Let me tell you a story...

A story of how your buyer has fundamentally and permanently changed:

  • Overloaded

    • Forced to do-more-with-less
    • Dealing with hundreds of vendor e-mails & calls each week
    • Granting less time for vendors & purchase decisions
    • Not waiting for your call or e-mail
  • Skeptical

    • More risk averse than ever
    • Tired of traditional / product focused sales & marketing pitches
    • Unwilling to engage unless you offer personalized & compelling insight
  • Frugal

    • Only change if the “cost of doing nothing” + benefits of change greatly outweigh cost of change
    • Waiting for you to step in with the messages & tools to justify change

Frugalnomics is in Full Effect. Fight Back!

How does Frugalnomics impact your Sales & Marketing Effectiveness?

up to 60%sales opportunities stuck at "Do Nothing"SBI

90%of buyers stay at status quo because they can't see quantified reason to change IDC

2/3of buyers don't have the tools needed to justify the value of changeIDC

Your prospect will stick with “Do Nothing” unless they can see a quantified reason to change: that there is a significant “cost of doing nothing”, and that your solution represents significant business value and competitive advantage.

You have to convince your prospect that they have an issue worth addressing; that the issue if not addressed has significant costs & risks.

You need to quantify:

  • Why Change?
  • Why Now?
  • Why You?
So how do you Get from “Do Nothing” to “Yes”?
