Consultative Selling

​Consultative selling has similarities to value-based selling in that it focuses on the specific needs and problems of the customer. However, in consultative selling, the salesperson has industry-specific knowledge, which allows them to provide expert advice to their customers.

The salesperson's role is very much an advisory role in which they may ask probing questions to fully understand their customer's needs. The emphasis in consultative selling is on building long-term customer relationships, often prioritizing this over immediate sales.
