Sell Value First; Negotiate Deals Second: Bankers Learn How in Upcoming Webinar
Consulting and bank sales training firm Clarity Advantage to share strategies for positioning value in bank sales calls in a live webinar on July 19, 2011 entitled, Selling the Value of Bank Solutions.
Concord, MA, July 11, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Bank fees continue to rise and small business customers and prospects want to do everything they can to avoid them. Account fees. Cash management fees. Deposit fees. How do branch staff and business bankers justify them? How can they avoid conceding on price too early in the negotiation process and sell the value in a way that doesn’t give up the bank’s margins?
The solution, according to Nick Miller, president of Clarity Advantage, a consulting and bank sales training firm, is for bankers to build up the value side before they start negotiating. Here’s how:
· Correctly identify the client’s problems
· Clarify the implications of those problems for the client
· Know specifically what costs, delays, or lost revenues are at stake
· Know how much the bank’s solution could save the client
“If sales people have thoroughly explored the value side, then, when negotiation begins, they are in a position to start high on price because the perception of value is high,” says Miller. “If they fail to build a compelling value before offering a price concession, they’ve adopted a risky and potentially expensive strategy.”
Miller will explore these and other strategies for positioning value in sales calls on July 19, 2011 in a live webinar entitled Selling the Value of Bank Solutions. The one-hour, complimentary webinar will begin at 12:00 PM EDT and is intended for bank sales people calling on businesses, $0 - $30 million in sales.
Selling the Value of Bank Solutions is part of Clarity Advantage’s Deep Diving into Sales Techniques summer webinar series.
