Other-Centered® Selling (OCS)

The sales training program that solves the #1 problem sales reps face – receptivity

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 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.

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.

When ASLAN was hired, our goal was to grow from just under $700 million to $2 Billion. We achieved the goal in just 3 years and ASLAN played a key role. Not only do they have the best sales development programs but their ability to learn our business and customize the program was exactly what we needed to transition our sales force.

To determine the impact training would have on our business, we hired ASLAN to train our inbound reps in two of our four call centers. Bottom line, we recouped our six-figure investment in 30 days. Reps that were trained outperformed untrained reps by almost 8X.

We wanted to test the impact of ASLAN’s approach, so we trained a select group of veteran reps and managers and compared the results. The reps that were trained and coached outperformed their peers by 56%.

Our field guys gave this program the highest rating because it took the mystery out of prospecting. They learned where to focus, how to get there, and it wasn’t based on cheesy manipulation tactics. It’s the best program I’ve seen.

Fortune 100 Medical Manufacturer

Vice President

Of all the initiatives we’ve rolled out this year, ASLAN’s Catalyst program has been the star of the show. Your process, your ability to understand our DNA was truly amazing. You guys are freak’n awesome to work with! Every time I talked to one of our leaders they rave about the program. Not only was the program extremely successful but your people blew us away. Everyone we met with from ASLAN, were truly exceptional. We love our partnership with ASLAN.

Vice President of National Sales Training

Someone asked me recently why I've sold more than 2 times the nearest seller and get 25% more appointments. The simple answer is most reps don't understand how to create receptivity. I've used this other centered approach to selling since 2015. It completely reframes how you think about selling and that's why it works.

Tyler Bergman

Regional Vice President, Financial Services

Selling is dumb. Don’t sell things. Listen, be genuine, be curious. This philosophy and approach helped me find my voice as an account manager. Instead of providing me with antiquated sales scripts, I learned how to navigate the roadblocks that were keeping me from growing my accounts and it’s helped me consistently exceed both my professional and quota goals.

Blake Schlukbier

Global Account Manager, Red Hat

This strategy and methodology moved my team from good to great, outperforming teams four times our size. We are now guides and managers of the sales process rather than pushers and pullers. Employing these techniques opened doors with decision makers who consistently denied access in the past. Bottom line, it worked in the toughest market we’ve ever faced.
