Increase your sales team’s success rate in winning big opportunities at high-impact accounts!
The Challenges of Selling to Strategic Accounts
Winning large opportunities with high-profile, strategic accounts is challenging for even the best salespeople. These customers require strategic thinking, dedicated effort, and high-level planning and preparation. And the trend is for the bigger accounts to get bigger. With consolidations, there are more large accounts everyday.
Large accounts are very sophisticated in how they deal with suppliers. If your people aren’t prepared they may not even get an opportunity. And even if they do win the sale, it may be at a money losing price or terms.
Most sales professionals have the desire to win this business, yet they often don’t know how to go about working through the myriad of issues involved with complex and sophisticated sales. These issues range from thoroughly understanding the customer’s business and identifying the roles of the multiple players involved, to evaluating competitors and creating a custom strategy that embraces the customer’s value proposition. Winning High-Profile Strategic Accounts also requires the salesperson to clearly identify the “Value Drivers” influencing the sale when crafting a winning strategy.
