Smart Value Selling helps companies effectively engage with new and existing clients - driven by unique insights into their clients business priority outcomes.
Making the move to Outcome-Based Selling
It is predicted that 80% of new technology spend will sit with business buyers by 2020. These buyers don’t want to talk about product features and functions, they want to engage with companies and individuals who can explain how a proposed solution will contribute to the achievement of their priority business outcomes.
However, the majority of today’s sales organizations are not geared to easily make this shift; their processes, tools, training, and their people have all evolved in the traditional, transactional model where most customer engagement has been with IT and procurement departments. In this world, the primary focus has been on price, features, functions, and architectural alignment.

Testimonials
In connection with a turn-around in 2016, we at Sopra Steria realized that we needed professional help brushing up on our contact with potential clients. NORDIC UPSIDE designed a process that translated into a survey; SMART VALUE SELLING. This helped non sales-minded consultants to focus on the value propositions at key decision makers. NORDIC UPSIDE gave us the tools to open more doors.
I have used the expertise of NORDIC UPSIDE since 2009. First in Schneider Electric, when we were building a new global partner channel for our DCIM business, but also when going through radical transformation to digital. Then at Trifork, where I was spearheading building up a new business services venture. In Schneider Electric Karl Peter helped building up a new global partner driven sales channel. Also he helped testing key parts of our new digital business model for DCIM. The outcome of this cooperation was very successful, driven mainly by his many competences being his great knowledge of Value Selling and go-to-market for software and software in general.
