Sales & Support
Your customer’s decision to buy is, increasingly, a business decision.
In today's economy, most major sales close when they can be justified to the customer CFO or other management. The Business Case Solution for Sales equips you with a proven approach for establishing the business value of your proposal, with credibility and compelling impact, even if you are not a financial specialist.
Not every sales process calls for a customer business case, of course, but you know that you must respond when your customer:
- Asks serious financial questions
- Has to justify the sale internally, to the CFO or to an internal review board
- Has heard the economic argument against you from your competition
- Has serious financial problems (net loss or cash flow problems, for instance)
- Cannot differentiate your proposal from the competition in terms of features and functions alone
- Seems listless or allows the sales process to stall
How do respond in such cases? How do you lead the customer to see, in compelling, credible terms, that your proposal is the better business decision? Most sales people, marketers, and sales consultants, know that any vendor-produced business case faces serious challenges. You know that the customer knows:
- You want the sale and have an interest in producing a business case that favors your proposal
- You are not a financial specialist (but your proposal will be given the acid-test by their financial specialists)
- You don't have time or resources for a full-blown business case analysis project
Good sales people know that barriers like these are blessings in disguise if you let them stop the competition and turn them to your own advantage. Make no mistake, however, this requires more than a single training, a good "ROI tool," or an inventory of business case success stories and "proof points" — no matter how good.
