This question is about a Rep free experience, but it's not necessarily about removing reps entirely, it's about changing how reps are selling. They're transitioning to educators. A lot of it starts with the product. If the product isn't easy to implement or doesn't have a clear time to value, then a product-led growth or sales approach is still far away. Product-led growth, in my mind, is the truly Rep free experience, but it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. 

You have to meet your prospects where they're at and start with the customer journey. If you're selling a solution that can be solved without interacting with anyone, then that's more of the product-led growth approach. If not, you can create efficiencies in how a Rep engages with the prospect to create a shorter sales cycle and a more education-oriented sales cycle.

We're focused on providing the right level of data insights and signals to our team so that before they go to educate a prospect, they themselves have been educated about that prospect. This allows for a more customized talk track and a customized play that can be deployed.

We're focusing on transitioning from selling to educating. We're looking at the question-answer pricing model. For instance, if a buyer comes in, we want to show them how different options adjust the price. We're doing this for services as well as products. We're also introducing competitive options, acting as an online consultant. We emphasize our differentiation as a must-have and present other options as nice-to-haves. This is a constant tweaking of our online presence, and we also make sure to give advice and counsel through blogs to establish ourselves as subject matter experts in our industry.

Great athletes don't often make great coaches.  It's rare to find a top coach in any sport that was an elite individual performer.  Coach K was an average player, but hall of fame coach.  Gretzky was arguably the best hockey ...read more
