Description

Is product knowledge essential in sales? My answer - it depends.

Do you have a complex, expensive, or technical product? Then yes, it's vital for your salesperson to deeply understand your solution and be able to speak confidently about it.

But in smaller, simpler sales environments - you don't need that same level of knowledge. The wins come from identifying a prospect's pain and determining if your solution can solve it.

In this show, we explain why:

• Salespeople need to understand what the product does. Still, it can't be a veil to push a product.
• Sales leaders must focus on finding people who are good at communicating with clients.
• Sales leaders should use their Conversation Intelligence tool in HubSpot to identify product and communications coaching moments.
