15 mins 0935 to 0950 hrs Collaborative Selling: Collaborate with the customer to match your services with the customer’s needs – two way communication. Consultative Selling: The term 'consultative selling' first appeared in the 1970s book Consultative Selling by Mack Hanan. It describes a selling technique in which the salesperson acts as an expert consultant for his prospect, asking questions to determine the prospect's needs and then using that information to select the best product or service for those needs... ideally, the salesperson's own. Consultative selling frequently works hand-in-hand with value-added selling, in which a salesperson presents customer-specific benefits related to their product or service. The consultative approach, when properly executed, yields a quantity of information about the prospect's wants and needs – which makes it easy for the salesperson to take the next step and present the perfect benefits for those wants and needs. Thoroughly qualifying prospects before setting up an appointment is critically important to a consultative approach. If you the salesperson don't know ahead of time that your product will be a good fit for the prospect, you'll end up wasting a long appointment drawing out the prospect only to discover at the end that you can't provide what they need. Conceptual Selling: To maintain a highly-competitive sales force, every interaction with customers must be conducted to either: Move an opportunity forward Or improve the relationship. Repeatable structure/s that can be applied for more effective/productive interaction with customers. Rain Maker: Authenticity Balance Confidence Desire Customer Centered Selling: Build Relationships Partnership – mutual benefit/profit Consultative Versatile Selling: Adopting your style to the customer’s – analytical, driver, amiable & expressive Strategic Selling: The process of engaging early at the most senior level, aligning with political and economic power, in addressing the most serious problems or opportunities. Then architecting solutions with unique compelling value while setting an agenda that disadvantages or eliminates competitors.

5 mins 0950 to 0955 hrs This is what we are going to cover + questioning techniques from ‘SPIN’ selling Ask the delegates why customers (individuals/companies) buy – open discussion – than show the next slide.
10 mins 0955 to 1010 hrs Emphasize how their & customer’s perception can make the crucial difference between their success & failure as sales executives. Ask the difference between ‘want’ & ‘need’ – everyone wants but few have the buying power to fulfill their want and the intention (need) Ask them what they understand by ‘Value’ – emphasize that value has to be built into a product/services by linking how the product/service will BENEFIT the customer Always think in terms of ‘solving customer’s problems’ then making a sale.
5 mins 1010 to 1015 hrs Individual selling: Feeling dictates almost every customer decision Corporate sales: Both feelings and logic count – good feelings help to connect; so the customers listen and have confidence in you and then & only then you can close. Sales Coordinators are concerned how their decision will affect their professional reputation
