Consultative Selling

Consultative Selling

This highly interactive two-day Consultative Selling workshop helps sales professionals and consultants improve selling performance through the application of a time tested consultative selling process and client interaction practices. In addition, it provides essential skills for professionals in team selling environments.

Description

Most professionals involved in the sales process want to be more successful, both in terms of their sales interactions with prospects and clients, and in their sales results. They want to make more sales, and make them faster. Their success depends not only on their ability to sell, but to also build strong, long-lasting relationships with their clients.

The Consultative Selling Workshop teaches professionals to apply a proven, systematic relationship-building sales process so they can:

  • Engage more meaningfully in selling activities with prospects and clients.
  • Link their company’s offerings to clients’ strategic business problems and opportunities.
  • Establish their value over time to continually distinguish themselves and their companies from the competition.

In the workshop participants learn to consultatively move clients toward recognizing that they want what is being sold, need it above what the competition is offering, and are ready to move to buying now. They learn to quickly formulate a sales and communication strategy based on client personality and style tendencies, powerfully present the unique value their product/solution will provide, and conduct sales interactions using a systematic process to improve outcomes and move the sales process forward in every interaction. Participants build on and apply these skills in a four-phase solution selling process that helps them close more deals while reducing sales cycle time.
