We all have competitors, so what is the best way to deal with them? If Your Competition Does It, Stop Doing It Right Away.
What will this accomplish? Differentiation. One of the keys of closing and keeping business is being different. Competitive advantage greatly increases the probability you or your salespeople will sell. Understanding your market will help you create different products or services that will make you stand out.
Are you tired of Price Pressure? You cannot be a commodity if you are different than your competition. Do you grow weary of Comparison Shoppers? If you are different you will easily separate yourself from the pack.
How about cold calling and looking for appointments? If you look and sound like all your competitors, all salespeople for that matter, your prospects are justified in blowing you off. Try to differentiate yourself and your company in everything you do.
Remember, “If Your Competition Does It, Stop Doing It Right Away”, separate yourself from your competition. Think about this before your next sales call, or ask for help from Sales Concepts at 440-575-7000.

"Why Mailing Literature Fails"
Literature informs, but people sell. How many times have you forgotten that in your sales career?
Traditionally, sales people bombard prospects with literature and information that most people never read and are usually thrown away. People will buy a $50,000 automobile and never read the owner's manual -- yet we think our prospects are going to read 5 page color brochures cover to cover?
Prospects who ask for literature are typically trying to get rid of you. Learning how to get past the "Send Me Literature" objection is one of many skills that separate the exceptional salespeople from the rest. Stand your ground and help your prospect discover "Why Mailing Literature Fails".
