What is discounting?

Discounting is a modern selling tactic that has become increasingly popular in recent years. By offering a reduced price on your product or service, you can incentivize sellers to make a purchase and close the deal. 

However, it’s important to use discounting strategically and not just as a knee-jerk reaction to a difficult sale. Consider the value that your product or service provides, and be mindful of how much you can afford to discount without damaging your profit margins. When used correctly, discounting can be an effective way to build relationships with sellers, demonstrate your commitment to their success, and close more deals.

What is personalization?

Personalization has become a buzzword in the sales world, and for good reason. With the rise of technology and access to vast amounts of data, salespeople can now tailor their approaches to individual sellers more effectively than ever before. But personalization goes beyond just using the right data. It’s about understanding the unique needs, pain points, and goals of each seller and delivering a message that speaks directly to them.
