How do Case Studies help sales?
Case Studies help sales by providing your prospect with proof of your expertise.
Once you are confident in your messaging, Value Proposition, ability to deliver and the results that can be achieved, then selling becomes easier and fun.
Selling becomes even easier when you don’t have to provide all that information yourself, but when your customer Case Studies convey that on your behalf.
So you can relax in sales pitches, knowing that your delighted customers’ stories precede you. You can stay focused on how to help your prospect rather than whether you’ll make the sale.
One IT company I spoke to had lost a big contract because on the day of the final pitch they got nervous and thought they had to present themselves as more ‘corporate’ – something they definitely weren’t.
In fact their prospect had put them through to the final selection process because they liked how natural and non-corporate they were.
But when nerves set in, and without any customer Case Studies to prove their value, they blew the opportunity by trying to be something other than they were.
Gutting.
