About Outcome-Centric Selling®

Today’s B2B customers are bored with being pitched to. They don’t want to be lectured on how great the salesperson’s “solutions” are, to be subjected to boring and irrelevant company presentations, to have to endure being asked a series of irrelevant-to-them discovery questions or to have to sit through tedious and unfocused demonstrations of irrelevant features.

And they deeply resent (and aren’t willing to put up with) being subjected to crude, ineffective and out-of-date “always be closing” sales tactics.

They want to be confident that the approach being proposed is the one that is most likely to ensure that they achieve their desired business outcomes. They want to be confident that we will enable them to achieve their key corporate priorities. They want to be sure that their organization achieves the best possible business outcomes in the shortest possible time - but they don’t want us to over-promise and under-deliver.

Each stakeholder also wants to be confident that we will enable them to achieve their personal and departmental priorities - and they need to be sure that if they stick their necks out to support our proposal that we won’t let them down. Individually and collectively, our prospects want us to de-risk the decisions we are asking them to make, to give them the confidence that their outcomes will be achieved, and to eliminate their fear of messing up [FOMU].

Based on the latest research into B2B buying behavior, Outcome-Centric Selling® is designed to give salespeople the framework to understand, influence and achieve their customer’s desired business outcomes - and to facilitate their customer’s buying decision journeys.
