Premise
To engage clients, salespeople have to demonstrate that they know the clients world, and that they are prepared with insights and ideas, to add to what clients already know. Essential Selling Skills covers all these necessary skills.
Description
Buying and purchasing has become a core competency for clients. They evaluate their options against check-lists, and align solutions with their business priorities, and are focused firmly on business outcomes. Clients are interested in reducing risk. They turn to peers and social networks to self-educate, before turning to salespeople.
A core and fun component of Essential Selling Skills are three ‘Role Plays’. 1) Making an Appointment, 2) Asking the Correct Questions, and 3) Closing & Handling Objections. For each role play, a delegate will play the role of either a salesperson, customer or observer. The course is divided into the following topics and modules:
