        • (Neil Rackham and John De Vincentis, McGraw Hill )
      • Main Concept – Sales people need to create value as part of the sales process – for them and the company to survive

      • Why is this important?
    4. Value Creation – Why it’s important
      • The Average Fortune 500 company has reduced its supplier base by 50% with plans for an additional 25-23%
      • Over a 6 year period Xerox cut its number of suppliers from 18,000 to less than 500

      • CONSUMERS
      • Skeptical about new product performance
      • Don’t see the need for it
      • Satisfied with existing product
      • See what they already own as the status quo
      • COMPANIES
      • Convinced the innovation works
      • See the need for it
      • Dissatisfied with existing substitute
      • View the innovation as the benchmark

    11. The Transactional Sale
      • You can approach transactions in four different ways:
      • Create new value
        • Distinctive offering
      • Adapt
        • Reengineer you sales approach – Strip out sales and related cost

      • Exit
        • Disengage from the segment, product or customer type
    12. The Consultative Sale
      • You can create value in different ways:
      • Help your customer understand their problems, issues and opportunities in a different way
      • Help customers arrive at new or better solutions to the problem than they would have discovered on their own
      • Act as a customer advocate inside the supplier organization

    19. Communication is too complex & Costly! The average small-to-medium-sized business (SMB) uses 6.4 types of communication devices and 4.8 communications applications, according to a 2006 study by Sage Research, and the study also reported that more than 50% of employees use multiple methods to contact someone. Communications in most offices is too complex to be efficient or effective! Complexity causes Chaos! The key is to deliver simplicity!
