It's not what you sell,
it's how you sell it that matters.

The way we buy has changed. Now more than ever before, it’s not what you sell that matters, it’s how you sell it – and businesses with the least amount of friction win.

Frictionless Selling is a way of rethinking sales to effectively reduce friction and create more convenient experiences for both buyers and sellers.

What is Frictionless Selling?

Think of your business as a flywheel. The faster it spins, the faster you'll grow – and there are two things you can do to make your flywheel spin faster.

First, you can add force: Hire more reps, invest more in marketing, and pressure teams to increase their throughput.

Another way to get that flywheel spinning faster: Reduce friction. Enable your reps to work more efficiently, align your sales motion with buyer expectations, and transform your sales team through a culture of constant learning and iteration.

This is what Frictionless Selling is all about.
