Dealer Support Live 2021 - THE industry event for independent dealers

Where’s the milk? The lost art of product sales

Robbie Burgess, Special Projects, Integra Business Solutions

A mission for independent dealers to become the “go to” product experts whilst reviving the lost art of product sales. 

In today’s world no customer is going to stumble across a new product. They go to a search box on a website or pick up a catalogue, not to browse but to find, and they miss all the wonderful, innovative new products.

How do dealers help their customers discover these products they didn’t know existed – the solutions that will save them time, money or headaches?

How do dealers position themselves as credible experts and almost become indispensable to the customer – a bolt on service, if you will – to ensure product fulfilment is seamless, at the right price, and adding value to their business.

Before staffing levels in offices reach capacity, now is a great time to offer to take the supplies procurement responsibility from your key accounts and let them concentrate on their own business.

Take home points

  • A strategy to get new products in front of your customers.

  • How to introduce a smarter, more efficient, more profitable trading proposition with key accounts.
