ValueSelling Associates Partners with Selling Power to Publish a New Resource for B2B Salespeople

The global sales training market is poised to grow to $4.21 billion by 2024, according to Technavio, yet research from HBR shows that nearly 70% of change initiatives fail. Julie Thomas, CEO of ValueSelling Associates, explains sales training is an important change initiative, and the high failure rate is why B2B sales professionals must take a value-based approach. “Now, more than ever, the selling solution for today’s complicated world is value-based selling because it is a common-sense approach," said Thomas, “but common sense isn’t always common practice—and that’s the problem.”

ValueSelling Associates, Inc. has partnered with Selling Power to produce a special edition of Selling Power magazine titled, “Value-Based Selling: The Approach that Builds Sales Results.” It is focused on demystifying value-based selling, explaining what it is, how it works to deliver sales results, and why it works so well. When sellers develop the skills to sell on value, rather than price, they qualify opportunities better and faster, achieve higher win rates, and engage C-suite executives. This accelerates revenue growth and positions the seller as a consultative partner.

“Value selling is no longer simply a tactic for salespeople to use with prospects,” states McKinsey Partner Michael Harney who is a featured expert in the special edition. “It must become a corporate mindset in which all eyes are focused on the customer and on the data that flows from all customer interactions across all channels. Companies that do this well can reap dramatic gains.” In the article “The Value-Selling Mindset,” Harney outlines the steps leaders must take to rewire an organization and make this transformation.

ValueSelling Associates is sharing its special resource on value-based selling as a free downloadable PDF.
