If your salespeople don't understand their Messaging, don't know how they really differ from the competition and know how to articulate value during customer conversations, how can they expect their prospects to understand why they should buy your product or service?
Well, 90% of sales people don't position value effectively* and may be it's now time for a dedicated messaging partner who helps you to review the value of your offering.

The inability of sales to communicate value during customer interactions is perceived by executives as the number one inhibitor to sales success.*
Marketing departments generally produce collateral what a company sells, but don't reflect the conversations that customers want to have.
SalesMessage 2.0 coaches your sales force to articulate all messaging which we have built and we test if they really understand it. This training set up can be done on a 1:1 basis, e-learning or a workshop with your sales team and preferably on an ongoing basis where we periodically exercise, help and motivate.
A successful sales conversationalist is better prepared for customer conversations. He responds in the right way to customer objections and can make the customer clear why he should buy from him instead of the competitor. He also let the prospects memorize the messages that make the sale. You have created a real sponsor once the prospect is able to convince his colleague(s) that your solution is the only option!

We accelerate the learning curve of all sales messaging within you organization. We do it in a systematic way, the sales messages must be fully integrated into the organization and communicated to every department and business unit.
Every organization needs one core competence: differentiation
SalesMessage 2.0 is well positioned as an external advisor to audit your sales messaging.
Our audit we help your organisation identify concrete deficits in your messaging strategy. This service helps you evaluate the current messaging. The outcome of such an audit is a solid foundation to organise your sales messaging activities following afterwards.
Can sales messaging be audited? Yes!
In order to create more competitive advantage, the sales and marketing organization must document and interrogate its sales messaging processes using 'Sarbanes-Oxley-like' rigor.
The audit provides an objective assessment on whether you are providing effective messaging so your target buyer perceives your offering as different from all the other competitive options and vendors.
You will be able to create more preference and the outcome helps you clearly differentiate from the competition and enables customers to memorize "why to buy from you".
This audit process engages multiple departments and, once completed, allows us to consolidate the feedback and make messaging recommendations based on the information gathered.
We will identify where you excel and where there is opportunity to improve your messaging performance through analysis of the following Messaging channels;
you can use it to:
Many organisations experience inconsistent messaging and want to transition to a value focused sales organization with client-centric driven sales messages.
Or want to create a value-driven position that clearly differentiates themselves from the competition; and in fact sales messaging is a critical part of growing a business. This is particularly relevant in the current economic climate.
Our Messaging audit will help answer questions such as;
It is a good idea to revisit your messaging criteria periodically to fine tune the assessment so that you continuously improve the quality of your sales messaging and ultimately become more successful.
As a sales manager, you are under enormous pressure and you have the feeling that your sales team could create more preference and increase their close-rates.
The large majority of sales often don't get the right value to the right prospects during sales conversations and despite all marketing collateral sales still struggle to differentiate themselves from the competition.
Customers want to know how your offering is going to add value to their business and why they have to buy from you'!
If you can't position the value, the foundation of your entire sales strategy is missing. A Messaging Playbook is the foundation for your strategy and delivers sales people the strategies, documents and other tools they need to engage with buyers.
It's a great place to bring together Sales Messaging, reference information, FAQs, training materials, presentations, market- and product information, and anything else that sales sales are likely to need.
Our core competence is to provide a repeatable method for engineering customer-ready messaging. SalesMessage 2.0 work on-site together with your sales, product marketing, marketing and management to craft world-class messaging that drives high-quality customer conversations.
Your Messaging Playbook provides knowledge to seasoned sales and gives clear direction to new hires and enables your sales what to say at each stage in the sales cycle and how to prepare compelling conversations.
Successful organisations document their success formula!
We designed an unique 'outside-in' Intuitive Message Modeling Technique® (IMMT), linking your solutions to your buyers issues. Your messaging will be designed to pre-empt competitors, is easy to understand and to remember for the customer with the result that our clients avoid to be a "me too" in their customer conversations.
We design messaging playbooks to improve customer conversions.
Are you perceiving us like our competition? I hope not! If so, how boring we must be!
The key to having more customers is providing something that no one else does and doing it better. If there is nothing different about us, then why should you buy our service? The key for having a profitable business is differentiation. And that counts for both of us!
Perhaps your initial thought might be; 'ohh no - not another sales training program' and that's correct - because you don't have time for another sales training and we all know the thick binders of materials that never get used, and sales education that doesn't stick.
Thereby 75% of Solution Selling Centric selling initiatives fail to produce results.* Our mission is mainly focussed on more effective interactions with your customers than your competitors.
