Sales Training Success: CustomerCentric Selling® helps Axient increase revenue by 2.1 million over the first 12 months.
Key Player
Managing Director, Axient
Goal
When the Managing Director for Axient first employed the help of CustomerCentric Selling® business partner, Acuere, they stated their primary goal was to increase revenue.
Current Situation
The challenges they faced in achieving this goal were:
- Increased competition
- Perception of fax as an old technology
- Inability to gain access to key decision makers
“CustomerCentric Selling® (CCS) provided a framework and methodology to ensure customer goals and values are exposed, captured and used to deliver the best outcomes and return on investment (ROI).”
–John Pitt, Axient
Capabilities Needed
After identifying the sales challenges, the capabilities that Axient defined called for a repeatable, consistent sales process that could be applied across their sales, marketing and operations teams. This process would provide tools and processes that enabled:
- Arming the sales team with the skills to have business level conversations with ‘c’ level decision makers and key players
- Selling solutions based on business outcomes and values – not products and services
- Competitive differentiation by the way they sell, and by having a consistent, repeatable and measurable sales process
Acuere provided these capabilities via a tailored CustomerCentric Selling® sales training workshop with follow-up reinforcement sessions with the team.
Result: Axient boosted revenues by 2.1 million over the first 12 months since implementing the CustomerCentric Selling® sales methodology.
