Other-Centered® Selling (OCS)
The sales training program that solves the #1 problem sales reps face – receptivity
What is Other-Centered® Selling (OCS)?
Other-Centered selling is a sales training program. OCS is simply about a shift from “selling” to determining how to serve customers through each stage of the consultative process. When the customer’s needs are understood, embraced, and addressed, barriers are eliminated and buying becomes easier.

The Game Has Changed
The sales landscape looks very different than it did 10 years ago. More reps are struggling because buyers have changed…but sellers haven’t.
Due to the tsunami of information, the vast majority of customers are no longer receptive to working with a “seller” - driving rep turnover and decline in reps hitting their targets.



Our Approach is Different
Sales organizations don’t have a sales problem, they have a buyer receptivity problem.
To drive buyer engagement and influence decisions, sellers need to redefine their role, adopt a new mindset, adjust their process, and develop new skills.

What Makes OCS Different?
Change is hard – we make it easier by taking a radically different approach.
Address Resistance
The hesitancy to sell is an elephant in the room that has to be addressed. We remove this barrier by reframing the role as one focused on service, as opposed to pushing a product.
Shift Mindset
The process begins and ends with an Other-Centered mindset, where sales revolves around uncovering customer needs, whether stated or unstated.
Create Value
When reps choose to serve, they can clearly see the difference between pushing a product, and proactively leading a customer to solutions that address specific needs or challenges.
Transform
Transformation is the goal, as reps become trusted advisors they transition from…
- Reactively responding to customer requests to leading the conversation
- Making scripted offers to providing unique recommendations
- Being uncomfortable with closing to offering the best option for advancing the call
- Meeting the customer’s service expectations to exceeding expectations
Improve Loyalty
When the service is the focus, everyone wins. Reps are happy, customers have their needs met, and relationships with customer loyalty improves.
Address Resistance
Most sales training isn’t geared for contact centers. The hesitancy to sell is an elephant in the room that has to be addressed. We remove this barrier by reframing the role as one focused on service, as opposed to pushing a product.
