Value added selling is one of several sales techniques that relies on building on the inherent value of a product or service. [1] By its nature the value add technique is a more flexible and customized selling approach that requires input from a defined range of average customers. This customer feedback helps sales and marketing professionals to outline value propositions that are likely to benefit the largest number of customers. [2]
