The Pipeline

By Tibor Shanto. Some people hide from prospecting in their pipelines; pretending the opportunities, individually or collectively, are more real than they are.

The more salespeople fudge that line, the harder they to work.

A one-size-fits-all approach generally isn’t as appealing as a personalized experience. This can be true for the merchant as well as the consumer. If you are selling tickets to a concert, for instance, having a cheaper general admission ticket and a more expensive VIP treatment ticket would probably suit you best. This is an everyday example of price tiering that gives the seller more opportunities to convert leads and the buyer more options to fit the experience and price they desire.
