Sales Optimization

Do you know why your customer buys?

YOU SHOULD

Selling means shaping decisions. So, it is good to know what criteria different customers use to make decisions. It allows you to meet each customer individually. And bring them straight to the conclusion.

Ein guter Verkäufer achtet auf zwei Dinge: Was will der Kunde? - Vocatus Pricing & Selling

Call center & shop

It is not just about the product

A good salesman pays attention to two things: What does the customer want? And how does the customer decide? He then systematically and dynamically selects those arguments that are optimal for this particular type of customer (GRIPS type). The result: shorter conversations, higher conversion rate, increased customer satisfaction. And better employee satisfaction.

Kunden wollen nicht entscheiden. Sie wollen entschieden gemacht werden - Vocatus Pricing & Selling

Website & Apps

A website is not a shop window
Customers do not want to decide. They want their decisions to be made. A website is an ideal platform to determine the customer’s needs and then present them with a tailor-made offer instead of many confusing options. The result: higher conversion rates and more sales per customer.

We will show you how to identify decision-making structures and recognize the criteria your business partners use to make a choice. If you understand decision-makers, you’ll benefit from increased sales and achieve higher margins.
Bei Printwerbung und Mailings ist der Schlüssel zum Erfolg - Vocatus Pricing & Selling

Mailings & Print

Don't (just) mention the price
When it comes to print advertising and mailings, the key to success is to address the most important arguments for the most common types of customers in your market, rather than focusing on a single issue such as price or discount. That way, you don’t just target bargain hunters. The result: higher response rates and more sales.

Der Schlüssel für Nachhaltigkeit im Vertrieb - Vocatus Pricing & Selling

Incentives

What incentive does your employee have?

The key to sustainability in sales is to consistently align the incentive systems for employees with the sales strategy. If sales are incentivized, and discounts are not sanctioned, the result is predictable: high sales with low margins. Is that really what you want?

“From top management to agent-level, we are astonished about the improvement and increases we are now able to reach sustainably.”
