Winning the Professional Services Sale - Unconventional Strategies to
Reach More Clients, Land Profitable Work, and Maintain Your Sanity
Book description
An innovative approach to winning more profitable sales in the
growing professional services industry
In recent years, professional services providers have had to rethink
their sales methods and adapt to profound changes in the way clients
buy services. In response, Winning the Professional Services
Sale argues for fundamental changes in the seller's mindset and
sales strategies. Rather than pressing the sale, salespeople must help
clients buy--the way that works best for each client. This new
approach gives buyers what they now want in a services seller: a
consultative problem solver, change agent, and solution integrator,
all rolled into one. Author Michael McLaughlin presents a strategy for
winning new business with a holistic approach to each client
relationship. Only by fully understanding a sale from every angle,
including its impact on the client's business and career, can
salespeople thrive in the new era of the service economy.
