1. Value-Based Sales & Pricing (VBS)
Value-Based Sales is not just another sales ‘program’ disguised with different vocabulary to sound unique (we won’t call them out here, but all washers have a ‘spin’ cycle). It’s unique because it is a strategy, not a program. VBS takes terms such as investigative sales or consultative sales and pushes them one or two steps further – to monetizing value. Once monetized, pricing discussions become an afterthought – not a central focus.
The other significant difference between our strategy and the others is that you must have a thorough understanding of what you are selling with VBS before you even start the questioning process. Or, more appropriately, you must understand what your customers are buying (hint: this likely has little to do with any actual product or service).
Just as in consultative or investigative sales, asking questions and genuinely listening to answers – answers that will drive additional questions – is critical to success. Once you understand the root cause of your prospect’s problem(s), your job is to craft the best solution possible using your company’s core strengths (i.e., what you are selling).
That’s where most ‘processes’ stop – you’ve developed your value proposition; go get the order! VBS is different; we take it to the next step and monetize that value. Once you’ve been able to help your customer see the value in real, tangible terms, they literally ‘close themselves.’ You then have the power to choose higher margins or a more balanced approach – you are in control!
The hidden key to success with this strategy is developing a relationship with your customer based upon trust. The inability to do so is where most failures occur. Customers can tell if you are genuinely interested in solving their issues or if you’re just going through the process to get to an order. After asking a question, your number one priority is to listen – genuinely listen. Don’t start thinking about your response or go through product/service knowledge to develop a solution – there will be time enough for that later. No matter how good an actor you think you are, customers can tell almost immediately if you are genuinely listening.

Train existing team to get to the next level
Perhaps you have a junior team, or you are onboarding a new rep – we can start with the very basics (such as sales cycles) and develop your talent from there. As all our sales training focuses on what the customer is buying, it doesn’t matter if you are a manufacturer or a service provider – your customer is buying solutions to problems.
If you have an existing team underperforming or looking to get to the next level, our complete training program will:
1. Comprehensive sales audit of your existing team
- Two online assessments
- Hour-long interviews with each team member and appropriate management
2. Based on the assessments and interviews, we will develop a customized training curriculum based on the following program:
- Understanding the sales cycle
- Prospecting and territory management
- Opening the sales call
- What to ask and how to listen
- Presenting solutions and overcoming objections
- Developing clients for life

We at Choose Growth recognize the immense value of coaching for all of our training programs. Sales is far too dynamic to go from the classroom to the world without requiring some support along the way. These sessions are generally 1 hour/week for a period of 3 months, but we can create a customized schedule for your situation and needs. Our coaching sessions help your team work through real-world cases and learn how to apply their knowledge and resources in a constantly changing environment.
