Sales methodologies month has begun, and we’re starting with the Challenger Sale.

This one is all about helping customers think differently — which sounds noble until you realize it also means saying, “Are we sure that’s actually the problem?” without getting escorted out of the room.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • How Challenger is built around teaching, tailoring, and taking control
  • Why it works best in complex sales
  • The danger of using a heavyweight methodology on a lightweight opportunity
  • How consultative selling can uncover the real business issue hiding behind the obvious one

We also get into the Digital Momentum Summit and how to think about ROI across prospects, clients, partners, and brand amplification — because apparently “it felt useful” is not always accepted by finance.

A useful one for anyone selling complex work, running events, or trying to prove that business development is more than just a mysterious cloud of coffees, conversations, and hopeful follow-ups.
