Gap Selling
The show is kicked off with Tibor explaining the concept of value in sales as a precursor to finding the gap.
“A whole bunch or segment doesn’t see itself as having a problem situation. So the way I define it specifically is moving the customer from where they are right now, towards their objectives.” – Tibor Shanto
The show is wrapped up with Tibor explaining the importance of talking about enabling the objectives of your prospect, rather than solving a problem they did/didn’t know they had.
“[In sales] I don’t really think things have changed quite as much as people like to pretend they have” – Tibor Shanto
Tibor and Will also cover –
- The problem in salespeople defining value, when it’s prospect that has the problems not us
- How to review your deal pipelines
- What ‘the gap’ actually is
- The importance of talking in objectives not problem solving
