Today on The Closers Inner Circle Podcast Ben Gay III and Denise Griffitts discuss the pitfalls of the cheapest price model in sales. Join us as we open up The Closers Pt 2 to page 253.

In the ever-competitive world of sales, many professionals find themselves trapped in the mindset that the only way to succeed is by offering the lowest prices. However, this approach is not only unsustainable but also fails to recognize the true value that customers seek. Instead of engaging in a race to the bottom, successful salespeople understand the importance of selling quality service, commitment to the customer, and building value into every sale.

While it may seem tempting to undercut competitors by offering the lowest prices, this strategy often leads to a downward spiral. Customers who solely prioritize cost over quality and service are likely to switch to the next lowest bidder, creating a cycle of diminishing profits and eroding customer loyalty. Additionally, this approach forces businesses to cut corners, compromising the quality of their products or services, ultimately leading to dissatisfied customers and a tarnished reputation.

Successful salespeople understand the importance of selling quality service, commitment to the customer, and building value into every sale.

No matter what sales terminology a business uses - cancelled orders, abandoned carts, or something else entirely - the end result is the same: lost revenue. Every cancelled transaction represents a prospective customer who was interested enough to initiate a purchase but failed to complete it for one reason or another. These missed opportunities can quickly add up, hindering a company's growth and profitability. Minimizing cancelled orders should be a key priority for any business seeking to maximize sales and boost their bottom line. Identifying the root causes through customer feedback, then implementing strategies to remove friction from the buying process, can help recapture a significant portion of that lost income potential.

“No one wants to hear the truth about how the very best professional salespeople got there and stay there, but here it is. They have continued to learn. They pick up a piece here and there. They read books. They listen to tapes. They go to the seminar. They take notes. They try new ideas and discard old ones. They are constantly growing, learning, and evolving. And they’ve come to understand that there is absolutely no graduation day for a true professional salesperson.”  – Ben Gay III
