Hey Gap Sellers! Welcome to episode 61 of Gap Sell Keenan! This is a real LIVE sales call with a real sales professional. Today is Nick with Melt Studio.
Be empathetic towards your buyer's challenges. Customer-centricity and problem-centricity are the future of sales and marketing. As a salesperson you want to build trust and rapport through being able to relate and have an in depth conversations about your buyer, their environment, and the problems they’re facing. You want to become a trusted advisor. If a customer feels that you truly understand their needs and the problems they are facing they are far more likely to lean on you when they need help.

This happens all the time on sales calls – we’re doing a discovery and we get flustered when the buyer doesn’t have a problem or an apparent “need” for our product. Rather than remaining calm and using our brains to try and find another angle we default to a product pitch.
Salespeople have a tendency to do 2 things when they get stuck – 1. Focus on a technical problem the buyer has mentioned and try to sell to that or 2. Start pitching how great the product is.
Stick to your method, continue to search for large business problems that the client can solve using your product.
Show notes:
6:59 – You need to find a problem
10:00 – You need to stay away from product pitches when you get trapped
11:15 – Self diagnosing questions hurt because your buyer may not know their limitations
13:15 – Stay out of the future state
14:50 – If you’ve done your research on your market then you should know the questions to ask!
20:07 – Pay attention to everything your buyer says, you may find problems you can solve in the future
20:42 – Are close ended questions effective tools in a sales call or can they get you in trouble?

The best sales discovery calls actively look for problems to solve. Business problem solving is the key to making the sale because if your potential customer can’t see that they have a problem, they won’t be interested in your proposed solution.
Be deliberate with the questions you ask. Know what type of questions you're asking and what you're trying to find. As you ask questions, pay close attention to the ways in which your potential customer’s business may overlap with what you’re offering.
Will Tal Swicegood, with High Desert, find a problem Keenan or ASG has in order to sell him? Or will he walk away with some valuable sales tips from Keenan's coaching?
In Gap Sell Keenan, if they can find a problem that ASG has that their service or product solves, Keenan will buy. If not, he gets to coach them and it can be brutal.

The best sales discovery calls keep looking for problems to solve. Business problem solving is the key to making the sale because if your potential customer can’t see that they have a problem, then they won’t be interested in your proposed solution.
Know exactly what problems you solve with your product or service and go from there. As you ask questions, pay close attention to the ways in which your potential customer’s business may overlap with what you’re offering.
In Gap Sell Keenan, if they can find a problem that ASG has that their service or product solves, I will buy. If not, I get to coach them.

In a sales call, you've got to get good at identifying problems with businesses and how your product or service can solve those problems.
Often, people get too focused on what they're selling that they don't even bother to dig deep enough into the prospect's business. If you want to master the art of gap selling, you NEED to get good at honing in on problems and showing your prospect "the gap."

In this episode, I’m being persuaded to form a partnership with this salesperson’s company. As the interview progresses, you can see how to ask open-ended questions and why it’s so important to be able to phrase those questions in the right way.
Asking questions is a crucial part of gap selling. You need to figure out what the prospect’s problem is and where they want to be going. Often, salespeople struggle to find a true problem to solve.
During this interview, the seller asks me all sorts of questions regarding my sales process in order to get me to form a partnership. However, he never truly hones in on what it is he’s there to solve. Knowing how to ask open ended questions that pinpoint a problem is crucial. For example, we talked at length about the problems that can arise between getting a verbal agreement to sign and actually having the prospect sign the deal.
Since part of what the seller was offering here was the ability to improve the success rate during that period, he could have asked me right away how many of my clients give me a verbal agreement but then disappear and never sign the deal. With this question, he would know right off the bat whether or not he can solve my problem or if he should move on to find a different one.
By learning how to ask open-ended questions that get to the heart of what it is you intend to solve, you can make your sales interview much more effective. Even when trying to form a partnership, asking the right questions can make or break your ability to succeed.

In this episode, I have a sales discovery call with Matthias, a guy who is trying to sell me his platform that facilitates communication. After hearing his pitch, I talk about how he can really focus his efforts on business problem solving and how that can make his pitch a lot more effective.
As the interview progresses, Matthias tries to find the problem that he can help me with. This is exactly what you should do as a gap seller. However, where he goes off track is with his reactions to not finding that problem.
What tends to happen is he asks a couple of questions to get at my problems but then, when he finds none, he flounders. He begins talking about himself way too much. It’s clear that he knows his stuff. He references relevant statistics and literature and makes it clear that he’s done his homework regarding my business. The issue, however, is that he does not focus enough on the potential customer.
The best sales discovery calls keep looking for problems to solve. Business problem solving is the key to making the sale because if your potential customer can’t see that they have a problem, then they won’t be interested in your proposed solution.
Know exactly what problems you solve with your product or service and go from there. As you ask questions, pay close attention to the ways in which your potential customer’s business may overlap with what you’re offering.
The tips I offer in this episode all revolve around this crucial issue: asking questions to facilitate your business problem-solving. With the right questions, and by focusing on your prospect’s needs, you can make the sale.
