TSV Podcast #12 - type-1 and type-2 selling

Capping the downsides first, or pitching the differentiation

In this podcast, we explore the difference between two types of selling:

  • For B2B, when migration is traumatic, you must first pitch by addressing and capping the downsides.

  • For B2C, where the product is commodity-sized or churn is extremely high, you need to pitch the upside and make it feel critical.

We will see how type 1 critical products should market themselves like type 2, and how type 2 critical products should sell themselves as if they were type 1, emphasizing their critical nature.
