Probably not. If you did, I think you’d be “out of step” with your prospect.
Instead of concentrating on his needs it may appear you're only concerned about
your needs and your goals.
Another example. If your prospect said to you:
“I just got fired from my job. I hate working for other people. I want to start my own business.
I’m willing to work 80 hours a week to build some freedom into my life.”
What would you answer? Would you say:
“Our amino acids are picked from under rocks in China and processed to the highest quality standards by a long-term pharmaceutical manufacturer.”
Again, you would be focusing on your needs and goals and not the prospect’s needs and goals.
It’s easy to understand which is better to lead with, the product or the opportunity, when we apply common sense to our business.
But what about opportunity meetings where many prospects are in attendance? What should I lead with then?
Why not include both product and opportunity in your meeting?
You can’t customize your presentation like you can when you are with a single prospect, so make sure to include both views in your meeting.
The bottom line is this. Stop thinking about yourself and start thinking about helping the prospect.
This makes the “lead with the product or opportunity” debate easy to solve.
