Sales Strategy 101
       Ram Shriram
      March 27, 2001
Selling through Strategy
Ask “To whom am I selling, what am I selling, why are
they buying?”
Know your product, but sell solutions.
Remember that payback analysis is part of any sale, so
make the business case crystal clear.
Develop a strategy around your customer’s objectives.
Listen, be humble, but be aggressive yet not over-
bearing.
Think long term, but focus on the present!
Charge for everything, but be competitive.
Outsell the Competition
Plan each sales call carefully; know the customer’s hot but-
tons; find an internal champion; don’t bash the competition.
Target wisely based on near term opportunity, size of ac-
count and intuitive feel about sales cycle after initial calls.
Time is the most precious commodity in a sales person’s
daily routine….use judgment on where to spend time.
Be fresh on every call, persevere. Show commitment to
customer’s needs, This builds your credibility.
Develop a feel for budgeted $$, estimate the sales cycle.
Welcome objections, don’t be defensive, focus on details.
Closing Techniques!
Build a relationship, show that you care.
Ask for the order - don’t be reticent or fear rejection.
Set price expectations; don’t argue the $$ till you are in
the contract process.
Prepare well for every negotiation, list issues, listen well.
Don’t be afraid to say NO; customers will respect you.
Summarize the meeting, make sure you follow up on
action items, and suggest next interaction.
Remain in control of the selling process.
Your job is to get the sale!
