ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ

In today’s sales, the buying process usually involves a group of indecisive decision makers who can get easily confused or side-tracked. Very often the biggest competitor is not in fact another company, but INACTION: the customer simply chooses to do nothing. 

Therefore, there is a need for a more effective selling strategy, a methodology that shakes up and alerts your customer from their ‘sleeping state’ and compels them to want to do business with you. 

This seminar will deliver a clear step-by-step sales methodology that empowers professionals to shock their customer by exposing hidden risks or opportunities they are missing out on, and guide the customer towards a new way of doing things.  

This seminar will help professionals assertively take control of the customer conversation and drive the sale home. 

ΣΚΟΠΟΣ ΣΕΜΙΝΑΡΙΟΥ

The methodology has such a clear structure that both seasoned professionals as well as professionals with relatively limited sales experience will be able to adopt the sales methodology and produce impressive results in a limited amount of time. 

More specifically, through this programme participants will be able to: 

• Distinguish what consultative selling is, and why it is so effective in selling high-value products and services 
• Learn how to help clients express all their important business needs by assisting them to uncover needs that are hidden from their view 
• Determine how to re-frame the customer’s point of view 
• Determine how to powerfully take control of the customer conversation in a way that leaves the customer inspired and ready to do business with you 
• Learn to uncover the real reason behind each objection the client voices out, and to establish a mechanism for managing such objections 
• Use assertive techniques to advance the sale in a way that respects nowadays decision makers and achieves results
