Sales calls got easier when price stopped being the first thing shown
A company selling a mid-priced tool at $300 to $900 per month usually closed deals on a call. The old sales call used the public page, but looked straight at the largest number and started defending their budget before they understood what they would get. The conversation became about cost first, not value. The team changed the call to use a short four-slide presentation instead.
The first slide states the customer’s problem in the customer’s own words from the . The second slide shows what solving that problem is roughly worth using the customer’s own numbers. The third slide shows the plan that fits, including the price. The fourth slide shows what will happen in the first 30 days.
Prices stayed the same and there was no discounting, but reacted less sharply because the price appeared after the value was clear. This only works when the is real; if the problem is guessed, the customer can tell. The public page stayed available for buyers.
