Sales Methodology

Challenger Sale

The Challenger Sale methodology, from Matthew Dixon and Brent Adamson, reframes B2B selling around expertise-driven value rather than traditional relationship-building.

01

Teaching for Differentiation

Challengers educate their customers with new insights and perspectives that reframe the way customers think about their business — rather than focusing solely on product features.

02

Tailoring for Resonance

Customizing messages to match individual customer values and economic priorities, ensuring relevance at every level of the buying organization.

03

Taking Control of the Sale

Maintaining assertive leadership when discussing money and challenging customer assumptions constructively — driving the conversation forward.

04

Constructive Tension

Using strategic tension to overcome resistance and guide customers toward new perspectives, opening space for transformative solutions.

05

Driving Toward a Decision

Navigating complex organizational dynamics to advance the sales process and bring stakeholders to a confident, well-informed decision.
