Hear the Job Behind the Request
Translate a stated feature request into the buyer's underlying job and impact.
Do not demo the noun before you understand the job. Feature request The feature is the buyer's shorthand for an outcome they want. It tells you where to look, but not what matters. Job The job is the progress the buyer is trying to make. In inside sales, the job often includes business impact and personal risk: hit the launch date, protect customer trust, stop manual chasing, or prove a new mandate. SPIN path Use SPIN to unpack the job. Ask what is happening now, where it creates dissatisfaction, what it affects if unchanged, and what improvement would unlock.
