SNAP Selling: The Smarter Way to Connect with Busy Buyers

Why Do You Need a New Approach to Selling?

Buyers today are overwhelmed, short on time, and resistant to sales pitches. They have too many choices and too much information—so how do you cut through the noise?

That’s where SNAP Selling comes in. Created by sales expert Jill Konrath, SNAP is designed to make buying easier, faster, and more relevant. Instead of pushing a sale, you become a trusted guide, helping buyers make confident decisions.

Let’s break it down.

What is SNAP Selling?

SNAP Selling is built on the idea that today’s buyers are:

  • Frazzled: They’re busy, overwhelmed, and distracted.
  • Short on Time: They make decisions quickly and don’t have time for unnecessary complexity.
  • Skeptical: They’re cautious about whom they trust and are resistant to being sold to.

The SNAP framework helps salespeople align their approach to meet the needs of these modern buyers. It focuses on four key principles:

  1. S – Keep it Simple
    Simplify the decision-making process for your buyer. Don’t overwhelm them with too much information or unnecessary steps. Make their choice as easy as possible.

  2. N – Be Invaluable
    Position yourself as a trusted advisor. Show that you understand their needs and can deliver unique value that aligns with their priorities.

  3. A – Align with Priorities
    Focus on what’s most important to your buyer. Tailor your pitch to address their top challenges and goals.

  4. P – Raise Priorities
    Help buyers see why they need to act now by emphasizing the urgency and importance of solving their problems.

How Do You Apply SNAP Selling in Real Life?

Here’s how to use the SNAP framework in your sales conversations:

Keep It Simple: Buyers don’t have time for long-winded pitches. Cut the fluff and focus on the essentials.
Example: Instead of a 20-slide deck, highlight three key ways your product solves their problem.

Be Invaluable: Do your research. Bring insights that buyers can’t find on their own.
Example: Share a case study of a similar company and real data on how you helped them succeed.

Align with Priorities: What’s your buyer’s biggest challenge? Match your solution to their exact needs.
Example: If they care about efficiency, focus on how your product saves them time—not just its features.

Raise Priorities: Help buyers see the cost of waiting. Make their problem feel urgent.
Example: "Every month this issue continues, you’re losing X dollars. Let’s fix that today."

Why Does SNAP Selling Work?

  1. Shortens Sales Cycles – By keeping things simple and urgent, deals close faster.
  2. Builds Trust – Buyers see you as a partner, not just a salesperson.
  3. Boosts Close Rates – Aligning with priorities makes your solution impossible to ignore.
  4. Reduces Stress – A clear, structured approach makes sales conversations easier and more effective.
