Being better prepared:
Creating A Mindset To Succeed
From how to start your day to how to maintain a helpful mindset when challenged.
Building Trust
Understanding how empathy and rapport build trust.
Understanding Customer Needs
Their known and unknown needs. How to ask questions that reveal needs and open minds.
Effective Communication
From reading body language to effective verbal and written communication styles. Communicate clearly, persuasively and confidently with customers. This includes active listening to understand customer needs and concerns, asking the right questions, presenting the value proposition of products or services at the right time and in a way that fits your customer.
Taking Notes
Improve how you capture key information quickly, such as specific requirements, valuable intelligence, insights and action items. Notes demonstrate a genuine interest in understanding customer needs and concerns, which can help build rapport and trust.
Ensure that nothing important is overlooked or forgotten. Notes serve as the best reference point for follow up with customers or colleagues.
Resilience and Persistence
Sales requires resilience and persistence in the face of rejection and setbacks. Successful sales professionals possess a positive attitude, tenacity and the ability to bounce back from rejection to continue pursuing opportunities.
PSL courses incorporate practical exercises, case studies, and real-world applications to make the training beneficial and measurable.
Problem-Solving Skills
The ability to think critically, overcome objections and find creative solutions to customer needs is vital for success.
Relationship Building
Building rapport, establishing trust and nurturing ongoing relationships to foster customer loyalty and repeat business.
Honesty and Integrity
Maintaining honesty and integrity is essential for building trust and credibility with customers. It can also be a trigger that needs managing to prevent us from saying the wrong things (for the right reasons), to help us to listen, ask better questions and learn what is most important for our customers or clients.
Proposals and Quotations
How to make these more competitive and compelling for your customers.
Discounting
Learn how to compare value and cost. Stop giving away discount that you do not need to.
Discounting can be helpful. If it is used carelessly it can undermine the value that customers will ultimately gain and the growth of your business.
Time Management
How to optimise your time, performance and life. This includes setting goals, planning activities, and efficiently allocating resources to time in order to achieve or exceed sales targets. Use DDT (day, date, time) to build commitment and trust.
People Skills
Understanding the mind and how to get the best out of yourself and others.
Hard and Soft Selling
Hard selling is primarily focused on pushing the product or service onto the customer, regardless of whether it truly meets their requirements or provides value to them. Learn how to use a softer more considerate, customer-centric approach to sales, focusing on understanding and addressing the needs of the customer.
Decision Making
Gain insights that will help you to understand how customers really make decisions. Understand the power of imagination, fantasy and logic and how these apply to decision making.
By developing and practicing with these skills and qualities, sales professionals can increase their effectiveness, build strong relationships with customers, and achieve success.
Objection Handling
Learn how to address common objections. How to build bridges that help your customers to get to where they want to go - through using your products or services.
Closing Techniques
Trying to convince customers to move forward with the transaction is a sign that their needs and objectives have not been understood. Learn how to use intelligent closing techniques that make customers feel certainty, a sense of being valued and in control.
