In the world of manufacturing, sales teams are tasked with the difficult job of guiding customers through a complex purchasing process. With so many options, variations, and configurations to choose from, the customer's buying journey can be confusing and time-consuming. This is where guided selling and Infor CPQ come in.
Guided Selling Personalizes the Customer Experience
Guided selling is a sales technique that involves the use of technology or a salesperson to guide a potential customer through the buying process. The goal of guided selling is to help the customer make an informed purchasing decision by providing them with personalized recommendations and advice based on their unique needs and preferences.
Guided selling can take many forms, including interactive tools on a website, chatbots, product recommendation engines, and sales scripts used by salespeople. These tools and techniques can be used to gather information about the customer's needs, preferences, and budget, and to present them with relevant products or services that meet their specific requirements.
