AI is reshaping how sales methodologies are practised in 2025-2026
AI tooling has begun to reshape how UK B2B sellers practise the methodologies they have been trained on. Specific patterns: AI-augmented MEDDPICC scoring against deal data, AI-driven discovery question suggestions, AI-summarised call analysis against methodology checkpoints, AI-generated business cases and value framing. The methodologies themselves are largely unchanged; the practice of them is being rebuilt around AI augmentation.

GAP Selling: problem-centric methodology by Keenan
GAP Selling (Keenan, 2018) is a problem-centric sales methodology that emphasises deep discovery of the gap between the buyer's current state and desired future state. The methodology pushes hard against feature-led pitching: the seller must understand the buyer's situation more thoroughly than competing methodologies typically demand. Adopted by a meaningful share of UK B2B SaaS sales teams since 2020.
