Linking Solutions to Needs
Salespeople should strive to communicate to the
buyer . . .
• How the buyer’s needs will be met or
how an opportunity can be realized
as a result of a purchase.
• How the product features
translate, in a functional sense,
into benefits for the buyer.
• Why the buyer should purchase
from the salesperson as opposed
to a competitive salesperson.

The Importance of a “Selling Point”

A selling point is the combination of a


feature and meaningful benefit statement.

When used strategically, selling points are


powerfully persuasive because they
represent solutions addressing the buyer’s
most pressing needs.

Buying Motives

Major Buying Motives


These are the prospect’s most important concerns
and the salesperson should give them top priority.

These are peripheral concerns and the
salesperson should discuss these only after
