Services and Consulting
Sales: What the world's best are doing different than you. Currently, methods of sales and standard solutions used by service providers and consultancies start-ups to companies of various size unfortunately, are not working as before. Driven by the Internet, the commoditization of many products and consulting services, as the impact of this recently great recession and the radical intensification of competition in many industries. As a result the purchase of services and consulting to companies are definitely changing, despite marketing efforts and activities such as events, visiting customers, social networking, and networking with potential and existing customers. Nowadays, the idea that you need to push aggressively the benefits of your business to potential client until someone learns, is not as valid as it used to be until 2011 and 2012. Sales in Europe today, in some Asian countries, North America and Latin America are undergoing a significant transformation in the field of services and consulting. We are all bombarded daily with ads and messages and we end up training our brains to "turn off" when we see commercials and promotions! We do not want to buy anymore, by incessant attacks of information, whether products, services or consultancy. The new way to sell A new way to sell is called a soft sales or bland sales, no longer through aggressive and incessant slogans, advertisements or sales slogans saying: how your services are wonderful and better you’re your competitors, because it simply discourages potential customers. The way to sell now relies heavily on its educational approach, where the more knowledge you bring to people and more value with great targeted content to your potential customers, the more they see will see your company and you as an authority in your sector. The results of these approaches at this time, which only began to emerge from the global crisis is working for almost all small, medium and large companies and specially for consulting and services providers such as small practices, startups and giants like Oracle, SAP, SAS, Ericsson. The same happens with several global banks and companies that sell services. It was interesting to see the changes that Oracle and some of my customers have come in recent years.

Authority vs. Experts I
find it important to mention that currently be an expert in your area, honestly, it will not help you a lot in this highly competitive market! That's because there are many experts and companies in your sector, but people who really are authorities in their field with experience, credibility, and ability to turn talk into real and positive results are few. Therefore, if you or your company positions yourself as an authority, you will see much more success in selling your services and consulting offers. Remember also that this does not necessarily happen tomorrow or later, this achievement is a process. The game has changed! The idea to give free tips and advice are not well accepted by many service providers and consultants. Actually in the beginning, even I had difficulties to accept this new way of making sales, this new approach. Companies and consultants often feel that the advices and ideas are your product so why do it for free and give it away? This way of thinking is understandable, but it shows a lack of comprehension of the 2013 forward sales approaches. Remember, your new potential customers are just beginning to come out of the global crisis, here in Europe for instance, we are still in crisis, and it affected the changing the way we sell services and consulting. Sharing knowledge is to add value If you start to open up and share some of your knowledge with potential and existing clients, trying to add value to customers since the first moment, you will find yourself surrounded with more opportunities. I know these sounds kind of surprising, but imagine you with a lot of knowledge, without sharing with others, it is not a waste? Focusing in demonstrate your company ability to resolve the concerns of your client can bring you more sales and authority within your field, is that worth to store your knowledge? Think if this can help your company to sell. Opening up unafraid to deliver added value to customers in pre-sales and post-sales also have proved day after day that generates the best results for your company or for you. Obviously, it helps to create to the potential customer the perception that you are the authority in your area, so imagine when he need someone in this area, who will him get in contact with? ... If you participate in a sales process as a partner and not as the seller of services, bringing added value since the beginning, your chances increase significantly to win the opportunity. By the customer perceiving you as an authority, he will buy from you or your company, these are working for many companies today and can work for yours too in case you like it. This is working independent of what kind of services or consulting you are selling. At some point, customers will need to buy and if you have a portfolio of well-organized and attractive services even better. Nowadays the consultant educates and guides offers added value, helping the customer to make the right decisions, without pushing your "fish". These have greater sales potential than the old approaches, which just talks and mentions how wonderful are your services All Copyrights © 2013 Reserved to Eglobalis Page 2

and consulting. After you
have shared your knowledge with your customer, it probably they will still see some of your competitors in your niche market, but if the other consultant and services providers does not offer added value as you already have done, who do you think will be the authority on your clients head?Fact that increase significantly, your chances of successful sales. The secret The secret here is that you do not need to give everything in detail about what you know. In fact, you should avoid give all details. When a potential customer or interested persons asks you a question or ask your advice, you should be happy to be able to respond and help without thinking, whether you are saying too much or not. Always offer your best, so you will have much more success in your specific area, sharing with their customer’s thoughts on the subject only will help you and your company. I hope that this new approach will make you rethink the sale of services and consulting that your company is pursuing.
