In our second video of our “How to Use Case Studies in Sales” series, Julian sits down with Charles Muhlbauer, the Head Sales Coach at CB Insights, to discuss incorporating Case Studies when talking to prospective clients. Charles explains why problems resonate with customers more than results do and how reps can leverage them in the sales process.
In this video…

- Understand why prospects enjoy discussing problems more than results
- Learn the value of talking about what Case Study subjects tried to do to solve a problem on their own
“Talking about problems is more interesting. Talking about results is boring. When I hear someone speak at a lecture on sales about what they messed up on, or what they were afraid of, that’s so interesting. Everyone goes through that, and when they talk about it, it resonates with you. ‘Oh, I have that fear too. I didn’t know other people have that fear, I thought it was just me.’ It’s so much more interesting to discuss.”
