Say Less . . . Sell More – Consultative Sales Skills for Strategic Relationships as a Trusted Advisor

 

“And I thought I had heard it all before,” said the 25 year sales veteran at the end of the training. “But this IS new.” 

 

Research is now showing that the practices of most sales people do not work.  “Closing techniques”, “overcoming objections”, “features and benefits” were invented in the 1920’s and not only don’t work, THEY DRIVE AWAY CUSTOMERS! 

 

Cutting edge sales skills now require the consultative skills of a doctor or lawyer.  To become a trusted advisor you have to know the four types of questions that are used by top achievers.  You must learn how to pull out the customer’s priorities, passions, and problems . . . to become consultative. 

 

In Say Less . . . Sell More you will:

 

·         Learn how to comfortably “move up the food chain” and engage senior executives who have the economic ability to say “yes”. . . even when they don’t have the budget.

·         Motivate customer’s to take action NOW.

·         Find out the one thing that top producing sales representatives ALL do that sets them apart from mediocrity.

·         Discover how to create “champions” within your customers, who sell you internally.

 

This session will give you an easy to use method that is brilliant and yet simple, that gets results.  You will find yourself selling in ways that make you a strategic partner.  You will be able to proactively control the sale using your clients own vision and directions based on the skills you get in this session.
