Creating Chaos
No, I’m not a proponent of drumming up problems, drama or chaos. I do encourage you to train yourself and sales team to discover and create dissatisfaction. You may wonder why you would want to do such a thing.
Your goal is to find the gaps, identify how you can close the gaps and effectively communicate the solution to your clients and prospects.
Most of the time, clients and prospective clients don’t know they are dissatisfied until you prove capability by providing better results, service and solutions.
Has Your Competition Beaten You To The Punch Line?
Great sales teams will utilize dissatisfaction to their advantage. If your sales team isn’t using this technique, your competition has beaten you to the punch line. When an opportunity of dissatisfaction is apparent, seize the moment to overcome your clients’ fear and guide them to close the gap surrounding the dissatisfaction.
“Change occurs in direct proportion to dissatisfaction, but dissatisfaction never changes.”
Douglas Horton
