Course overview

Gap selling’s all about figuring out the gap between where a customer currently is and where they want to be in the future. Questions are used to explore this and develop a dialogue with the customer. It’s a problem-centric approach to sales, designed to help your salespeople meet the customer’s true needs. Because before they can solve a problem, them and the customer need to get to the root of what it is. 

Gap selling allows your salespeople to use their expertise effectively, by gaining a deep understanding of a customer’s unique situation. They’ll collaborate to discover their true problem, which will help them build trust. And all the discoveries they make together will create a more satisfactory outcome for your salespeople and their customers.
