1 Know your buyer

The first step in solution selling is to identify and qualify your prospects, and to do that, you need to know your buyer persona. A buyer persona is a semi-fictional representation of your ideal customer, based on data, research, and insights. It helps you understand their demographics, motivations, challenges, preferences, and decision-making process. By knowing your buyer persona, you can tailor your communication, content, and solution to their specific needs and goals, and build trust and rapport.

2 Use digital tools

The digital age offers a variety of tools and platforms that can help you with solution selling, such as CRM systems, social media, email marketing, webinars, podcasts, blogs, videos, and more. These tools can help you generate leads, nurture relationships, educate prospects, demonstrate value, and close deals. However, you need to use them strategically and effectively, and not rely on them alone. You still need to have a human touch, a consultative approach, and a clear value proposition.

3 Provide value

One of the key principles of solution selling is to provide value to your prospects and customers, not just features and benefits. Value is what your solution can do for them, how it can solve their problems, improve their situation, or achieve their objectives. To provide value, you need to listen actively, ask open-ended questions, uncover their pain points, and align your solution with their desired outcomes. You also need to provide value throughout the sales cycle, by sharing relevant content, insights, and testimonials, and by following up and delivering on your promises.

4 Differentiate yourself

The digital age also means that you face more competition and noise in the market, and that your prospects have more information and options at their fingertips. Therefore, you need to differentiate yourself from your competitors, and stand out from the crowd. You can do that by highlighting your unique selling proposition, your competitive advantage, and your customer success stories. You can also do that by creating a memorable customer experience, by exceeding expectations, adding value, and showing appreciation.

5 Adapt and learn

Finally, to succeed in solution selling in the digital age, you need to be adaptable and willing to learn. The digital landscape is constantly changing and evolving, and so are your customers' needs and expectations. You need to keep up with the latest trends, technologies, and best practices, and update your skills and knowledge accordingly. You also need to seek feedback, measure your results, and learn from your mistakes and successes. By being adaptable and learning, you can improve your solution selling skills and performance.

Tools change. Products change. Technology changes. But the fundamentals of selling remain consistent. Customer knowledge and engagement. Consistent communication. Value proposition. etc. Too often, we overcomplicate selling before sellers have a strong grasp of the fundamentals. Over the long run, no tools or technology will overcome a lack of sales fundamentals.

Use online to make contact and cultivate a relationship, but get personal as soon as you can. People still buy from people. Your objective is not to sell via digital. It is to open up an online dialogue that you develop into a personal contact. It might take eight touches, but do not rush it. Provide things that matter to your contact. Ask for feedback. Then close for a personal call or meeting. The harmony of digital and personal.
