How to sell more EX

Well, it’s pretty simple!

It’s all about two things:

  1. Having a simple, yet strategic conversation with your buyer personas and talk about the things that matter to them

  2. Selling strategically by knowing your strengths against the competition and how to use partners

Strategic conversations: Know your buyer

Project Lead: HR Manager

Job: Manage day to day project / programme

Know your buyer personas. There are generally four types of persona involved in an EX sale. Think about the right things to ask that help each persona do their jobs well.

Sponsor: Leadership / CX

Job: Provide energy and support

Decision Maker: CHRO / Procurement

Job: Buy effectively

Technical: IT Department

Job: Ensure connections and compliance

Strategic conversations: Ask the right questions

Use the Feedback Works VALUE Methodology to add structure to your discovery conversations. You could ask:

Vision: What is your vision for your EX programme?

Architecture: What would you measure, or what moments that matter would you capture, if you could?

Listen: How do you currently listen to employees? What is going well and what could you upgrade?

Understanding: How do ensure different users (e.g. managers) have the insights to have a great conversation with their teams?

Evolution: How are you using your EX survey or programme to make real change in your organisation?

Strategic selling: Know your competition and your strengths against them. For example:

Strength Two

The power of Qualtrics to deliver tailored dashboards and insights to user personas

Strength One

The flexibility of the Qualtrics platform to evolve a programme of EX listening

Strength Three

Real-time AI driven insights at all levels that intelligently drive action at manager level

Strength Four

The strength of the QPN partner network to add expertise where and when needed

Strategic selling: Leverage the QPN partner network to win

Commit to a partner. Choose the best partner for the opportunity. Think about if you need quick, cheaper implementation or more of an advisory approach to solve a customer problem, for instance.

Use them for early discovery. Plug your partner in early to help you understand the customer deeply and develop the best EX approach and strategies for the customer.

Advocate for your partner. Be proud of the power your partner will bring and advocate the benefits that deep expertise will bring your customer.
