Selling in the PANDEMIC
Wednesday, October 13, 2021
Cracking Accounts has been widely used across the US and Canada. Now in it's 12th year of publication and the recent 10th anniversary edition in print and being sold, our clients tell us how pwerful a selling skills and sales management tool it has become for their company.
We are happy to hear how it has become the best tool to be used in this pandemic. Most customers have severely limited contact with their supplier salespeople. The traditional way of trying to meet and establish "relationships" to "win" orders is over. The interaction between the supplier salesperson and the customer must be succinct, be of importance, and productive. New relationships will be based on this.
The tools in Cracking Accounts of AIM ARM and ENGAGE and using Call Packets has proven to be the best way to maintain and grow profitable sales during these extraordinary times. Those companies that have been using the tools have found it works great today and others that are developing the tools are showing positive results.
