Gap Sell Keenan

This happens all the time on sales calls – we’re doing a discovery and we get flustered when the buyer doesn’t have a problem or an apparent “need” for our product. Rather than remaining calm and using our brains to try and find another angle we default to a product pitch. 

Salespeople have a tendency to do 2 things when they get stuck – 1. Focus on a technical problem the buyer has mentioned and try to sell to that or 2. Start pitching how great the product is. 

Stick to your method, continue to search for large business problems that the client can solve using your product. 

Show notes:
6:59 – You need to find a problem
10:00 – You need to stay away from product pitches when you get trapped
11:15 – Self diagnosing questions hurt because your buyer may not know their limitations
13:15 – Stay out of the future state
14:50 – If you’ve done your research on your market then you should know the questions to ask!
20:07 – Pay attention to everything your buyer says, you may find problems you can solve in the future
20:42 – Are close ended questions effective tools in a sales call or can they get you in trouble?
