Rebecca Kravitz, sales professional and co-founder of Meople, is here to share how games can grab prospects' attention and help increase deal velocity. Check it out and move deals faster with this unique method.Meet Rebecca KravitzThe concept of using board games to capture prospects' attention comes from Rebecca and her co-founder creating a game for her grandfather's 80th birthday. After seeing how amazed he was by it, they decided to build customizable gaming software for the B2B world.She believes that sales is all about active listening and understanding the challenges, needs, and persona of the buyer. Board games allow companies and sellers to listen to their customers and provide solutions to them. Bringing Gaming Into the Sales ProcessRebecca says it’s best to bring gaming into the sales process at the beginning, immediately following a call. You can provide a demo so they can get a feel for the customized board game and how your product benefits them.Another perfect time to use it in the sales process is when the deal is stalling and you need to make it move faster through the pipeline.Also, you don’t have to come up with the game rules; Meople does all of that for you.How Can Meople Help Close More Deals?Building customizable games for your prospects—how on earth is this better than traditional sales methods?Rebecca shares that Meople is like a specialized gift for your prospects.
