Understand the Problems
In today’s buyer centric market prospects don’t care about you or your product/service, they only care about solving their business problems or achieving a business goal.
That means sales professionals need to understand the business drivers for the opportunity.
Boxxstep enables you to capture and manage the information you need to know, including business problems, symptoms, impact, who’s affected and root cause.
It helps the salesperson focus on what’s important and the sales leader to see that their team know what they need to know to be successful.
Understand the Process
The prospects buying process is not linear, its chaotic.
The buyer-centric sales professional needs to help and advise the prospects buyer team through it.
Don’t assume that members of the buyer team won’t need support, they will. The more you understand what has to happen in their organisation, the more you are positioned to provide relevant information, ideas and solutions from working with other companies similar to them.
Boxxstep enables you to capture and track the decision-making and buying process.
Understand the People
Buyer teams are now much bigger, so sales professionals need to identify and engage with more people.
Consensus and committee based decision making also means that it’s no longer about just focusing on decision makers or C level contacts. Everyone contributes to who wins the deal.
Different people, with different roles, responsibilities, challenges, criteria, concerns, priorities and so on.
Boxxstep enables you to capture and track what’s important to each of them. The more you know about the buyer team, the more you can help them.
