		<description>Michael,

This has provided deep insights as far as Enterprise Sales is concerned. I would really appreciate to see any article which talks about B2B Software Sales Performance Goals. Could you help me out with it. 

Thanks.</description>

		<description>Tanat, 

The selling process is designed around what ever it takes to get the buyer to take the steps you want them to take. 

By definition, that means you must create or show value to the customer (unless you are not in a free market, in which case you are dealing in terms of using force, not value, so none of this applies). 

So, to answer your question, in principle, the problem is the same, and the solution is the same. You have to present the customer (the market) with information and offers that are congruent with their expectations and their wants. 

Luxury buyers who are motivated by emotion or brand loyalty will respond to communications and offers that reinforce or augment that appeal, and not respond well to things that are incongruous. 

The vast differences in sales processes are accounted for by the vast differences in the motivations of prospects and customers - what they want and why they want it. You must speak the language of your customer, literally and figuratively. 

Hope that helps.
