Decision makers are busier and more informed than ever before—that means they don’t have time for salespeople who are unable to offer them something of real value.

Many buyers have self-identified their problem and researched available solutions before ever coming in contact with a salesperson. It’s not enough for sellers to simply present a product or service and list out features and benefits.

Successful sales professionals must position themselves as strategic advisors and consult with decision makers to understand their wants, needs, and business goals. They must adapt by learning the industry of their potential client base and using targeted, open-ended questions to uncover what the buyer values most in a solution.

Having a team of sellers capable of engaging in high-level dialogue with clients and potential customers can become your sales organization’s competitive advantage.

Teams challenged with having effective sales conversations usually have one of the following three issues:

Technical salespeople with outstanding product knowledge who fail to communicate strategic benefits and the business case for buying
Salespeople who are comfortable selling only a handful of products or offerings and fail to initiate conversations around higher-margin products or bundled solutions
Sales reps who are unable to adapt to shifts in the market such as new, lower-priced competition, or the need to sell higher into the client’s organization
Engaging in high-level dialogue with buyers requires sales reps to follow a value-based selling approach. Salespeople who focus on communicating and delivering value to prospects and customers throughout their decision-making process achieve higher success rates on a consistent and an ongoing basis.

Your salespeople need skills training to master the questioning approach and the ability to move away from sales scripts and onto business discussions that drive change.

A consultative, buyer-focused sales process like IMPACT Selling® will give your sales team the skills and the confidence to consult with decision makers, move them off status quo, and lead them to the most appropriate solution.
