Buyer Centric Selling

DiSC Training

Standard Program Overview

Selling today is more about people management than opportunity management. It’s about “helping buyers buy”! There are more stakeholders involved in a buying decision today and everyone has their own feelings about change, triggers, priorities, decision criteria and risk. With the win rate of forecasted deals at 47% it’s clear that sellers need help aligning their sales process to how buyers buy.

In the book Buyer Centered Selling, sellers will learn a comprehensive, systematic, repeatable and teachable process for creating a winning sales strategy that is buyer-centric and answers the three questions every buyer must know. “Why Change”? “Why Change Now?”, and “Who Will Do It Best”?

The foundation of our training is sixteen “individual learning modules and a comprehensive” buyer-centric opportunity” worksheet. Some sales leaders will choose to purchase the program as designed. Others will select the specific modules they believe will improve the skill set of their team and build their own custom program.

Our program is 100% customizable to fit your sales team’s needs and we don’t just tell you what to do, we tell you how to do it as well.
