Selling to the CFO Next Webinar March 9, 2010, 2 p.m. Renaissance Executive Strategic Leaders' Series
|




Meet Michael Levine, Principal, Advantage Talent, Inc.
I’ve worked collaboratively with several hundred CFOs, and I’ve not yet met one that
wasn’t incredibly busy. I’ve also never met a CFO that can concentrate on more than
6-8 major initiatives at one time. If you are going to effectively sell to a CFO, you
have to understand their priorities before you make initial contact. You also have to
know that you have a solution to their problem that you can communicate to them
clearly and quickly.

CFO is a Position Title – Not a description of the CFO’s job
It is important for anyone selling to a CFO in these tough economic times to
understand their audience. Don't be a time waster. Take time to prequalify a
company before calling the CFO. Doing so will up your sells and increase the
chance of success. Do you make a habit of gaining commitment from ‘middle
management’ of your prospect Company to buy your product or solution, only to
have the Company fall from your pipeline because of the Company CFO’s lack of
interest? Have you been the victim of the brick wall keeping you from meeting
the CFO of your prospect Company? The image of the powerful CFO behind the
closed office door with the big ‘NO’ rubber stamp in his hand is an experience of
the past for salespeople who know how to communicate in the language of the
CFO. CFOs speak the language of Value and Priorities. Have you learned how to
speak their language? Salespeople who communicate with CFOs from the same
perspective close deals. Register for Selling to CFOs and learn how to
communicate with CFOs and have them buy from you.

In this Webinar you will learn:
Why selling to the CFO is important
How to find out what CFOs like to buy, and why
When is the best time to sell to the CFO
How to gain access to the CFO
What are the biggest mistakes salespeople make when trying to sell to the
CFO (and how to avoid them)
By learning and putting these skills to work, you will have a distinct advantage in
the marketplace for your products/services. Learn how to leverage these skills
for bigger commission checks.
