Disrupting Entrenched Competitors: Overview

How often does this frustration occur? You initiate a new sales opportunity and the prospect says, “We’re happy with our existing supplier.”

Why is this? Your offer is better – even superior – to what they’re using. If only you could get the prospect to listen.

Most prospects claim they’re “satisfied” with their current suppliers. In reality, many are not. It’s a lot easier to dismiss you. Prospects want to stick with what’s comfortable — believing what they’re using now is working fine.

So, should we let them wallow in a “state of ignorance,” which could ultimately put themselves and their business at risk?

Traditional Selling Techniques Often Backfire?

Here’s the problem, the following traditional selling techniques often backfire:

  • Feature-benefit selling
  • Low-ball pricing
  • Groveling for a small piece of the business
  • Revealing a competitor’s vulnerability

By implementing these practices, prospects do the exact opposite of what you want. They are more inclined to dig in their heels and stay put — remaining with their current vendor.
