our products, even more importantly we need to know our prospects. What are their top business and personal goals? What challenges are they facing reaching those goals. Do you have deals stuck in your funnel? If so, ask yourself two questions:

1. Do I understand their top 3 business and personal goals or challenges?

2. Will my proposal help them achieve one or more of these top 3 goals or solve one or more to 3 challenges?

If the answer is “no” to either of these questions, remove the deal from your funnel and go back to the drawing board. Buyers buy outcomes. If your deals are not connected to the outcomes, the likelihood of closing is slim to none.
