The Emerging Role of the Sales Professional Remember the emerging role of the sales professional today is not to increase sales. Let me repeat that--- your role today is not to increase sales. Your role as a sales professional today is to systematically and consistently increase the number of customers who choose you to be their #1 supplier........ You must become----THE SUPPLIER OF CHOICE---- which means you always get-----THE FIRST CALL----and THE LAST LOOK! Don’t make the rookie mistake of thinking that your customers don’t give last looks. If your customer doesn’t give you last look. That means somebody else is getting it. It’s time to evaluate the relationship equity you have built in that account. Today it’s not about the features and benefits of your product. It’s about value and how your customers are going to make a profit. You no longer just sell yourself and everything falls into place. Today, relationships are still very important but they are the ante to play. Customers are smarter and more educated. You must bring every resource your company has into play and leverage those resources to create competitive advantage. Learn to really listen to your customers. Let them talk and when there seems to be a pause in the conversation resist the temptation to start talking again. Chances are good that the customer has more to say. The quieter you are the more they will tell you. Listen long enough with a few strategically placed questions and the customer might just tell you exactly how to gain his business. (And it won’t just be about price) So tell me ------ What’s gonna be in your wallet in 2006?
