3. What is Sales 2.0? More than a collection of technologies that help sales professionals personalize information for customers and interact with them rapidly, Sales 2.0 should be considered as the synthesis of new technologies, models, processes and mindsets. It is about leveraging people, process, technology, and knowledge to make significant gains. It means integrating the power of Web 2.0 and on-demand technologies with proven sales techniques to increase sales velocity and volume. It also relates to increased communication and collaboration between sellers and buyers and within the selling team, together with a proactive and visible integration of knowledge and measurement of the buying cycle into the sales cycle. It seems that Sales 2.0 truly merges sales and marketing into a seamless effort to target buyers more effectively using innovative and integrated tactics with an objective to bring in a lot more business at a lower cost. It is also about making anything and everything in the sales and marketing lifecycle measurable, so that you can take that information and resulting analysis to further optimize your sales process. More streamlined processes, together with the technologies to carry out smarter approaches, can immediately help organizations that are committed to moving their sales and marketing efforts to the next level of performance and dramatically accelerate their sales cycle By Christian Smagg , csmagg@gmail.com , www.saastream.com LinkedIn Answers http://www.adstorical.com/commercial/402/mini-cooper-bad-dad-no-haggling-required.aspx

16. So You do What? So What! Your Value Proposition must Differentiate you from other companies that customers see as similar. This is what you “go after” even though you may do more or offer items “off menu.” I use to be afraid if I focused to narrowly, that I would turn business away. Instead, I lost business because prospects could not see how my value was different from others.

17. Product Differentiation In marketing, product differentiation (also known simply as "differentiation") is the process of distinguishing a product or offering from others, to make it more attractive to a particular target market. This involves differentiating it from competitors' products as well as a firm's own product offerings. – Wikipedia Case Study: The Cheese Pizza Collective Offers 1 Unique Pizza each day Fixed Price of $20 Always Vegetarian, high-Quality ingredients All 12 Employees own the business, paid the same
