Hiring Managers, customer centricity in sales isn't optional—it's essential.
But what does it truly mean? It's more than just "putting customers first." It means:
- Genuinely caring about customer needs.
- Engaging prospects by listening first, speaking second.
- Committing only to what you can realistically deliver while managing expectations transparently.
Want to instantly spot customer-centric candidates?
Use a discovery call simulation. Provide candidates with detailed prep materials beforehand.
Then observe closely:
- Do they dive straight into pitching, assuming they know it all from the prep materials?
- Or do they still actively listen, ask meaningful questions, validate needs, and explore deeper for any additional requirements?
- How do they handle unexpected questions—do they confidently admit they don’t know and commit to finding out, or do they just wing it?
Their reactions reveal their true mindset.
