In the area of B2B sales stra­te­gies, the­re are num­e­rous approa­ches that dif­fer depen­ding on the tar­get group, pro­duct and mar­ket situa­ti­on. Proven stra­te­gies include

  • Account-Based Marketing (ABM): This high­ly focus­sed stra­tegy ali­gns mar­ke­ting and sales acti­vi­ties spe­ci­fi­cal­ly to sel­ec­ted key accounts. ABM aims to deve­lop cus­to­mi­sed cam­paigns that address the spe­ci­fic needs and chal­lenges of indi­vi­du­al key accounts or cus­to­mer segments.
  • Value-Based Selling: Here, the value that a pro­duct or ser­vice gene­ra­tes for the cus­to­mer is at the cent­re of the sales stra­tegy. Sales staff focus on empha­sis­ing the poten­ti­al ROI (return on invest­ment) of their solu­ti­ons and how they can con­tri­bu­te to achie­ving the cus­to­mer’s busi­ness objectives.
  • Solution sel­ling: This stra­tegy empha­si­s­es the importance of under­stan­ding cus­to­mer pro­blems and deve­lo­ping cus­to­mi­sed solu­ti­ons to sol­ve them. It is about acting as a con­sul­tant who del­ves deep into the cus­to­mer’s spe­ci­fic chal­lenges in order to offer cus­to­mi­sed solutions.
