The Hybrid Sales Channel: How to Ignite Growth by Bridging the Gap Between Direct and Indirect Sales
Author: Rich Blakeman
Publisher: McGraw Hill Professional
ISBN: 007184533X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Customers are changing the way they buy. Why aren't you changing the way you sell? Today's customers have more buying options than ever before. They don't care if it's direct or indirect. They don't mind if it's not your preferred sales model. And they don't like it when you try to tell them how to buy from you. If you want your customers to keep buying—and your company to keep growing—you need to rethink and retool the way you're selling. You need to go "hybrid." The Hybrid Sales Channel shows you how to integrate, invigorate, and maximize the direct and indirect sales channels you already have—so you'll be able to: SELL MORE. Grow your sales organically and exponentially faster. SELL MORE EFFICIENTLY. Align the right resources from all sales channels to the right selling opportunities. SELL IN THE WAYS THAT CUSTOMERS WANT TO BUY. Focus on how your customer buys, not on how you want to sell. Developed by the sales performance leaders at MHI Global, this test-driven, customer-based approach to selling will revolutionize your sales channels, reenergize your sales teams, and reignite your sales growth—efficiently, holistically, and rapidly. This is the future of direct and indirect sales, a newly organized, easily implemented sales model inspired by a changing market and empowered customer base. With The Hybrid Sales Channel, you'll have the best of all worlds—and get the best of all results. If you're like most companies, you probably think your direct and indirect sales channels are more than sufficient for handling customers' needs—and you don't need to spend time or money developing a "hybrid" version of what you already have. But the truth is: you do. The truth is: a higher and higher percentage of customers are buying through partners and less through direct channels. The truth is: You need to adapt to the market—and you need to do it now—using The Hybrid Sales Channel. This fully intergrated, fully operational approach to selling is built on the same concept as a hybrid car with dual engines. This step-by-step guide shows you how to put it all together—quickly and easily. Learn how to: Merge two methodologies to ignite new growth Drive more sales, better sales, and faster sales Speak to your core customer using The MHI Global Sales System (TM) Remove competition and confusion between routes to market Prepare for territory level execution and larger market coverage Improve company alignment—and make extraordinary things happen However you decide to sell your products or services, the customer will ultimately decide how they want to buy them. The Hybrid Sales Channel gives you the tools you need to adapt to changing customer habits in the fastest, most efficient way possible. You'll find sales-targeted tips for choosing the right coverage for the right opportunity, money-saving strategies to avoid duplicate work, and cross-checking techniques to keep direct and indirect sales running smoothly. You'll also discover fascinating real-world examples of hybrid sales in action, and learn the best practices of the biggest sellers across the globe.

How Customers Buy...& Why They Don’t
Author: Martyn R. Lewis
Publisher: Radius Book Group
ISBN: 1635765234
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
Lewis makes a compelling argument that businesses must look beyond their own internal view of how something is sold, to the external reality of how customers actually buy. He asserts that no one buys anything because of a sales process; customers only buy because of their own buying process. And so, for all those whose livelihood depends upon successful revenue generation, the only rational course of action is to positively influence and effectively manage the end-to-end customer-buying journey. The simple failure of mousetrap logic—that is, the quality of the product or value proposition of the service is sufficient to convince customers to make a purchase—is at the heart of most revenue generation challenges today. How Customers Buy...and Why They Don’t shows that vendors are too often trying to solve the wrong problem, because customers actually do “get it,” they just don’t buy it. The book starts by explaining Outside-in Revenue Generation. It then decodes the six elements of the Customer Buying Journey DNA. It defines the nine Buying Concerns, any one of which can derail a purchase. It unveils the deceptively simple and elegant 4Q Buying Style Quadrant that unlocks the intricacies of how buyers actually think. The second section of the book explains what you can do about customers not buying your products or services. It reveals that there are only four things—Sales and Marketing Imperatives—that can be done to positively impact the market. It goes on to walk the reader through the development of the Market Engagement Strategy. The final section of the book translates the five components of the Market Engagement Strategy into actionable sales and marketing behaviors.
