Sales Trainer | Author | Coach | Working with engineering and manufacturing teams | Selling has changed – have you?

I might lose business because of this Or I might have some brilliant discussions with the kind of people I want to... ones where we can create impact together Two sides of the coin when it comes down to creating a tight ICP Focus can be scary Niching can be hard However the clarity it brings in understanding customer interests and translating those into better messaging is evident Back in the day 'essential' sales training included a chunk on FAB (Features, Advantages, Benefits) Today we have to talk about Problems (or Pain and Prize) Now you are thinking... "Here go, Fred is about to bang on about product training ruining salespeople and being responsible for boring customers" Nope Not going to do it Waste of time Proud Product Presenters won't listen Whereas the Sales Sophisticates already get it They care about how to take those conversations based on an intelligent assumption to a higher level That's a better use of time  That's who I hang out with That you? #sales #ICP #sophisticated

I can't recall when someone went for a tighter niche and didn't benefit from it.
