This book is specifically designed for those who sell solutions to their customers’ problems and do so in an intensely competitive market. For most sellers, "Consultative Value Selling" models provide the core selling skills needed to thrive in this type of environment.
The more intense the competition, the more sellers lean toward models that will enable them to understand their competitors in a different way and use that knowledge to win sales where others are stopped by preventable objections. The Value Selling Strategies P.R.O.S.P.E.C.T. Model (VSS) is structured to establish each of the critical 10 Buyer Beliefs that when missing or weak, cause your objections. Sales professionals use this model every day to prevent objections from stopping or stalling their sales. In the Value Selling Strategies (VSS) process, the actual selling is done during a strategically designed interview structured around major closing strategies. It is designed to PREVENT most common sales stopping objectives. It does this by establishing each of the critical Buyer Beliefs, that when missing or weak, cause objections. Selling VALUE gets easier with the right tools and an incredibly flexible structure to guide the process. The Value Selling Strategies P.R.O.S.P.E.C.T.
