Why is value-based selling important?

A: Sales professionals often make the mistake of jumping straight into their sales pitches, but this can make prospects pull away. Value-based selling is all about understanding the needs of your prospects and focusing on the value of your products or services. It helps you build trust and ultimately win more deals.

What are good sales questions?

A: An open-ended sales question is the best option, meaning that prospects aren’t giving simple “yes” or “no” answers. They also get to the heart of the challenges that your prospects are facing and get them to see the value of your products or services.

Examples of open-ended questions include:

  • “Can you tell me more about how your company performs [process]?”
  • “How are you currently addressing [pain point]?”
  • “What happens if we don’t address [pain point] now?”
  • “Have you considered [insight]?”

By asking the right questions, you’re one step closer to winning the deal.
