The $$$ is in making X task easier.
When a customer buys something from you, s/he is performing a task, so it makes sense to make it easier.
I was just reading this (part 2 of a series) The Worst Question a Salesperson Can Ask and these paragraphs resonated so much with this threat:

In a survey of more than 5,000 business customers, we found that of all of the possible factors that could drive customer loyalty — including brand, product and service quality, and price-to-value ratio — by far the biggest driver is something most companies don’t even think about: the sales experience, accounting for 53% of the overall total. [emphasis mine]
Customer loyalty, it turns out, is more a function of how you sell than what you sell. Specifically, customers reward suppliers who “offer unique and valuable perspectives on the market” and “educate them on new issues and outcomes.”

Although the sales experience involves the whole process IMO, including anything that happens post-sale!
