Beyond the Product

Beyond the Product

Personal connection precedes corporate engagement in the sales process, especially in markets where product offerings are closely matched.

It's not just about the tangible offerings but also about the culture of your company, which now plays a critical role in the customer's decision-making process.

With sales embedded into the culture, making it both noticeable to the outside world and effectively communicating this will help to build lasting customer relationships.

Randy's Tips to Sell More ?? Excerpts from Your Go-To Sales Advisor


Sell Yourself, Sell Your Company, and Then Sell Your Product

By Peter Bell


What the Idea Is: People have to want to do business with you as a person, then they have to want to do business with your company, especially in areas where product offerings may be similar. This applies, no matter what stage your company is in (start-up or well established).


Why It Is Valuable: This truth transcends industries and scales from small to large.


How It Works: It’s important to share up front what is unique about you and your company. Sales is a big part of the culture of the company. In the past, culture was an internal component; however, it is now visible to the outside world and often determines how the company is perceived by the customer, thereby becoming a determining factor in their buying decision.

This is basically a test to see if the reps believe enough in themselves and their company to “drink the Kool-Aid.”8

This concept resonates well with salespeople and sales managers. In the world we live in today, with recurring revenue business, people buy into the company before they buy in to the product. They want an enduring relationship, and they often measure it by the long-term success of the salesperson and the company. That’s why it’s important to differentiate your company and your product.

You have to train your sales force to do this, and then test it (using written and/or oral tests). You can also use role playing. Of course, this is developed internally on a per-company basis, as it is tailored to the specific company. You can have different successful companies with very different cultures.
