New book offers B2B revenue leaders and sales professionals a simple framework to deliver real value to buyers and accelerate sales results
CARLSBAD, Calif., Sept. 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A new book released today, written by sought-after sales leader and trainer Julie Thomas, unveils value-based selling techniques that are critically important to close the gap between how buyers want to buy and how sellers want to sell. The Power of Value Selling: The Gold Standard to Drive Revenue and Create Customers for Life (Wiley, September 20, 2023) provides B2B salespeople with a solution to this problem. This influential book has been ranked as a #1 new release by Amazon in both the Business Sales and Customer Relations categories.
The Power of ValueSelling points out that the abundance of online information available to buyers has impacted the way they buy – and as a result – how modern sellers need to sell. Today, buyers can do their own research before making a purchase for their business and avoid spending time with a salesperson they may perceive to be annoying. In fact, 72% of B2B buyers prefer completing their purchase without speaking to a rep, according to Gartner research.
Yet, this research also reveals an intriguing paradox: buyers who don’t rely on salespeople during their decision process are often unhappy with the purchase they make. Gartner reports 56% of buyers have significant regret after making a large technology purchase.
The problem is, many buyers don’t know how to diagnose their own business issues and often come up with a prescriptive solution that is off the mark. Additionally, the buying process has become more complex due to the number of people, agendas and biases involved in a group decision. This is why buyers should rely on the knowledge and advice of a salesperson.
However, that revenue professional must be focused on providing value – not only on their own agenda.
