People Don’t Want Print. So How Do We Sell It?
Nobody needs print any more
That’s the word on the street these days. Anybody in the printing industry knows that this is completely wrong. We all know that print gets results. But we need to convince our prospects and customers of this.
But selling print isn’t going to win new customers if they don’t think much of print in the first place. If we want to win new customers, we need to think about what interests them.
What challenges are your prospects and customers facing?
It’s not whether they can find better quality print. It is rarely the fact that they need better service from their suppliers. They have much more important things to think about, such as how do I get more customers, how do I improve repeat business, how do I reduce my overheads?
If you talk to them about these issues, they are much more likely to listen. Print can solve all of these problems and more. It’s time to change the tone of the conversation.
