🟢Sell the problem you solve
🔴Not the product you have.
In sales, it’s tempting to dive straight into features and specs.
“Our software has AI-powered analytics!” But here’s the truth: Customers don’t buy products—they buy solutions to their pains.
☑️Think about it:
❇️You’re not selling a drill; you’re selling perfectly sized holes for their shelves.
❇️You’re not selling a mattress; you’re selling a pain-free night’s sleep after years of tossing and turning.
Real-world examples that nail this:
🔰𝐒𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 - Doesn’t pitch “team messaging app.” They sell “ending endless email threads and miscommunications that waste your day.”
🔰𝐙𝐨𝐨𝐦 -Not “video conferencing software.” It’s “connecting remote teams instantly, no matter where they are, without tech headaches.”
🔰𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐥𝐚 -Skips “electric car specs.” They sell “freedom from gas stations, sky-high fuel bills, and a cleaner planet for your kids.”
✔️Shift your pitch:
✔️Start with their struggle
