B2B and B2C - Different strokes for different folks
Whether you work in a business to business (B2B) or a business to consumer (B2C) organisation, each presents a completely different set of challenges. This session examines two very different approaches to email marketing.
Focusing on Growth Through Business Development
This document outlines the process for growing a business through partnerships. It discusses forming a V-team with roles like business development, sales, legal and finance. The business development process includes developing a product strategy, targeting customers, creating pitch decks, conducting pitch meetings under NDAs, piloting programs, and negotiating contracts. Different types of commercial partnerships are described like marketing expenditures, revenue sharing, and licensing agreements. Key roles in business development and partner management are defined. Finally, common contract types like term sheets, statements of work and service level agreements are overviewed.
The Challenger ™ Sale – How to take control of the sales process
The Challenger ™ Sale – How to take control of the sales process - CEB
The classic relationship building approach to solution selling has become obsolete. To be successful today, sales reps need to provide valuable new insights to their customers and they must challenge them with new perspectives. CEB’s Challenger Sale approach shows you how to open up new opportunities, create organisational capability and successfully take control of the sales process with the right stakeholders.
Paradox of the Empowered Consumer - Tim Suther Engagement Expo 2011 #EE360
This document discusses how businesses can succeed in today's environment where consumers have more choices and empowerment. It emphasizes that businesses need to develop enduring emotional bonds with customers by providing transparency, personalized experiences, and value. It provides examples of how companies have improved marketing results and business metrics like revenue and profit by optimizing their use of customer data and insights across organizational capabilities and marketing strategies.
What We Learned Working with The Challenger Customer by CEB
CEB's research found that the most effective approach in B2B sales to diverse customer teams is to target the "Challenger Customer", also known as the "Mobilizer", who is someone who challenges the status quo, is skeptical, and is supplier agnostic. This person has the credibility to inspire change within the team and help build consensus in a dysfunctional buying group. Sales and marketing teams need to collaborate in new ways to find the Challenger Customer and win the sale.
The Challenger Customer •New Realities of B2B Buying and Selling by Bryan Eh...
Mobivity helps restaurant and retail brands grow their business through targeted marketing. The document discusses four major shifts in B2B selling: 1) buyers are now self-empowered with access to information, 2) content must align with demand types, 3) more stakeholders are involved in decisions, and 4) buyers expect change and solutions rather than status quo. Successful sales now require understanding buyers' evaluation processes and aligning messaging with where buyers are in their journey.
Defining sales leadership
The document discusses sales trends and what companies need to know to compete. It analyzes data from over 600 sales reps to identify traits of high performers. Five sales profiles emerged: The Hard Worker, The Challenger, The Relationship Builder, The Lone Wolf, and The Problem Solver. Challengers made up the highest percentage of high performers. To succeed in complex sales environments, reps need to teach differentiation, tailor their message, and assert control over the customer. The document provides questions for companies to help reps adopt these skills.
DemoChimp_Challenger Customer Summary
The document summarizes key insights from the book "The Challenger Customer" by CEB. It discusses how most business purchases now involve buying groups of 5-6 stakeholders, which can lead to buying dysfunction. It also discusses the importance of identifying "Mobilizers" within the customer organization - individuals who are committed to driving change, even if they are not formal decision makers. There are three types of Mobilizers discussed - "Go-Getters", "Teachers", and "Skeptics" - each with their own strengths and engagement approaches. The document provides action items for salespeople to find these Mobilizers and work with them to overcome buying group challenges.

Challenger sale
The document discusses different profiles of B2B sales representatives: the Relationship Builder, Problem Solver, Hard Worker, Lone Wolf, and Challenger. It finds that Challengers, who debate with customers and take control of pricing discussions by challenging customers' thinking, have the highest performance rates. An effective sales approach called "Commercial Teaching" involves teaching customers new perspectives to help them compete in their market. Key components of a successful sales pitch include reframing customers' problems, using data and stories to create emotional impact, convincing customers of a new way of thinking, and describing how the solution fits this new framework.

The Challenger Sales Tenets by Matt Dixon
This document discusses a study on sales rep profiles and their effectiveness. It found that "Challenger" reps, who challenge customers' assumptions and catalyze action, are most likely to succeed, especially in complex sales. The key aspects of a Challenger are that they offer a unique perspective, have strong communication skills, understand customer value drivers, and are comfortable discussing financial aspects. The document provides tips for salespeople to lead customers by challenging their assumptions rather than leading with challenges, in order to create excitement around new solutions.
Maximizing salesperson ship- 2015
The science and art of selling has undergone an evolution. Initially sales people were judged by how "likeable" they were. Then, with the advent of technology, the pendulum swung to being fact-based, data-driven, logically driven, quantiatively presented, etc.
However, the core skills of salesperson-ship have often been glossed over in the pursuits on both sides. This presentation offers a look into how to balance the sometimes competing goals and skills of the conventional approaches and the value of newer capabilities provided by information availability, immediacy of data processing, and capacity to store and retrieve insights fromhuge information databases.
A sales model for the age of disruption
This SlideShare presentation is an extract of the content I use to train sales people, sales leaders, and executives on a sales and buyer research model for today's dynamic sales environment.
Hypothesis Based Selling
This presentation discusses the "Challenger Sale" approach to sales based on research from CEB and the book "The Challenger Sale". It found that customers have changed how they buy, the sales experience drives 53% of customer loyalty, and high performing "Challenger" sellers have certain skills. These sellers challenge the status quo through hypothesis-based selling, tailoring their message, and taking control of the sales process while respecting the customer. The presentation provides an overview of the Challenger profile and strategies for organizations to develop Challenger selling capabilities.
How the Challenger Sale philosophy applies to CSM
Our Director of Client Strategy and Director of Customer Success Sales examine how the 'Challenger Sale' philosophy can also be appllied across your Customer Success and Renewals & Expansion teams
What Is CustomerCentric Selling®
CustomerCentric Selling involves having intelligent conversations with buyers to help them visualize how to achieve their goals and solve problems by satisfying their needs, and then facilitating the buying process. It is an integrated model that targets early access to key decision makers and control over the sales cycle without overcontrolling buyers. The methodology also provides tools to analyze pipeline quality and sales performance.
Understanding the Principles of the Challenger Sale
Matt Heinz gave a presentation on applying the Challenger sale approach to drive volume, velocity and conversion. He outlined 25 tenets of the Challenger approach, such as leading with hypotheses of customer needs, painting a picture of their negative future without change, and pushing customers' thinking to help them compete more effectively. Heinz emphasized tailoring the message to stakeholders, generating demand in reluctant environments, and being memorable rather than agreeable.
Challenger-Data
The document discusses commercial teaching as a sales technique. It defines commercial teaching as reframing how customers assign value to areas where a supplier outperforms competitors. For commercial teaching to be effective, it must lead customers to a supplier's unique strengths, challenge customers' assumptions, catalyze action, and provide scalable content across multiple customers. An effective commercial teaching sales pitch walks customers through an emotional experience of reframing problems and building confidence in a supplier's solution. It focuses on teaching unknown problems rather than learning about customers' challenges.

The future of sales
This document discusses the changing nature of sales and what customers want from sellers. It finds that customers now do more of their own research before engaging with salespeople. It also outlines five types of sales representatives and finds that "challenger" reps, who offer unique perspectives and push customers, are most likely to succeed, especially in complex sales. It promotes a "challenger selling" approach of teaching customers rather than just presenting solutions in order to better address customer needs and drive growth.

Case Study: solving pharma reps challenges
Reps at a pharmaceutical company in 2014 were unmotivated and did not believe in the medicines they were selling. The real issue was that the reps did not fully understand the competitive advantages of the products. The company held "Product dive" workshops that mapped out competitors, covered comparative benefits, addressed objections, shared personal stories, and focused on features, advantages, and benefits. This resulted in increased rep motivation, better quality visits, and higher sales. Additional product education training organized informally and engagingly can help reps perform better when sales are lagging.
Case study: debunking pharma communication miracles
This case study from 2014 describes a pharmaceutical company that was struggling to pick an efficient creative idea for its brand due to a lack of clear brand positioning and consumer insights. A "Brand essence" workshop was conducted which explored consumer insights, developed a brand benefits ladder, generated a core brand idea, and created a brand vision and multichannel matrix. The result was increased brand differentiation and more effective multichannel planning. The document stresses that neither creative ideas nor digital communication tools will be effective without clear strategic brand foundations, competitive differentiation, and consumer insights.

Artifact land swap correctional facility-model (MooC Project)
The document proposes a land swap to redevelop Ikoyi Prison in Lagos, Nigeria. Currently, Ikoyi Prison is located in a high-value area of Lagos and prisons in Nigeria do not focus enough on rehabilitation.
