Many professionals are uncomfortable with the idea of selling. As a result they fail to explore the needs of their clients fully and propose solutions too early. This undermines their professional relationship and alienates their clients.
Advancing the Sale places the customer at the heart of the process. It shows how, by focusing on the client and moving at a speed they are comfortable with, you can persuade them to accept your professional advice by involving them more in creating the solution to their needs.
It provides the tools to help you to help them through each stage of the buying process, first creating interest and awareness of a need, then getting them excited, convincing them of the merits of a solution and closing on a new course of action.
