SlingshotEdge Reviews & Provider Details

SlingshotEdge enables enterprise Sales teams to DISCOVER their prospects' motivation to change. SHAPE their prospects' thinking (locking out their competition) and POSITION their offering, making it easy for their prospects to reach a consensus to change and choose them. Your teams learn the behavioural science behind their buyer's decisions, actions and motivations and use that knowledge to influence their buyers by connecting at an emotional level with them. Sales and Marketing leaders engage because they are frustrated, burning resources on deals ending in NO DECISION. Most of their business is being closed by a few top sellers, and they're tired of trying initiatives to get everyone else to level up. Their sellers are complaining that they find it very tough to make an impact when they're on a treadmill of Zoom meetings where they are reduced to a 2-inch talking head with dull slides. They want to understand every hidden force (emotional bias) working against them and build tools and tactics to get these forces working for them instead of against them.

"Small changes to gain big rewards with prospects"

5/5

Describe the project or task SlingshotEdge helped with:

Flywire brought Callum and John to meet our EMEA relationship, sales and solutions managers to help them to understand their buyers' world and to learn how to speak to buyers in a way that would connect with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SlingshotEdge?

As a sales organisation we have loved watching what the Slingshot guys do and how they reframe the sales process. The execution of the training was 100% Callum and John took our team on a journey that was easy to follow and made complete sense!

Our favorite part of the process was putting into practice what we had learned throughout the day and changing how we would typically present to our buyers. In doing this, everyone on the team had a chance to think about what they'd do differently. The changes that we made were simple to deploy and encouraged the use of real-life personal stories, which many found would help us to build a connection with buyers quicker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SlingshotEdge?

We all wanted more time with the Slingshot team! Their wealth of experience and knowledge of the sales/ buying process is endless. There wouldn't be a great deal to improve about our time with Callum and John; there was a great mix of training, engagement, fun, and practice to keep everyone involved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SlingshotEdge solving and how is that benefiting you?

Getting prospects engaged and opening up to us about their world can be challenging for us. We often talk about our company's solutions and products rather than on the client.

Callum and John have taught us about our buyers' mind and how best to communicate with our clients and prospects to get the most from our conversations with them to aid the buying process.

Understanding clients better means that we can use language to get customers to engage with us with ease and to open up earlier in the process and tell us about their world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Master communication skills and understand your prospects far better than before."

5/5

Describe the project or task SlingshotEdge helped with:

I've been using Slingshot Edge University and working with Calum. It enabled me to understand and learn the practical and usable aspects of sales psychology which lead to better client discovery and positioning of my services, without the lectures, rants, exams or studying you might expect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SlingshotEdge?

Practical and easy to apply sales methods. They've taken complex psychology, focused on the sales specific aspects of it and crystalised it into an easy to digest, entertaining and memorable format. Having used this for a month now, I'm confident it's helped me turn a page in my development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SlingshotEdge?

Really, there's not a lot I disliked and I was pretty onboard with the whole process. I'd like to have had more content on certain aspects, but that's because they're huge deep topics and I found them really interesting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SlingshotEdge solving and how is that benefiting you?

Discovery calls are probably the hardest part of what I do. There's a goal to get from pleasantries right the way down to the point when they realise that they need your solution - but it's a difficult path to navigate. This has allowed me to understand it differently and given a really neat framework for understanding my prospect and positioning my product to them without the traditional, pushy sales tactics that alienate and lead to lost deals.
