Anthony Iannarino

How to Talk to Your Sales Force About Pricing

Anthony Iannarino

When clients call to tell a salesperson they chose their competitor, much of the time they point to the fact that their competitor had a lower price , something that is sometimes true and sometimes a nice way of letting the salesperson down without having to spend time answering their questions about what they might have done better.

Anthony Iannarino
