What Will You Learn?

Close the gap, close the deal – GAP SELLING teaches that solving problems beats pitching products.

This gap-based sales system explains:

  • Current State Analysis – Understand where the buyer is today
  • Future State Vision – Clarify where they want to go
  • The Gap – Define the value of closing it
  • Problem-Centric Selling – Sell outcomes, not features


2025 application: Buyers care less about pitches and more about solving real business gaps.

Win deals with Click.Apply.Grow™: Diagnose gaps, sell outcomes, and drive impact. Teams using this method close higher-value, stickier deals.

No gap. No sale.
