1. 5 Reasons to Move
Beyond Selling
Benefits and Features

2. 1. Leads already know about your features
and benefits.
If they don’t, they’re not your target. Your time is too valuable to waste on clueless clients.
3. 2. Leads have more problems than they
know how to solve.
They need to know how you can help them, not why they should buy your product.
4. 3. Leads are too busy to listen to your pitch.
Don’t drone on about your topic. Listen, and offer solutions.
5. 4. Leads don’t care about you.
They care about themselves, and their problems, not you and your product.
6. 5. Solutions are more marketable.
Reframe your sales pitch and sell solutions instead of products. You’ll sell more that way.
7. Teach people how your
product will help solve
their problem.
It’s a simple sales shift that will seriously
impact your sales.
