Boost Win Rates with Elfsquad's Method for Guided Selling
Your salespeople don’t always know all the unique features of your products. With Guided Selling, your sales teams ask the questions that customers don’t realize they need to answer. Provide interactive tools and real-time guidance to simplify product configuration and ensure accurate pricing.
What Is Guided Selling?
Guided Selling is a customer-centric sales approach that uses a structured process for product customization. By asking targeted questions and providing relevant options, it helps customers navigate complex buying decisions with ease.
How Does It Work?
With Elfsquad CPQ, you begin by understanding the customer's needs with guided questions and then suggest customized solutions based on their answers. This structured product selection approach enhances customer satisfaction.
Who Is It For?
Guided Selling is applicable across various industries and business models, including both B2B and B2C sectors. It is particularly beneficial for companies offering complex products or customizable solutions, where customers may require guidance.
What Is Elfsquad's Method for Guided Selling?
The Elfsquad method for Guided Selling consists of three layers: the technical layer manages calculations, then the functional layer presents options chosen by sales representatives, and the top layer guides customers with tailored questions.
- Guided Selling Layer: Engages customers with tailored questions to direct them towards options known by the sales representatives.
- Functional Layer: Allows sales representatives to select options for configuration without detailed explanations.
- Technical Layer: Handles BOMs, CAD parameters, and calculations for error-free configuration generation, manipulated by the system.
Speeding Up the Quoting Process
Using guided selling alongside existing configuration models makes it easy for anyone, even those with limited technical knowledge, to use the configurator.

But what if you want to use different Guided-Selling techniques for different customers, dealers, sales representatives, or sub organizations?
