Sales

Sales Vice Presidents are driving great organizations to grow revenues profitably with Value Propositions.  Early impressions matter. Reps need the skills and the tools to win the first meeting.  The result is increased qualified opportunities in the sales pipeline.  Reps are able to connect with customer executives early in the sales process and differentiate their products.

Presales

Selling complex B2B solutions takes sales teamwork. Presales specialists increasingly add technical expertise and product use experience to the sales conversation as they help customize solutions to customer specifics.  Shared Value Propositions between sales and presales are a great tool for sales teams to collaborate and win.

Pricing

Value-based pricing has been shown to increase profitability, improving on the results of cost-based pricing and competitor-based pricing.  By focusing on customer value, pricing professionals collaborate with sales teams, providing them with a better basis to highlight differentiation and improve pricing outcomes.

Product Launch

Innovative products are the key to B2B growth and profitability.  Yet the vast majority of new product launches fail.  Quantifying value early in development helps development teams understand customers and design better products.  Having a great Value Proposition at launch generates sales momentum and accelerates revenues.
