Sales best practices: SPIN Selling

The SPIN Selling Questions: Situation – Problem – Implication – Need Payoff

First released in 1988, Neil Rackham’s SPIN®Selling asserted the most successful sellers are seen by their customers as consultants or problem solvers who are working in the customers’ best interest.
