Sell the way your customers want to buy

A summary by alexis james | See all summaries by alexis james

The author of this post asks the question - are you going to sell the way YOU want to sell, or the way I want to buy? The post takes something that should be obvious, but isn’t, and tells marketers what they can do about it!

Linda Lybert knows sales. I mean she really knows sales, the way a history professor knows history.

She wrote a brilliant, brief white paper about sales, titled “Are you going to sell to me the way you want to sell or the way I want to buy?”, and she was kind enough to give me a copy to distribute, for free, from my blog.

What I like most about her writing and philosophy is that she takes something that should be obvious, but isn’t, raps you gently on the forehead and says “LISTEN UP”.

In this white paper, she goes over why most businesses end up selling the way they want to, not the way their customers want to buy. She then explains how to fix it, one step at a time. And she digs deeper in a few places to help you really understand the whys and hows of it all.

Pass this around – Linda’s message is clear, and it’s important.

If you like what she has to say, drop her a line. She can, without a doubt, help you grow your business.

This is not a paid, sponsored or otherwise bribed post. Linda is dang smart and has good stuff to say. Same way I liked Chris Brogan’s Trust Agents. Hopefully we can get Linda blogging, so we’ll see more good stuff.
