Mastering the Sales Opportunity

Maximize value, differentiate, and win complex sales.

Leaders are Prioritizing Sales Opportunity Management

86%

of Elite Performers agree their sellers have the skills needed to consistently drive and win sales opportunities vs. only 50% of The Rest.

3X

Sales winners educate buyers with new ideas and perspectives 3X more often than second-place finishers.

52%

of companies do not believe their sales process is customer-focused.

In the RAIN Group Center for Sales Research study, The Top-Performing Sales Organization, we found that “improving sales opportunity approach and planning,” “improving our ability to communicate value,” and “optimizing the sales process” represent 3 of the top 4 sales leadership priorities.

If sellers want to win, they must plan to win from the start. They must infuse value throughout the sales process and approach each sale from a customer-focused point of view.

Mastering the Sales Opportunity not only gives your team a proven opportunity approach and planning process, it also covers exactly how to maximize value for multiple decision makers in a variety of roles.
