Agenda Setting
  • Agenda:
    • A set of features, position or need
    • How products and needs are positioned
  • Three agendas:
    • Customers (Needs)
    • Ours (Product Features)
    • Competitors (Product Features)
  • Goal:
    • To meet the customers needs with our agenda
    • To set land mines for the competition
3
Setting Land Mines
  • Setting up an agenda the competitors can’t follow
  • If first in the account:
    • What does the customer need
    • How do we fill that need with out agenda
    • Get the customer to buy into our agenda
      • Will need detail explanation
      • (Why we are more portable, not just we are)
  • The competition will have to respond
4
Stepping on Land Mines
  • Caught in a position of responding to competition’s  or customers agenda
  • Makes us defensive, look bad
    • Puts us in the second place position
  • Need to find source of Objection
    • Customer need?
    • Competitor Agenda
5
Objection Handling Model
  • Focus on needs not the objection
6
Be Pro-active
  • Respond to customer needs before objection
  • Position our solution to needs
  • Handle potential objection up-front
    • Makes objection less of an issue
