Salespeople often assume they know what the buyer values but are really projecting their own ideas of value onto the customer. Today, customers are looking for something more than an explanation of features; they are looking for a new perspective on how best to move their business forward.

This move from a problem-centered approach to a business-centered approach may seem easy, but it requires three things: a mindset change that places the customer’s business ahead of your own, new knowledge by exploring how the customer’s business runs, and new skills to follow the customer’s lead to the next question.
