Stories Sell More
With sales quotas growing and competition heightened, your sales teams need a secret weapon.
The pressure on sales teams to grow topline revenue has never been stronger. Customers and prospects have increased expectations from their suppliers, while the number of buying committee influencers and approvers continues to grow. These trends are lengthening sales cycles and making them more complex to navigate. At the same time, market competition is heightened, while sales team budgets are constrained.
All of these factors increase the need for stronger and differentiated sales skills that more clearly and quickly set you apart from your competition and establish your stronger value proposition as the one best suited for a prospect’s challenges.
Centering your marketing and sales on client-centric stories attracts more qualified buyers, closes more sales, and closes them more quickly.
Nearly nine out of ten business buyers say they are more likely to purchase from a company when the organization understands their goals, according to Salesforce.com’s 2023 State of the Connected Customer report. Yet only TWO out of FIVE buyers say most sales reps take the time to learn about their company and their goals.
This disconnect exists primarily because sales training and the materials organizations provide producers overwhelmingly focus on products and services, ignoring the narrative creating a customer’s needs.
This is where the power of storytelling makes a difference. We combine the foundational concepts of Challenger Inc.’s time-tested sales methods within a storytelling framework to train new and seasoned sales reps to improve each stage of their sales pipeline, including:
sales lead qualification
client/prospect research
value story creation
objection handling
creating a sense of urgency
closing
renewal/follow-up purchases
Stand apart.
