By Tibor Shanto. Frankly, who cares? Your prospects sure don’t! No, seriously! Some of your customers maybe; your competitors – when it serves their needs. Oh ya, the marketing team that “developed” the “value prop” does. But weren’t you telling me Tuesday that they’ve never been out on a client call?

By Tibor Shanto. Selling solutions is a great approach, but there is a key prerequisite for it to work. Buyers need to actually have or feel they have the problem purported to be solved. But if they don’t see the problem, they won’t need the solution. This is why you find sellers selling more problems than solutions.

When your computer isn't functioning the way you expect you may notice how sluggish and unresponsive it is - a symptom of the real problem - so you need to look more closely. I'm on a Mac so I open up the activity monitor to determine if a program or programs are using too much memory or utilizing too much CPU.

By Tibor Shanto. There is no doubt that VALUE is central to sales success. Buyers are looking to maximize value, vendors are focused on delivering value, value, value. Yet, most sellers do not have a clear and – actionable definition for value. This has held back the quality of conversation and may explain why some sales take as long as they do. Unlike roses, it’s not just value, by any other name.
