    Gap Sell Keenan #72 - Does ASG Need Gamification?

    This week on Gap Sell Keenan, we're joined by a gamification company, where Steve from Outbound Game steps in to identify and tackle potential issues within our training protocols. This episode serves as a prime example of the critical importance of understanding your customer and pinpointing the deficiencies in their environment. Without a clear grasp of the potential problem areas, it becomes increasingly difficult to conduct a focused and effective call. Tackling Discovery FatigueDiscovery fatigue takes center stage in our discussion, highlighting a prevalent issue in sales where prospects lose interest mid-call or throughout the sales process. This disengagement typically stems from two core issues: inadequate preparation by the seller and a lack of problem-focused coaching. Sellers frequently step into calls without a comprehensive understanding of their client, the client's business, and the specific challenges they face. This lack of insight often results in bland and unproductive interactions that fail to resonate with the client. Problem-Solution GapThere's a noticeable disconnect in effectively linking the problem with the appropriate solution. To effectively bridge this gap, it is crucial for sellers to dedicate time to crafting personalized profiles of their prospects. Additionally, it's imperative for leadership to precisely articulate the problems their products are designed to solve. This strategic alignment is key to avoiding misunderstandings and ensuring that the solution presented is relevant and compelling to the prospect. Refining Discovery CallsAddressing discovery fatigue isn't about curtailing the discovery process; rather, it's about refining its execution. The shift needs to move away from a transactional approach to one that is rooted in empathy and insightfulness. By adopting this perspective, discovery can become a process that not only engages the client but also provides them with valuable insights, enhancing the overall effectiveness and outcome of the sales interaction.

    Gap Sell Keenan #68 - But What's the Problem

    You’ve prospected well, you’ve set a meeting, you think it goes well, but the buyer disappears after. What happened? You botched it somewhere. A lot of sellers fail to effectively communicate and highlight the buyer’s problem. You’ve created a scenario lacking in urgency. The buyer is not going to be motivated to change, nor are they going to believe that they need whatever you’re selling.  Closed won sales are built upon understanding the buyer’s perspective. When a seller fails to highlight the buyer’s problem, it’s likely because you don’t know enough about the problems you can solve or the buyer’s situation.  You must create a sense of urgency to motivate change in a buyer. Buyers will remain in a state of complacency or continue along with the status quo believing that their current process is adequate. They may not see a reason to change, improve, or explore a new opportunity. You need to push these buyers to challenge their current assumptions and make them aware of the true costs of inaction. Not by presenting a solution, but by highlighting the magnitude of their inaction.  In this episode we see an example of that. Our seller does not highlight why Keenan and ASG should focus expansion on international markets. There is no highlight of a problem that Keenan and ASG are currently facing.
