Crash course · €200 per participant

One month to a better answer.

Four coached sessions, one to one, in each salesperson's own language. We hear where they start, build the answer with them, and listen again at the end. If the answer has not improved, you get your money back.

Session 1, the first question

“Why should I even consider buying from you, when your competitors offer lower prices?”

Small, quick and measured.

The crash course is where most teams start: a month, a handful of short calls per person, and a clear before and after. Enough to hear the difference, and to decide what comes next with real evidence in front of you.

The gap

Why teams start here

The price question comes up in every deal, and the answers your team gives sound like everybody else's.
You want to know if practice coaching works for your people before you commit to a season.
A campaign or a price increase is coming, and the team needs a steady answer before it starts.

What actually changes

The same question, four sessions apart

This is what a month of practice changes: not what people know, but what comes out of their mouth when a customer pushes on price.

Session 1

A typical first answer

“Well, we are a premium brand, our quality is better and our service is really good. And if price is the issue, I am sure we can find something for you if you order this month.”

Every word of it is true, and none of it is a reason to pay more. It ends with a discount nobody asked for.

Session 4

The same salesperson, a month later

“I understand we are not the cheapest. If you look at what it costs you over the next few years, the picture changes. 1What we often hear from customers with simpler systems is that small faults go unnoticed until the line stops, and a stop costs them a full shift. 2Ours reports a change in temperature or vibration before it becomes a fault, and a customer of ours in your sector went from nine unplanned stops a year to two. 3So the price is a little higher, and what you get for it is fewer stops and a lower cost per year.4”

  • 1Reflex start: faces the price calmly and turns to value, with no arguments yet.
  • 2Potential problem: what goes wrong with a weaker offer, without naming a competitor.
  • 3Positive difference: the solution, with a detail and a customer who has seen it.
  • 4Value summary: what the customer gets for the money, in their terms.

What we listen for

Eight criteria, from the first session

The same eight criteria as Bob, the toolbox and the e-learning. The coach notes which ones each answer meets in the first session and in the last, so you see the change per person and for the group.

The answer

Reflex start

Faces the price calmly and turns to value. No defence of the price, and no arguments yet.

Potential problem

What goes wrong for customers who choose a weaker offer, and what it costs them. Never a bad word about a named competitor.

Positive difference

The solution to that problem, with a detail that shows how it works or a customer who has seen it.

Value summary

Adds it up in the customer's terms: what they get for the money, and why it is worth more than the difference in price.

How it is said

Credible details

Specific enough that a consultant who has never seen your product could not have said it.

Calm and confident

No hesitation at the price, no apologising, no rushing to fill the silence.

Clear and structured

Easy to follow: each point leads to the next, and the customer hears where it is going.

To the point

The whole answer in about two minutes, while the customer is still listening.

How it runs

Four sessions, one month

Each session is a short call on Teams, one to one, with a coach who speaks your salesperson's language. Every session ends with them saying the answer out loud again.

Week 1

Intro interview

The coach asks about their market, their customers and their competitors, then asks the question cold. That first answer is the starting point.

  • What they sell, and to whom
  • The question, with no warning
  • Which criteria the first answer meets
Week 2

The four steps

A short value selling quiz on the structure of a strong answer, then the answer again with the four steps in mind.

  • Reflex start, problem, difference, value
  • Why the problem comes before the solution
  • The answer again, out loud
Week 3

The reflex start

The first thirty seconds, practiced until they are automatic: facing the price calmly and turning to value without arguing yet.

  • Three or four rounds of the opening
  • No defence of the price, no discount
  • The full answer once more
Week 4

The value argument

The full answer with credible details from their own products and customers. The coach listens against all eight criteria again.

  • Details a competitor could not copy
  • A value summary in the customer's terms
  • Which criteria are met now, against week 1

What you get as a manager

Evidence, not attendance sheets

  • Criteria met, before and after
    For each salesperson and for the group: which of the eight criteria their answer met in session 1, and which in session 4.
  • A comment per person
    What the coach heard, where they would like more, and what to practice next. Written, so it can be used in a one to one.
  • Their own answer
    Each salesperson leaves with an answer that is theirs, built from their own products and customers.
  • A survey at the end
    Did they feel they improved? Their own view, next to what the coach heard.
“We ran a six-month value selling coaching programme with Teknosell for our truck salespeople and saw a clear pattern: salespeople who practised key skills every week sold more trucks.”

Questions

Before you ask

What is the Why Buy crash course?

One month of value selling coaching: four one to one sessions in which each salesperson builds and practices their answer to the question every customer asks, why should I buy from you?

What does it cost?

€200 per participant, excluding VAT.

What if the answer does not improve?

You get your money back. The coach listens to the answer in the first session and again in the last, against the same eight criteria.

How is the answer judged?

Against eight criteria: four for what is said (the reflex start, a potential problem, the positive difference and a value summary) and four for how it is said. The coach writes what they heard and what to practice next. Nobody gets points.

Which languages?

More than 30, on Teams, with a native-speaking coach for each salesperson.

Can we try it first?

Yes. Salespeople can start free in the Value Selling Portal: a short e-learning, Bob the AI customer, and one free practice session with a coach in their own language. It is the same question the crash course starts with.

What comes after it?

Most teams go on to the Value Selling programme, or to Advanced Value Selling to put a number on the value.
