Why Now
Because your prospects should have been customers yesterday
The phone rings. “Michael. People are interested in our product. We make masses of offers! And then … nothing. Radio silence.” I answer with one question, “Why should a customer buy from you today? Why now?” If radio silence then follows, too, it indicates that the sales pitch isn’t right – a problem Michael Humblet sees recurring in 90% of the companies he helps scale.
Why Now
Waarom je prospecten van gisteren eigenlijk al klant hadden moeten zijn
De telefoon gaat. “Michael. Mensen zijn geïnteresseerd in ons product. We maken massa’s offertes! En dan… Niks. Radiostilte.” Ik antwoord met één vraag: “Waarom moet een klant vandaag van jou kopen? Waarom nu?” Als er dan ook radiostilte volgt, dan wijst dat erop dat het verkoopsverhaal niet goed zit — een probleem dat Michael Humblet ziet terugkomen bij 90% van de bedrijven die hij helpt schalen.
