September 2019 Newsletter

Welcome to the September Newsletter where we highlight what happened in August and provide summaries of key information we have shared.

The Post of the Month

JD posted on Value on LinkedIn.  The key points were:

What is Value? And how should we measure it?

Firstly value is measured by the customer. It doesn’t matter how valuable we think we are it’s only the customer's view that counts.

Secondly, it is not only their personal view of value but how their company measures value.  

How does your customer measure value? Here is a tip: if you think value is measured in terms of your product you are wrong. It should reflect the customer's problem and how much you will make them or save them. If you are unsure it's never too late to ask or reconfirm with your prospect.

 August Masterclass

We had such a big response to the Build Your Pipeline Masterlass in July that we were asked to run it again in August. JD took everyone through the four key steps:

• Marketing Test - understand & convey value
• COCO - Come Out, Come Out wherever you are. There are leads in your old pipeline.
• WWW - Referral Selling. Talk to your customers about What outcomes you delivered for them (business outcomes), Will they refer you to someone they know in a similar position, & When will they do that referral?
• VBP - Value Based Prospecting. Take the output from you marketing test & reflect that in a value driven call to potential new customers.

You can find the recording of the session on the website if you missed it or need a reminder.

The September Masterclass is on Qualification.  View that here.
