Sales Challenger™ Training
It's How You Sell, Not What You Sell.
How you sell matters far more than what you sell.
In a study conducted by the Sales Executive Council, 53% of what drives customer purchase decisions is the quality of the sales interaction itself. Not your brand, value, nor price.
What customers want from your sales reps is not to buy your products, but rather to understand how your offerings can help them to compete in the marketplace. This relies heavily on your reps ability to challenge the customer’s assumptions by Teaching the customer something new about their business, Tailoring the message for resonance, and Asserting Control during the sales process. As documented by the Sales Executive Council, these reps – known as Challengers™ are 4X more likely to be high-performers.
