The Bottom Line
According to McKinsey, a top performing salesperson in the upper quartile is almost 15 times more productive than an average performer.
To outperform their peers, top salespeople consistently link their solution to their buyer’s top priorities in a way that makes sense for their customer’s unique situation, culture, and budget.
Unfortunately, even some of the most experienced sales people have difficulty making the transition from selling products and transactions to selling more complex and customer-centric solutions.
Sales forces are most often asked to make the transition when they face increasing revenue, deal size, margin, pricing, sales cycle, customer, and competitive pressures that are forcing them to change how they play the game.
Changing the game usually means ensuring that your sales strategy, sales culture, and sales talent are aligned to call higher, differentiate your offerings, act more consultative, and add more customer value during the buying process with target accounts.
