The Challenger Sale: Taking Control of the Customer Conversation Audiobook (Free)

What’s the trick to sales success? If you’re like the majority of business market leaders, you’d state it’s fundamentally about relationships-and you would be wrong. The very best salespeople don’t simply build relationships with clients. They problem them. The need to know very well what top-performing repetitions are doing that their average performing colleagues aren’t drove Matthew Dixon, Brent Adamson, and their colleagues at Corporate Professional Board to investigate the skills, behaviors, knowledge, and behaviour that about The Challenger Sale: Acquiring Control of the client Discussion matter most for high efficiency. And what they discovered may be the largest shock to typical sales wisdom in decades.

Predicated on an exhaustive study of a large number of sales reps across multiple industries and geographies, The Challenger Sale argues that classic relationship building is usually a dropping approach, particularly when it involves offering complex, large-scale business-to-business solutions. The writers’ study found that every merchant in the globe falls into one of five unique profiles, even though many of these types of reps can deliver typical sales performance, just one-the Challenger- delivers regularly high performance.

Instead of bludgeoning customers with endless facts and features about their company and products, Challengers approach customers with unique insights about how they are able to save or make money. They tailor their product sales message to the customer’s specific needs and objectives. Instead of acquiescing towards the customer’s every demand or objection, they may be assertive, pushing back when necessary and taking control of the sale.

The things that make Challengers exclusive are replicable and teachable to the average sales rep. Once you understand how to identify the Challengers in your company, you can model their approach and embed it during your sales team. The authors explain how almost any average-performing rep, once built with the right equipment, can successfully reframe customers’ targets and deliver a unique purchase encounter that drives higher levels of customer commitment and, ultimately, better growth.
