Selling a price increase.

Filed under: Account Management, Selling, Pitching — Prakash Muralidharan @ 11:44 pm
Mark Hunter has an interesting view on selling price increases:

"A price increase must always be sold to two people.  Not only does the person buying the product / service need to be conviced, but also (and more importantly) the salesperson doing the selling."

He goes on to say that sales lost as a result of the price increase maybe because of poor questioning rather than the price increase itself: "they lost sales because they didn’t ask enough questions to fully establish the customers’ needs."

Seth drops a bomb shell when he says "No such thing as price pressure".
