Why Your Accounts Might Be Vulnerable To Even Your Weakest Competitor!

Posted February 22, 2021

You don’t need me to tell you that your client’s needs constantly change but;

You could probably use a reminder that your information probably isn’t as current as it should be.

Here’s why;

When we’re “courting” a potential client, we conduct a thorough needs analysis.

Sadly, for most reps, that’s the last time a thorough needs analysis takes place because;

Once the “courtship” is over, and the “marriage” begins;

We typically ask more “spec” related questions like:

Quantity

Performance Requirements

Delivery Date

Etc.

NONE of those questions give you a clear understanding of the current environment or even where things are headed so;

You base your understanding on what is “seen” and the transaction at hand or worse yet;

That needs analysis you did;

“Back in the day”!

Meanwhile . . .

If your client agrees to see your competitor, and your competitor conducts a thorough needs analysis;

Guess who has the clearer understanding of YOUR CLIENT?

Guess who has the most up to date info on YOUR CLIENT?

Guess who has the ammunition to present a more meaningful solution.

When was the last time YOU did a thorough needs analysis with ALL your accounts?

Maybe it’s time to get back in there to get a BETTER, more up to date understanding of your clients?
