Consultative Selling and Buyer Engagement

LearnQuest organizes consultative selling around understanding a buyer’s problem and adapting the conversation to it. Discovery connects with negotiation and a personalized proposal. It suits beginners who want to separate a customer’s stated request from the underlying need and build a clearer rationale for any recommendation.

What you will learn

• Investigate customer needs through discovery.
• Adapt a consultative approach to buyer context.
• Prepare negotiation and proposal conversations.

Who this suits

Beginners developing consultative B2B selling skills; compare the India and US examples with your own market.

Before you enroll

Practice with fictional customer information and use only claims you can substantiate. Buying processes, product capabilities and communication rules differ across organizations and markets. A technique should help a customer make an informed decision. Course completion does not guarantee deals, income or a particular sales result.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Write a fictional customer request and three discovery questions, then explain how different answers would change the proposed solution.
