Here are 3 key takeaways you don’t want to miss:🔑 Demonstrate Product Usage: Ensure you understand how the buyer would use your product if given free access today. Avoid a mere product tour by focusing 80% on primary differentiators that provide specific value to the customer.
🔑 Address Trust Issues Early: Buyers often distrust that reps understand their industry or role. Build credibility by starting your discovery with a well-researched hypothesis of value specific to the buyer’s role and industry.
🔑 Empower the "No": Create a non-pressure environment by asking if continuing the discussion is worthwhile, emphasizing mutual fit. This honest approach builds trust by showing you are invested in meaningful deals only.Connect with your hosts:
