This book provides employees and managers in sales with a clearly defined process for building sustainable business relationships along the account journey. Using a structured method, you will learn how to set yourself up for success right from the start, increase your competitiveness, grow market share, and generate more revenue. In B2B sales today, it's no longer primarily about just solving the customer's problems and skimming their budget. The key to success is to ask your customer the right questions, understand all facets of his strategy, and help him achieve his goals with your offering - this is the only way to create a fruitful, long-term partnership at eye level. If you align your messages with these goals, you will generate tailored customer value, and the customer will have no choice but to accept your offer. This paradigm shift should make it easier for customers to buy, and it can be instrumental in helping account managers in B2B increase their sales in the long run. This book provides practical tools and a blueprint for salespeople to succeed and for managers to lead their teams with purpose.
