Ready to Sell Smarter? Discover the Power of Proper Qualification!
Before delivering a successful demo, thorough discovery is essential. While it’s tempting to jump straight to showing off your product, understanding the client’s needs is key. Lack of proper discovery often frustrates sales teams, leading to ineffective demos. To address this, the VP of presales suggests emphasizing discovery in the sales process. By focusing on understanding the client’s goals and critical business issues, demos can be tailored to their needs. The article also highlights the importance of selling discovery to both internal and external stakeholders. It suggests using a vision generation demo as a ‘give to get’ approach, sharing relevant client experiences to prompt further discussion. Overall, prioritizing discovery leads to more efficient sales processes and better outcomes.
Sales success hinges on smart qualification and discovery processes. To drive this point home, presales teams should highlight how these practices boost win rates and sales effectiveness. Strategies include encouraging early sharing of information, shifting from selling to assisting buyers, and ensuring demos are well-prepared with ample discovery. Setting clear support levels between presales and sales management, emphasizing client-tailored solutions, and using tools like ‘RFDs’ for deeper discussions can also enhance outcomes. Positioning discovery as a value-adding ‘process audit’ and offering resources like ‘RFP Templates’ further demonstrate the benefits of thorough discovery.
