Sales

Approach each customer with the idea of helping him or her to solve a problem or achieve a goal, not of selling a product or service.

Brian Tracy (*1944), US-american author

The approach of this quote is also promoted by the author Keenan in his book “Gap Selling”. B2B sales should be perceived by the customer as an advice to close the “gap”, the gap between the actual state and the desired goal. Furthermore, with gap selling, the sales department learns a great deal about the customer’s needs and thus obtains invaluable information for the strategy and product development in its own company. To build a successful B2B sales you need a solid strategy.
