Benefits vs. Features: The Key To Selling (On-Air Coaching)
Have you ever gotten excited about all the possibilities you see for your clients? It’s easy to want to give people everything all at once. When we get excited about our passions, we tend to toss a lot of overwhelming ideas and information on the client. You mean well, but it can be too much. Clients must be able to digest what you are presenting.
Your very own Sales Maven, Nikki Rausch, is here to offer tips, techniques, and strategies to master your sales conversations. Discover methods to place yourself in the position to thrive in business and produce true value for your audience. Today, explore the balance of benefits vs. features being the key to selling in an on-air coaching call on this episode of the Sales Maven Show.

In today’s episode, Nikki and Jen discuss strategies to give clients the information and key takeaways they actually need to say “yes” to an offer. Sales conversations early in the process should stay in the big picture more than talking about complementary tools. Nikki shares why entrepreneurs need to focus on selling the experience and the results of an offer. Getting too “in the weeds” can slow down the sales process.
