2. Spec Specials !
• Use specials to set the specification apart from other competitors !
• Do what others can’t do !• Specials often don’t need to be discounted as
deeply as standard product - since there may not be a direct competitive comparison.
![Page 14: SELLING SHORTER MAXIMIZING YOUR AND KI’s PROFITABILITY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d555503460f94a33725/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
3. SSN – Sell Specials @ Net With Specials …
• There is no need to use standard discounting practices !• There is no need to show a discount – just Net it out !• Don’t sell discounts – sell solutions. • Tell them that you built it up from cost. • Sometimes there is nothing a customer can compare to –
that’s ok… and its also its ok to make a little extra profit on a special !!

4. Negotiate the true value of the services !
