Sales teams stand-out by selling with perspective and the reason is because selling has changed.

Sales teams stand-out by selling with perspective and the reason is because selling has changed.

Customers have a huge repository of varied information that is available for free, more people are involved and even the simplest of processes have become structured — all of which make buying a complex, often chaotic, political endeavour. Buyers initially valued salespeople for their availability and ability to provide product specs and pricing in a faster, simple and crisp manner.

But today, a salesperson’s value is defined differently. Customers are looking for information they can’t get from the internet or from any automated systems. That is where the role of prospective selling comes in as it offers customers something unique which is not available elsewhere. When all is said and done, only a salesperson’s integrity, patience, and problem-solving abilities can earn the trust required to carry the day.

Today’s complex B2B selling environment presents salespeople with many challenges:

Smart buyers aren't interested in quick sales, canned sales scripts, or auto-responses. Their goal is to speak to real people who can assist them in formulating a well-thought-out buying decision, and they expect the same level of support afterward.

Getting access to and gaining traction with decision makers is challenging due to layers of stakeholders and committees, often including formal purchasing functions. Risk-averse stakeholders, cautious of mistakes, seek internal support for their views. Buying decisions are made differently by every company.

While the perception exists that today’s buyer is better informed, more knowledgeable, and in control of the buying cycle, reality suggests that the overwhelming amount of publicly available information can be disorienting. Along with more alternatives to (and variations of) potential solutions coming from disparate sources, the sheer volume of information out there can muddle and cloud buyers' decision making.

How to then turn these challenges into fruitful opportunities? Follow the unique perspective selling approach with collaboration and solutions to their concerns by leading them to the northeast as shown below.
