INSIGHTS OF THE DAY


Understanding the Customer's Business, Vendor Trap - Steve: “Customers are swarmed by salespeople who don't put in the time, energy or effort to really understand the business of the customer's business. And then when you don't understand the business of the customer's business, you get relegated to gatekeepers and to evaluators and to folks that want to sort of put you into a box or a position.


One of the sales traders I worked with many years ago wrote a book called Beyond Selling Value, and he talks about the vendor trap. Okay. And the vendor trap is a place that's really hard to fight your way at. And so I think business presentations are important, not just for closing deals”
