Fred Copestake's book #SellingThroughPartneringSkills is essential reading if you are going to establish yourself as a viable long term supplier to your customers. Showing up as a talking catalogue in a suit or worse, doing a drive by shooting whenever a renewal conversation is due was never good but now makes you look and feel like a dinosaur. Your days are long gone and you deserve to be extinct. Customers deserve better. They expect better. They expect salespeople to bring value, to co-develop products and services, to help solve problems and behave like true partners. If you are doing less than this you haven't even made it past the "I should bloody hope so" line that Simon Bowen talks about. Partnering is the minimum level of expectation customers should be demanding from their vendors and is the baseline we as suppliers should be delivering to customers and prospects. Our job is to help them get the jobs that need to done completed effectively, efficiently and correctly. We have to help them through their struggling moments, to get ahead of problems and achieve their strategic objectives.
