Author Kevin Davis shows readers how to slow down and focus on the customer buying process, so they can identify and quantify customers' real needs--and adapt their sales pitches accordingly. Slow Down, Sell Faster! does this by introducing a simple yet powerful method for buyer-focused selling that is practical, repeatable, and easily customizable. This buyer-focused approach extends to proposals and presentations, loyalty and retention, and, of course, cultivating more business. Each step in the book corresponds to a role you should adopt to meet customers' needs at each stage of the buying process. Increasing sales is not just about learning more sales techniques; it's about understanding the buying process--from your customer's point of view. Packed with examples from the author's extensive experience and detailed research on customer buying patterns, Slow Down, Sell Faster! offers an alternative to traditional selling that leads to increased sales--and happier customers.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>"This is a great book, a breakthrough in modern selling! Kevin shows you how to make more sales, easier, and with greater certainty than ever before." <b>-- Brian Tracy, author of <i>The Psychology of Selling</i> </b> </p> </p> "The Chally Group Worldwide has interviewed over 80,000 business-to-business customers and found they are most loyal to salespeople who understand their buying needs and buying processes. <i>Slow Down, Sell Faster!</i> shows you how to become one of those salespeople --a world-class sales professional." <b>-- Howard Stevens, Chairman and CEO, The Chally Group, Worldwide</b> </p> </p> Faster sales pitches won't lead to faster sales. The key to speeding up the sales process is to actually slow down and get in sync with your customer's buying process. </p> </p> Customers don't care about your selling process. They're moving through their own buying process, a set of predictable steps that doesn't match how most salespeople sell. With the highly effective techniques in <i>Slow Down, Sell Faster!</i>, you'll learn how to help your customers through each step of their buying process faster, and with the odds shifted in your favor. </p> </p> Sales guru Kevin Davis has taught thousands of salespeople at a veritable "who's who" of Fortune 500 companies. His eight-step method unleashes the power of slowing down each sales conversation, asking more questions, identifying needs, and supplying solutions--in the right sequence, with the right approaches. It's an especially effective formula for high-stakes sales involving multiple decision-makers that delivers big rewards. You'll learn how to: </p> </p> - match your sales behaviors to your customers' needs at every step of the buying process - get more appointments--especially at the C-level--by using a problem-focused approach - combat your most lethal competitor: customer complacency - use probing questions to diagnose small problems that can point to bigger needs - master the complicated politics of complex sales - overcome common selling dilemmas, such as customers who go silent at the eleventh hour - and more. </p> </p> You already know how to sell. It's time to learn how people buy--to slow down so you can sell faster! </p> </p> </p> "As the provider of choice for our customers' business technology needs it is imperative that we have a sales process focused on the customer buying cycle.
