VALUE

How to talk about what you do so people want to buy it

Do you ever miss out on business you deserve to win? Or struggle to explain what you offer to prospective customers? Winning new business isn’t easy, but in order to succeed you must be clear about the true value you offer so that people actually want to buy what you are selling.

This book provides a practical guide to help convey your commercial value to new and existing customers.

“I just read your book Value from cover to cover. It is a wonderful book, clear, funny, compassionate and packed full of ... value!

As I turned the pages, I felt like you were speaking precisely to my dilemma and that, instead of looking outside of myself for answers, I found in your words a guide to take me back to what I know and find its value.

You are a genius. At a time of the year when sales are somewhat slow, this has rebooted me completely. And it just helped me to win an $8K contract!”

Kath Walters, Author, Speaker, Trainer, Mentor
