Sales Keynote: The Adaptive Seller - Sell the Way Customers Buy

Too many sellers focus on the sales process…rather than the prospect’s buying process.

The world is crowded with good information. But with it, buyers are experiencing a crisis of confidence. Sorting out the “need to know” from the “nice to know” can be a daunting task. Buyers not only lack trust in today’s sellers, but they also lack trust in their own ability to make a well-informed decision. The result? Buyers often resort to coping strategies that ultimately inhibit sound decision-making. Add to that the shift to hybrid selling made necessary as a result of the pandemic, and sellers are losing their ability to communicate value, differentiate their offer, gain buyer attention, and, ultimately, drive business growth.

Given our new virtual world as well as the need to leverage new technologies, it’s time to redefine the sales process: it’s time for a new focus, new tools, and better outcomes. It’s time to adapt our selling skills (our virtual selling skills). It’s time for...The Adaptive Seller.
