Financial Justification

Establish A Financial Advantage and Sell At The Executive Level

Establish A Financial Advantage and Sell At The Executive Level

Objective

Enable attendees to financially justify, develop, and present a good business case by demonstrating and quantifying the value of their products, services, and solutions to their prospects and customers.

Course Synopsis

This class helps salespeople win capital-intensive, big-ticket orders at the executive level. The user and technical influences often cannot purchase capital-intensive products or services. The decision is usually made at the executive level by the economic buyer and/or a buying committee. Decisions are made via financial justification models such as cash flow, payback, return on investment, life-cycle returns, cost of ownership, etc. Attendees are introduced to financial concepts and how to use them uniquely to cost justify their products and services.

The video recordings of the two simulated customer encounters result in meaningful personal constructive feedback. Attendees that develop and present the best business cases win The Order.
