3 Understanding Customer Business Issues

The business issues or problems that motivate your customers to seek solutions using your products are crucial to understanding any sales opportunity. When you know what those issues are, you can talk to customers about product benefits that will solve them. When you don't know what they are, selling is one-way broadcasting. Understanding customer business issues will enable you to:

 
   Ø   Know the three major types of buyer pain and how to address them;

   Ø  

Communicate on your customers' terms and language, not yours; and

   Ø  

Segment aspects of pain as they affect different buyers and communicate solutions based on that knowledge.
