Take Results to The Next Level with Challenger Inspired Sales Training
With the help of vast amounts of information on the internet, today’s buyer is armed with plenty of knowledge of products and services but find it difficult to make sense of it all – resulting in ‘analysis paralysis’.Â
Because of this, today’s sales reps need to take control of the sale. In Advanced Selling, participants can learn cutting edge sales techniques that complement the Challenger Sale methodology. These techniques can help customers understand and feel confident in making buying decisions.
The fact is, today B2B buyers only spend 17% of the total purchase journey with sales reps. With millennials replacing older professionals it’s important to be aware that 44% of millennials prefer no interaction with sales representatives in B2B settings. As a result, it’s important for your reps to be equipped with advanced selling techniques so they can reach these prospects and present in a way that relates to them.
B2B buyers are overwhelmed with information about complex solutions, affecting their willingness to buy. So much so that customers who report encountering overwhelming amounts of information are 54% less likely to purchase. Advanced Selling helps customers make sense of all of the information they’ve gathered and makes it easier for them to buy from you.
Consultative selling might build relationships, but it doesn’t deliver the best sales results. Instead reps need to be equipped with the skills to advise their prospects on ideal solutions, while also gaining commitment along the way.

Wondering if you have advanced sellers in your organisation? Here are some of the traits of advanced sellers and what they look like:Â
The Challenger Sales model identifies five distinct types of sales representatives based on their approaches and behaviors. Firstly, there's the "Hard Worker," characterized by diligence and persistence but may struggle to tailor their pitch effectively. The "Challenger" is the second type, known for their ability to push customers out of their comfort zones by providing valuable insights and challenging their assumptions. The "Relationship Builder" focuses on establishing strong connections with clients, while the "Lone Wolf" operates independently, relying on their intuition and charisma. Lastly, the "Problem Solver" excels at finding solutions for customers but may avoid disrupting the status quo. The Challenger Sales framework suggests that the most successful salespeople are those who can combine the strengths of these types, with a particular emphasis on the Challenger approach.
