Most sales teams don’t spend enough time selling to prospects. Too often their days are clogged with a variety of other tasks such as general admin and internal meetings. And while these tasks are important to the smooth running of your business they aren't always the best use of your sales team's time. Equally, sales teams often don’t have the best tools at their disposal to sell your product or service. The enablement phase of frictionless selling focusses on empowering your sales team to spend more time selling and less time administrating by streamlining their day and improving the efficiency of the tools they use.

Companies often sell their product or service in a way that suits them not their customer. And with contemporary buying habits changing the old method of converting prospects via the hard sell is already outmoded: the twenty-first-century customer wants to be Educated, Supported and Guided not prospected, explored and converted.

Are your sales team currently available at a time when customers need more information? Are your reps speaking with your prospects on their terms, in their language through their preferred channels? Does your payment process suit your customer? Is your pricing structure transparent? Do you have an unattractive lock-in period? Are you adding value to your prospect at every stage of their buying journey? If the answer is no to some or all these questions, then you may need to rethink how you're selling your product or service.

The alignment phase of frictionless selling is about how to adapt your selling process with your prospects buying journey so you grow your company faster while keeping your customers happy.
