Definition
SPIN Selling is a research-backed questioning framework that structures discovery into four question types: Situation, Problem, Implication, and Need-payoff. By drawing out a problem and amplifying its cost before presenting a solution, the buyer talks themselves into the need.
Why it matters
It shifts selling from pitching features to uncovering value — the implication questions turn a mild problem into an urgent, fundable one.
