VantagePoint's data on high-performing sales managers and high-performing salespeople-gleaned from 10,000+ sellers and 1,600+ sales managers-proves that salespeople who can leverage multiple possible paths to determine the best approach are the ones who accomplish their growth targets. You'll learn how to:. Shift to a buyer-focus perspective and assess customer situations from multiple perspectives. Make sense of buyers' situations by considering and weighing all available data and your own insights. Choose a sales approach that aligns with the customer situation with your prioritized sales objective. Execute a variety of sales tactics that will move the sales opportunity forward. Make in-the-moment adjustments as the buyer's situation evolvesWith The Sales Agility Code, you have everything you need to understand the buyer, the buying situation, and the buyer's needs so you can consciously choose the best approach for each stage in each deal-which will invariably result in more sales.
