Asparagus berries
AH! But you can have too much product knowledge :-((
Percy Whiting in his great book "The Five Great Rules of Selling" gives a wonderful example of this of where a Salesman was losing accounts when he learnt too much of how a thing worked and bored the pants of his prospective customers instead of just what it did!! What will it do for me? Is all that is wanted in selling!! Well,....... almost ;-) Mike A timely reminder! Years ago on a marketing course I was taught to sell "benefits" not "features". However, it is so easy to slip into the trap you mentioned. I was just thinking about a website I am going to design, promoting some software I'd written recently. The problem being of course my detailed knowledge about all the wonderful details of how the software works and all it's technical features. The design I had in mind would have "bored the pants off prospective customers" instead of teasing them to buy because of "what it can do for them". David. |
