1. “Challenger Sale” – Matthew Dixon and Brent Adamson, who wrote the book, presents the key attributes of a Challenger Sales person as someone who:

2. Challengers teach their customers. They focus the sales conversation not on features and benefits but on insight, bringing a unique (and typically provocative) perspective on the customer’s business.

3. Challengers tailor their sales message to the customerThey have a finely tuned sense of individual customer objectives and value drivers and use this knowledge to effectively position their sales pitch to different types of customer stakeholders within the organization.

4. Challengers take control of the sale.While not aggressive, they are certainly assertive. They are comfortable with tension and are unlikely to acquiesce to every customer demand. With so many sales processes and methodologies still out there, and more coming down the pike, beyond Consultative.

5. I personally find The Challenger Sale well poised for selling into 2016 and beyond. It’s not getting easier for those of us in our trade.
