The days of the ‘hard sell’, with its over-hyped promises and pressuring of buyers to accept an offer, are over. Today, consultative selling demands far greater levels of research, rapport-building and strategic communication from sales professionals.
Yet regardless of the approach, every journey to a sale contains risks and moments of no return. And even veteran salespeople can miss these turning points, jeopardizing the chances of closing – or even damaging the credibility of their product or service.
Yet regardless of the approach, every journey to a sale contains risks and moments of no return. And even veteran salespeople can miss these turning points, jeopardizing the chances of closing – or even damaging the credibility of their product or service.
Capitalizing on such moments takes meticulous research to pre-analyze a buyer’s priorities, decode his or her interest level accurately, and ask the strategic questions to build trust and overcome objections with authority.The Consultative Selling Workshop covers these competencies in-depth over five modules, through an interactive, learn-by-doing methodology, covering the sales process A-Z.
This includes multiple case studies, self-assessments and role-plays, as well as back-at-work exercises to apply new knowledge. There is also ample opportunity for Q&A and personalized feedback to further deepen selling skills.
This Workshop is for both experienced and new sales professionals, and will also greatly benefit entrepreneurs and consultants.
