What buyers DO NOT want from You
• To be treated like a number everyone else
• To hear you claim the technical superiority
or benefits of your product/service
• To have you withhold information
• To not be in control of the conversation
• Be forced into your sales process

Sales needs to change, too.
Consumer behavior has
changed…

The Sales Shift
• Directed the sales
discussion
• Set the timelines
• Used our process
• Shared the information we
wanted to share
• Focused on getting to the
ultimate decision maker
only
• Customers started the discussion
• Prospects selected their area of
interest
• Customers have their own
timeline
• Customers have there own
buying process
• Have already gathered
information and options

What buyers DO want from You
• Someone to help fill in the pieces
• Someone to ask them the right questions
• Someone to make them feel important
• Someone that builds a true business relationship
• Someone that isn’t scared to offer advice and
challenge assumptions

Shifts in sales behavior
• Excel at building relationships early in buying
process
• Engaging the prospect by adding value
• Context and Content
• Quality of engagement will impact lead conversion
to sales opportunity
• Email exchanges and calls need to be better
• Buyers are more demanding and need engagement
16. © 2014 Maximizer Software Inc.WWW.MAXIMIZER.COM
Shift to ‘consultative’ selling
• Listen more than they talk
• Know how to ask great questions
• Become the value that the prospect cannot get
anywhere else
• Create a “comfort level” for the prospect that
enables them to make a decision

CHANGE SALES IMPACT
The end of EXTRA cold calling No more SPAM emails and list calling
Inbound prospects are “in the know” Sales reps will spend less time talking
about the product and your company
Prospects need solutions Sales reps will spend more time solving
problems
Inbound leads typically come in further
down the decision path
Engage top level leads sooner.
The questions asked are more specific Sales reps must be very familiar with
both PROBLEMS and your
product/solution
Increased amount of background can
be gathered on a lead. Social and
analytics.
Sales reps will be able to see detailed
information and get real time
notifications of actions taken

SMB’s can compete more effectively in the inbound world. Prior to using the HubSpot software, FireRock focused all of their marketing resources on print advertising. Even though they had invested a lot of money in flyers and magazine and newspaper ads, they were unable to track whether these ads were actually making it into people’s hands
