Developing effective sales proposals for clients to increase opportunities for sales closure
Synopsis
​
Sales professionals often face rejections from clients after the submission of their sales proposals. One of the key reasons is the lack of understanding of the clients’ challenges, needs and wants. Sales professionals also tend to re-use standardised sales a proposal that are not customised, or tend to hard-sell certain products or services that clients do not see value of. Thus, this would lengthen the sales cycle or reduce the opportunities of a sales closure. It is imperative to apply effective sales techniques to understand clients’ situation, needs and challenges in order to propose the most relevant yet a high-value solution to them. Knowing how to draft an attractive business proposal with the clients’ needs and solution’s benefits in mind, can then help increase acceptance rates from clients and avoid massive bargaining.
