B2B Sales Strategy 101 Consultative Model
“Listening and gaining business understanding are more important selling skills than persuasion; creativity is more important than product knowledge.” “The only single „truth‟ that seems to be holding true for all sales forces is that they have to create value for customers if they are to be successful. Just communicating the value inherent in their products isn‟t enough.” “It‟s a risky strategy in a consultative sales to go to a senior-level decision maker before thoroughly understanding the issues and problems where you can create value. Most good consultative salespeople will first do their homework by working with those influencers in the buying organization who have the best knowledge of the problems and opportunities where the selling organization hopes to create value.”

…Quotes from “Rethinking the Sales Force.” Neil Rackham & John DeVincentis
