Sales Training

Sales Negotiation Training Infused with Non-Confrontational Interrogation Techniques.

Businesses run on relationships. Relationships are predicated on customer value perceptions. The most successful sales professionals transform their prospects into customers, and their customers into their best sales representatives. These transformations occur when sales professionals generate perceptions of unexpected value by employing an educational approach. Embracing a teaching mentality allows them to attentively listen to their customers, illustrate their understanding of their customer’s world and leverage their expertise to create new perspectives and alternatives.

It is difficult for sales professionals to increase the perception of the value they offer when they ask too many questions, focus on the features and benefits, brag about their perceived differentiating factors, and use the same script in every interaction. The Disciplined Listening Sales Method is designed to increase customers’ value perceptions by preparing sales professionals to capitalize on a patient approach that allows the conversation to come to them, leverages timely illustrations and increases their ability to influence customer commitments.

Prospects and customers consistently provide clues indicating what they know, what their core interests are, what they are willing to invest in and how we can influence their decision making processes. Sales professionals who increase their situational awareness with strategic preparation, observation and inquiry skills will significantly out-sell their competition.
