How much do you understand about your prospect's most pressing problems? You know, the ones that leave them with no option other than to take action to deal with them? And how can your most powerful capabilities contribute to resolving their problems?
What would happen if they chose not to deal with the issue? What are the costs, risks and consequences of deciding to do nothing? And why should they turn to you for help, rather than a competitor, or trying to cope with the problem using their in-house resources?
Distinguishing between the merely interesting and the critically important...
Without a problem, there can be no solution, and no sale. But the problem has to be significant enough for your prospect to be prepared to invest significant amounts of time, money and resource to deal with it. Until and unless they acknowledge a compelling need, all they are doing is "investigating".
The problem might be a goal that needs to be achieved, a pain that needs to be resolved, or an issue that needs to be addressed. But the common factor that connects every compelling need is that people with the power to make a decision have acknowledged a painful economic consequence and have determined to do something about it.
Our approach...
First, we'll help you collate the information about your prospect's most pressing problems that invariably already exists within your organisation though a combination of surveys, interviews and workshops. We'll validate this through structured customer interviews spanning recent wins, losses and "no decisions".
Then we'll equip you to identify the patterns that identify your prospect's most pressing problems and help you translate this into a list of key issues and talking points that can be tremendously effective in improving the quality of your prospecting, messaging and qualification.
We often conduct this as part of an accelerated discovery exercise that can help you quickly home in at the same time on your most valuable prospects, their typical buying process, their key external influences and the trigger events that are likely to signal a change in their circumstances.
If past experience is anything to go by, these insights could enable you to significantly sharpen the focus of your marketing and sales efforts, and eliminate wasted effort - why not give us the chance to prove it?
How we help...
Inflexion-Point Strategy Partners help promising B2B organisations to realise their full potential by equipping them to build scalable sales and marketing machines that reflect the way their most valuable prospects prefer to buy.
We like to think of ourselves as practitioners, rather than consultants. We can point to decades of collective experience in achieving demanding revenue and profit targets, quarter after quarter – and of helping organisations stand out from the crowd and be acknowledged as market leaders.
Our systematic, evidence-based market leadership methodology
helps clients to bridge the gap between strategy and execution by enabling them to identify their most valuable prospects, understand their most urgent problems, and know how and why they make buying decisions.
We apply this learning to help our clients to craft compelling visions that resonate strongly with their prospect’s concerns, to implement practical programmes which serve to facilitate their prospect’s decision making processes, and to re-architect and re-align their sales and marketing processes in line with today's buying behaviour.
