THE FUTURE OF SALES CONVERSATIONS
It's all about CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE in today´s hybrid sales!
The generic masculine is used to make the texts easier to read. The personal designations used refer to all genders.
NEW WORLD. NEW BUYER. NEW SKILLS.
Modern DECISION-MAKERS think, act, and make decisions differently today. The mindset of today’s Buyers and their expectations and criteria towards salespeople have shifted dramatically in the recent years. As a result, traditional SELLING is no longer compelling and proves to be largely ineffective in today’s Buyer 4.0 world.

NEW WORLD. New Approach.
The New Direction
In contrast to traditional sales methods, new 21st-century SALES SYSTEMS place the Customer Conversation at the center of modern sales roles. They use new dialogue models, new tools, and new communication formats, framing this approach as the primary management and conversational leadership tool in sales.
NEW BUYER. New Mindset.
Today's Modern Buyer
FROM PRODUCT TO VALUE is the new motto – because 90% of decision-makers won’t make a change unless they clearly see a financial benefit.
NEW SKILLS. New Designs.
Using the 4-sector conversation model, they are able to create Touchpoint-sensitive Business Talks according to the specific sales situation, taking into account:

- Storyboards and different conversational tools provided by the CODE I 21 DIALOG FRAMEWORK,
CODE I 21 provides four different dialogue models by default:

- The COMPETITION CONVERSATION,
NEW TRANISITION. New Routines.
