Top 5 Reasons Deals Don’t Close #4: No Pain No Sale
Manage episode 357976118 series 2924659
If you don't uncover the emotional reason to buy, it is unlikely you will get the sale.
Sales reps must ask themselves: "in my discovery process, have I gotten beyond superficial pains to gain a clear understanding of the business impact and/or the individual’s personal impact?*
How does this show up within our opportunities?
- Smaller deals or deals focused entirely on price (this for that)
- Limited scope deals
- Lost deals; notably to doing nothing
What can I do to prevent this from happening?
- Build urgency by understanding the difference between ‘symptom’ (what) & pain (why).
- Design a solution grounded on solving a customer problem / business outcome.
