We will then discuss how to handle the competition related to offering similar products and services. Students will learn how to ask good questions, listen effectively, and how to handle objections. They will learn to be aware of surroundings to better understand specific circumstances and situations.

Students will learn how to address pricing, teamwork buying signals, and closing a sale.
  • Selling the Real Value of Your Solution
    Successful sales today require different skills, methods and approaches to break through the budget concerns, fear and uncertainty created by the recession. Today, the effective salesperson must fully understand the critical business needs of the prospect. Then, he or she must build and demonstrate true business value to the decision maker(s) and present a compelling business case showing bottom line return on investment. Value-based negotiation techniques should then be used to close the business - quickly and profitably.

    Since most people involved in the sales process learn best by doing, this modular workshop is highly interactive. Throughout each of the four modules, participants will have opportunities to practice and apply the concepts covered in the workshop. Application exercises will be used to reinforce and support use of the concepts in the real world between workshop sessions (when offered in 2 ˝ day sessions) and at the end of the program.

    Workshop Format
    The modular 2 session format will allow participants to complete a series of Application Exercises between the two sessions to practice using the techniques learned in the workshop – for feedback and review in the second session.

    Registration Information
    Investment of $1,295/person for the complete program. Special pricing is available for organizations with 3 or more attendees.
