ADAPPT Selling: Blueprint for Sales Success

In the complex world of B2B sales, distinguishing your approach can be as challenging as navigating a labyrinth. That's where ADAPPT Selling comes into play—a refined strategy poised to revolutionize how sales teams engage, negotiate, and close. This framework is not just a modification but a redefinition of sales methodologies, crafted for the modern sales environment.

Unpacking ADAPPT: A New Philosophy in Sales

ADAPPT Selling isn't merely a set of steps; it's an ethos, breathing new life into every customer interaction. Here’s how ADAPPT distinguishes itself from traditional sales methodologies by aligning deeper with today's business dynamics.

Awareness: Knowing Your Customer's World

Meet your buyers where they are! This is easy to understand yet rarely practiced in sales. We assume that customers are in the decision-making stage by the time they engage with us. However, this is far from the truth.

We try to pull our customers to where we are, sometimes creating unnecessary friction rather than meeting them where they are and being their guides/partners on the journey.

The goal is to tailor your engagement and enablement based on the customer's existing knowledge and interest.

ADAPPT starts with understanding exactly where your customer stands in terms of knowledge and interest. It’s about aligning your communications to perfectly match their current understanding, ensuring that every interaction is impactful and meaningful.

Decision Dynamics: The Decision Web

The way decisions are made is not linear like we used to think. Today, multiple people are involved in the decision, but if you are lucky to have one decision maker, they still rely on an influencer to help drive their decision.

Knowing this and navigating it will ensure that you are efficient with everyone's time, involve the right people, and make the micro-commitments much more accessible to reach the macro-commitment.

The goal is to understand and map who decides influences, what factors impact their decisions, and the timeline for decisions to be made

This stage goes beyond just identifying the decision-makers. ADAPPT requires you to understand the entire ecosystem of the buying process—including the key players, their roles, influences, and the specific dynamics that could affect the deal. It’s about navigating complex decision-making processes and effectively managing relationships at every touchpoint.
