Very often we miss to demonstrate and charge for the value created through structured and professional service in the total offering to our customers. Far too often, we are simply happy with selling the products, but missing out to claim the real value contribution for the services that are securing uptime, cost avoidance and quality consistency in the end customer value chain or manufacturing processes. Knowing how to take control of that value proposition is absolutely critical for dedicated service sales when meeting the customers.
