Book excerpt: Bookstores are full of books about how to sell. From prospecting to closing, sales people are searching for ways to be more successful. Very few focus on the most important element in a sale-the buyer. Focus on Buyers turns the sales process upside down and begins with the end. If you understand how buyers buy, you will sell more effectively. Whether you're in sales, marketing, or customer service, you may find yourself wondering: · Why are my prospects behaving this way? · How do I move someone forward in the sales cycle? · How can I influence my prospects so they believe my product will solve their problem? Jeff and Rebecca Fritzson teach these concepts to sales people worldwide. They find that once sales people understand their buyer's perspective, they increase their personal sales and develop better customer relationships. Focus on Buyers will take you on a journey of discovery through your buyer's thought processes. Beginning with change, the starting point of any buying process, and continuing through the individual buying states people navigate on their way to making a purchase, Focus on Buyers provides the map that will help you find your way to increased sales.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pork dorks. Craftsters. American Girl fans. Despite their different tastes, these eclectic diehards have a lot in common: they’re obsessed about a specific brand, product, or category. They pursue their passions with fervor, and they’re extremely knowledgeable about the things they love. They aren’t average consumers—they’re superconsumers. Although small in number, superconsumers can have an outsized impact on a company’s bottom line. Representing 10% of total consumers, they can drive between 30% to 70% of sales, and they’re usually willing to spend considerably more than the average consumer. And because they’re so engaged and passionate, they can offer invaluable advice to managers looking to improve their products, change their business models, energize their cultures, and attract new customers. In Superconsumers, growth strategy expert Eddie Yoon lays out a simple but extremely effective framework that has helped companies of all types and sizes achieve more sustainable growth: he’ll show you how to find, listen to, and engage with your most passionate and profitable consumers, and then tailor your decisions to meet their wants and needs. Along the way, he’ll let you into the minds and homes of superconsumers of all kinds, revealing what makes them tick and why they’re willing to spend so much more than other consumers. Rich with data and case studies of companies that have implemented superconsumer strategies with great success, Superconsumers is a fun, practical, and inspiring guide for anyone interested in making their best customers even better.
Download or read book Velocity Selling written by Bob Urichuck and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2014-02-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bottom Line Sales are the lifeline to your bottom line. To succeed in sales, you need to do the opposite of selling. Most organizations today realize the economy has brought on a shift from selling during the boom times to attracting, engaging, and empowering the new economy of buyers to buy. One absolute fact is that traditional and consultative sales methods no longer work. Businesses are experiencing slower sales, sales cycles are too long, sales professionals lose control of the sales process, and businesses’ bottom lines are behind projections. Velocity Selling will help you learn a non-traditional “buyer-focused” sales system that will boost your sales volume while contributing to your bottom line. As opposed to teaching selling skills, it teaches you how to facilitate the buying process by putting your focus on the buyer and how to attract, engage, and empower them to buy. As simple as A, B, C, D, it starts with building a solid foundation: Attitude: belief in yourself, your organization, and the buyer Behavior: effective habits toward yourself, your organization, and the buyer Competencies: a systematic approach to engaging and empowering buyers to buy, if they are qualified Disciplines: practices that need to be maintained for continuous success Yes, you can increase your bottom line while shortening your sales cycle; you can be in control of the sales process while building and maintaining relationships that will become your secondary sales force. Without buyers there are no sales, no revenue, no organization, no jobs. But buyers are everywhere. What are you doing to help them buy? Sales Velocity ~ Your Bottom Line ~ Our Passion
