Porque o vendedor faz do preço o factor decisivo

Um excelente texto que devia ser lido por muito boa gente nas nossas PMEs, "Your Price is Too High! How to Handle this Most Common Sales Objection".

Gosto particularmente de:

"I promise that it is almost NEVER about price. But, if it is, here is what probably went wrong.  You jumped right to what you were selling instead of focusing on the issue they needed to solve.  You failed to engage the customer in a discussion about their past experiences in similar projects. You did not share stories about issues other clients faced that you helped to solve. In short, you did not do anything to help you stand out from the competition. So, you reinforced the customer’s initial belief that you were just selling a commodity.
...
Ask yourself what percentage of deals do you win when you don’t have a chance to discuss the project with the customer in advance.  If the number is less than 10%, then make a decision to not bid those projects unless you can have a conversation with the customer.  If you think the number is greater than 10%, then you might be kidding yourself. In most cases, we discover that companies win less than 5% of pursuits they chase without prior customer interaction.
.
How Can You Improve the OddsFight for that opportunity to speak with the customer. Can you provide the best advice to them if you have to respond without any additional information?  Of course you cannot. It is in both your best interest and your client’s that you ask thoughtful questions to determine if there is a fit between their situation and what you offer.
The key, however, is to make an honest assessment. You just might learn that you are not the best alternative. In that case, let them know: “In this situation, we may not be the best solution. Would you be upset if we declined to participate?”  You might be surprised at how quickly you get invited to the party for the next opportunity."

 Acredito que muitas vezes o preço é o factor decisivo, porque o vendedor faz do preço o factor decisivo.

Quantos vendedores interagem com o potencial cliente, para realmente perceber qual é o desafio que ele tem pela frente, em vez tentarem vender a "solução" que têm na prateleira?
