Stop Selling Products—Start Solving Problems. Here’s How I Close More Deals by Focusing on Client Pain Points

One of the biggest mistakes I see businesses making is that they’re too focused on selling their product instead of solving their client’s specific problem. When you’re pushing features or benefits, clients tune out. But when you focus on their pain points, you get their attention.

Here’s why I always lead with the client’s problem instead of selling the product:

Clients care about their pain points first—your product is just a tool to solve it.
When you speak directly to what’s holding them back (wasted time, missed leads, poor conversions), they see you as a problem-solver, not a salesperson.
It builds trust—clients are way more likely to buy from someone who understands their struggles.

Whenever I get on a call, my focus isn’t to pitch my product—it’s to dig into what the client’s biggest challenge is and show how I can fix it.

Is their lead generation broken?
Are they losing sales because of slow follow-ups?
Is their content creation draining too much time?

Once I know the problem, I tailor the solution. That’s how I close deals without pushing products—they’re buying a solution, not a service. If you’re struggling to close deals, ask yourself: are you selling your product or are you solving your client’s problems?
