Matt Woodhams

Enterprise Account Director

"Sell By Design has allowed us to engage with the customers to really drive outcomes. We've seen some really good progress as it relates to getting out of our comfort zone into new lines of business at varying levels."

Jamie Dinsmore

Technology Sales Executive, Energy & Resources Industry

"What Sell By Design has enabled me to do is to demonstrate how we can deliver key value, not only to IT, but to everybody.  Not only has Sell By Design enabled us to look at how we generate insight but also how to open up greater collaboration."

Oliver Barlow

"Sell by Design is the only process we have done that we can directly correlate to increased pipeline that turned into increased bookings. It was highly measurable and added millions of dollars to top line."

Revenue Growth

Why? Design Thinking offers Sellers:

  • Simple tools for exceptional discovery

  • Co-creative approaches which speed up decision making

  • Valuable ways to become consultative not transactional

  • A method to differentiate from competitors

  • The ability to drive greater value and mutual gain

Design Thinking is a practical process that is often used to create new products or services. It demands a ruthless focus on the end customer in order to increase the chance of delighting the customer and decreasing the risk of failure.

Essentially, it prevents us from getting carried away with our own fantasy of what the customer wants, and makes sure it is actually what they desire. (Sound like this might be useful In sales?)

Terms like empathy, curiosity, deep discovery, customer centricity, co-creation, insight generation, fail fast and iterate are all hallmarks of a Design Thinking approach.

Somersault Innovation has identified the Design Thinking tools that will add the most value to a deal cycle and tailored them for sales so that they can be easily used to increase the chance that customers are delighted.
