Follow us on LinkedInIn this episode of Product Marketing Life, host Mark Assini speaks with Erica Dingman, Senior Product Marketing Manager at Movable Ink, about the difference between vision selling and product selling.
Erica walks us through the differences between vision selling and product selling, explaining that product selling solves known problems like customers’ direct pain points, while vision selling takes a more transformative approach focused on long-term strategic value, and aligning with a customer's future aspirations.
The aim of this kind of selling is to open customers' eyes to problems they didn't even know they had.
Erica details Movable Ink's "crawl, walk, run" pathway, the method used to gently get clients comfortable with the more sophisticated use of their AI products over time, and dives into the importance of the human touch.
