Stop with the 4-letter Words!
| |
| CIOs and BU executives are businessmen. So stop with the argument that they want technical sales information. They have to justify their 'business' just like every other executive. Trust me, they are not discussing 4-letter techno words in their executive meetings. |

Are There Differences Between B2B and B2C Transactions in Terms of Customer Satisfaction (A PI Q&A)
| |
| Reader Question:
Which components determine customer (dis)satisfaction in a B2B and B2C environment, and what are the greatest differences between these two environments concerning customer (dis)satisfaction?
My Response:
This is an extremely broad question as there are numerous elements that contribute to customer satisfaction.
Given that we are discussing an electronic transaction, in which automation is a core element, the key to automating any process is to “free the data from the document.” According to Bankers Online (http://www.bankersonline.com/), true electronic transactions (including approvals) are 75% less expensive than a paper-based process.

How do I deal with client objections?
| |
| Many sales people will tell you one of the biggest worries in sales, besides prospecting, is dealing with customer objections. Its true many people do not like dealing with objections or conflict, however, it is also true that many people unintentionally create objections and conflict by not understanding a customer’s real needs or priorities and failing to find common ground.
In my opinion ‘overcoming objections’ is often blown out of proportion in terms of the issue it claims to be. Too much time and attention is spent on objections in sales meetings and sales training rather than focusing on the skills and resources needed to help sales people eliminate objections from the sales process in the first place. |
