Value-added selling is a proactive philosophy. Value added salespeople take the initiative to add value. Value added salespeople do not wait for the customer to complain about the price and then say, “Hold on a minute while I whip some value-added selling on you!” Value added salespeople build more value in on the front end so that price becomes less of an issue on the back end. Being proactive with customers means you never have to say you’re sorry.
