Sales Enablement Training

SPIN

  • This approach shifts the focus to buyer challenges and allows reps to develop the consultative customer relationships that complex deals require.​
  • SPIN selling is a sales methodology where reps organize sales calls using questions from four categories:

West on Winning (WOW)

  • Doctor story – two doctors prescribe the same medicine to the same patient but the patient listens to the one who engaged with him and listened to their problems.​
  • This is the client’s first time hearing the pitch even if it’s your 100th time selling the exact same thing. ​
  • They need to know you understand their problem and have the solution they need to be successful. ​
  • The client doesn’t know they have the same problem as everyone else. Make the conversation about them.​
  • Presenting yourself as an expert is less important than being someone that relates to and listens to our clients.

Strategic Selling

  • The Strategic Selling methodology recognizes there's no one-size-fits-all approach to sales that converts every lead into a customer. It provides a framework for analyzing buyers, coming up with a suitable strategy to convince them of a purchase, and most importantly, ensuring they come back for a repeat purchase.​
  • The Strategic Selling methodology is all about creating a Win-Win situation for both sides, sellers and buyers. Thus, salespeople must sell products that buyers would truly benefit from.

Tips for using the Brand Story - Positioning ourselves in the market place

  • You don’t have to use the whole Brand Story every time. Work bits and pieces into conversations with clients naturally. ​
  • For example: If you client or prospect mentions feeling overwhelmed by starting an audit, this would be a good place to bring up The Problem: “The problem is audits are hard because the process is complicated and feels overwhelming. But we believe if you’re going to do it, the audit should be worth it.”​
  • Use the Brand Story to help clients envision what success and failure will look like, what life will look like with and without KirkpatrickPrice. ​

Exchange Time for Value

In order to earn our prospects’ time, we must offer them something of value. ​

However, you need to earn the right to offer this stuff. Establish credibility before offering these free tools, otherwise it will feel like offering a gift card. If you create a relationship with a prospect and figure out their needs, then you can use these value propositions to leverage the meeting you want.
