Modern System Approach:
Synergistic Marketing and Selling
Source:
Agenda,
Michael Hammer
Selling, in the old days, was
largely and act of personal heroism. The key to successful selling was knowing
the products and the customers. The effective sales rep would present his or her
product or service in the best possible light, forge a bond with the buyer, and
triumph over the competition.
This approach has little to do with the way sales
are made in
today's real world. Today's customers
don't want products; they demand solutions, and solutions don't
come in a box. They must be designed, fashioned to meet the customer's specific
needs. Making such sales takes a lot more than
personal charisma. Today's selling is
system selling, solution selling, consultative selling; it
entails analyzing customer needs, designing alternative solutions, scrutinizing
costs, developing and implementing systems, and more.

This is not the work of a heroic individual sales
rep.
Modern selling is a team sport, and a complex one at that. Winning
at it takes discipline and structure. Making it up as you go along is a recipe
for disaster.

Customers for Life
By:
Brian Tracy
The purpose of a business is to
create and
keep a customer. If a business successfully creates and keeps customers
in a cost-effective way, it will make a profit while continuing to survive
and thrive. If, for any reason, a business fails to attract or sustain a
sufficient number of customers, it will experience losses. Too many losses
will lead to the demise of the enterprise.
According to Dun and Bradstreet, the single, most important
reason for the failure of businesses in America is lack of
sales. And, of course, this refers to resales as well as
initial sales. So your company’s job is to create and keep a
customer, and your job is exactly the same. Remember, no matter
what your official title is, you are a salesperson for yourself
and your company...

Apply 80/20 Rule
80/20 Principle helps you direct your attention where the real threat of
competition exists. 80% of your revenue comes from 20% of your customers.
Know who your top revenue-producing customers are and make sure you meet
their needs to win their loyalty. "Focusing on 20% of your customers is a
great deal easier than focusing on 100% of them." Being customer centered on

feasible and highly rewarding."3...
