On today’s episode of The Sales Evangelist, Donald talks with the head of sales at Transcend, Mike Orlick. They discuss the importance of use cases, how to effectively utilize them, and how to better provide value to your clients. What is a use case and how do you utilize it?? A use case comes down to the business outcome and what they mean for your client. Mike suggests getting quotes from previous clients who have had success with your product and then target similar individuals in your ICP. This helps to validate your product. You can utilize use cases when new protocols impact your industry. When you understand a prospect's situation they are more likely to trust you with a solution.
