High-Profit Selling: Win the Sale Without Compromising on Price Paperback - 2012

There's a big difference between making sales...and making profitable sales. While it may be tempting to cut prices in order to fleetingly beat the competition, short-term strategies based on offering discounts can destroy the long-term sustainability of your business. In short, your sales goal shouldn't be to sell more...but to sell more at a higher price.

High-Profit Selling offers you a whole new way of thinking about sales. The book gives you a comprehensive, step-by-step system for moving toward a profit-centered approach that will strengthen your relationships and increase your bottom line. You'll learn how to:

Avoid negotiating - Actively listen to customers - Match the benefits of your product or service with your customers' needs and pains - Confidently communicate value - Successfully execute a price increase with existing customers - Ensure prospects are serious and not shopping for price

Customers will always want a "deal" . . . and all too often, salespeople are willing to give it to them before digging deep enough to find out what the real issues are behind their buying decisions. High-Profit Selling shows you how to avoid making price the central talking point and focus more on how your product or service meets your customers' needs and desired benefits.

All sales aren't created equal. This book shows you how to close deals that truly make a profit.
