Instructor: Paul Reilly
Wednesday, March 17, 2021, 8:00 – 9:30 a.m.
Today’s sellers face familiar challenges at unprecedented levels. Markets are flooded with tough competitors selling similar products and services. With the commoditization of products and services, customers become increasingly price sensitive. This tone-setting presentation introduces you to Value-Added Selling. You’ll learn several ideas that will help you implement this go-to-market strategy. In a competitive market, differentiation is key. What sets you apart from your competitors? Why should customers buy from you? How can you get them to return to you again and again? What if I told you that you can compete aggressively and outsell the competition while maintaining your profitability? You can compete aggressively and profitably based on your total value and not on price.
