Unlocking Sales Success: Beyond the Product 

 January 23, 2024

By  Tom Jackobs

Friends, if I told you the secret to skyrocketing your sales without changing your product or service, would you be interested? I’m guessing the honest answer is yes! Well, you’re in luck because that’s exactly what I want to share with you today. While we’re all busy creating amazing offerings, there’s another element that is often overlooked that has huge potential to transform your business – it’s not what you’re selling. For far too long, we solopreneurs and small business owners have focused obsessively on refining our unique value propositions while neglecting the all-important buyer experience that precedes any purchase. But no more! In this post, I’m pulling back the curtain on a new way of thinking that goes beyond features and functions to uncover deeper truths about what your ideal clients truly need from you. By the time you’re done here, you’ll be equipped with a simple shift in mindset that can take your sales to a whole new level without breaking a sweat. Let’s get started, shall we?

The Wolf of Wall Street Example

In the movie “The Wolf of Wall Street,” there’s a memorable scene where Leonardo DiCaprio challenges someone to sell him a pen. Initially, the person starts listing the pen’s features, but the real success comes when another person asks for Leo’s autograph and offers the pen. This highlights the importance of shifting from selling features to selling the benefit or result of what you’re offering.

It’s Not About the Product, It’s About the Result

If you’re selling a product or service in the health and wellness industry, it’s crucial to understand that people aren’t just purchasing fitness or wellness. They are investing in the tangible outcome, the transformative result that your exceptional product or service can deliver. By recognizing this deeper motivation, you can effectively tailor your offerings to meet their specific needs and aspirations, fostering a stronger connection with your target audience and driving long-term success.

So, the first question you should ask yourself as a salesperson is, “What is it that I’m really selling?”

Stories Create Connection

When it comes to selling your product, don’t just focus on the end result. Think about the stories it can create! Take a pen, for instance. It’s not just a writing tool; it’s a vessel for heartfelt love letters or comforting notes to those who need it. 

These stories and emotional connections make your product relatable and irresistible to potential customers. Let your creativity flow and make your product shine with the power of storytelling!

From Selling Workouts to Selling Results

I’d like to share my personal experience in the fitness industry. 

At first, I solely emphasized selling workouts and showcasing various equipment features. But, the conversion rate was disappointingly low. Then, I made a shift. Instead of focusing on the process. 

I started selling the ultimate outcome – boundless energy, a captivating appearance, and an optimized body chemistry. Guess what? My sales soared through the roof! It became crystal clear that people are captivated by the results, not just the journey. 

Tie in Client Success Stories

To further emphasize the result and what your product or service can achieve, it’s crucial to share the success stories of past clients. By showcasing how others have benefited from using your product or service, you help prospects visualize themselves achieving the same result. This visualization significantly increases their likelihood of purchasing.

Be a Game Changer 

No matter what industry you’re in, the key to sales success lies beyond the product. We’ve seen it in movies like The Wolf of Wall Street, and we’ve heard it from successful entrepreneurs—it’s not about the product itself, but the results that it can bring. It’s about creating a connection with your audience through the power of storytelling. From selling workouts to selling results, I’ve shown you how to shift your focus from features to benefits to truly hook your potential clients. And let’s not forget about the power of client success stories – they not only establish trust but also create a sense of relatability for your audience. As a game changer, it’s important to always be looking for new ways to connect with and sell to your audience. And that is why I invite you all to schedule an impact call with me today and let’s take your sales success beyond the product!
