Customers rarely make decisions because they understand every feature of your product or service. They act when they can see how your offer connects to what matters to them.

In this practical webinar, Zena Collins will show you how to identify your customer’s WIIFM: the outcomes they want, the risks they need to manage, and the concerns shaping their decisions.

You’ll explore practical ways to:

• Distinguish features, benefits, and customer-specific value
• Map the priorities of different stakeholders
• Use AI to research customer language and develop stronger hypotheses
• Prepare better discovery questions and more relevant outreach
• Apply the SCRIPT™ framework to keep business development human-led

Using real business development examples, you’ll leave with a repeatable approach for creating stronger conversations, proposals, and follow-up using AI to improve preparation without automating the relationship.
