Key Areas Of Content:
We teach your sales professionals how to build and deliver a value statement, a structured message that links your capabilities to a known or potential customer issue to increase persuasiveness, to be used in prospecting efforts. Customers can and will disengage quickly and easily if they don’t perceive a benefit or feel that there is a reason to continue speaking with your sales professionals.
We equip sales professionals with a roadmap for quickly gaining the customer’s interest and demonstrating credibility to increase their success in gaining agreement to a meeting. In this program, we teach them to be prepared to gain the customer’s attention quickly.
We teach your sales professionals how to gain a current contact’s agreement to arrange a meeting with a senior-level decision maker. In this program, we increase the sales professional’s chance of getting a meeting with these senior-level decision makers by teaching them how to articulate a compelling reason for the introduction that shows value and minimizes risk to their contact.
As a part of this program, we teach sales professionals a roadmap to ask a current contact for a referral to another contact. We teach them that how they ask influences the chances of successfully obtaining a referral. We ensure they leverage positive experiences and positioning benefits to help foster trust and increase receptivity to giving the referral.
Our content is grounded in behavioral science. The focus on behavioral science across our program matters because we know that buyers make decisions based on both logic and emotion, an important and often overlooked component both buying and selling. In fact, the emotion component of buying overrides the logical one. Sales professionals familiar with behavioral science concepts improve their ability to connect with customers because they have a greater understanding of their customer’s biases and their own. This helps them to more objectively evaluate opportunities and challenges, avoid aggressive behaviors, and reach their goals.
