Close More Sales! 1 day program

Your ability to Close Sales is the most important single factor that determines your success. Whether you have a product that you believe has a market or you are an expert selling services, the only way you will succeed is if you close the opportunities that come your way. If you don’t, then your product or expertise has limited tangible value and price is immaterial. On the other hand if you are already successful, your next challenge is growth, which will come through closing ever more Sales.

Even highly experienced sales people sometimes hit difficulties when Closing Sales, but what makes those people successful in the first place and eventually gets them back on track, is their knowledge of managing sales processes and buyers to personal advantage. That’s what "Close More Sales!" is all about.  It’s easy and has a lasting significance but only when you have been taught how to do it properly.

Selling Solutions Successfully 1 day program

In sales, everyone talks about making value propositions and selling solutions, but in truth many salespeople still rely on tactical selling of product/service features, while heavily competing on price. Higher value sales, larger margins and longer lasting customer relationships are prizes to be gained by moving up the value chain and positioning sales propositions that prove their value to the customer.

We work with you to educate, train and reinforce the principles of good selling with your sales force to ensure they are not just order takers but efficient corporate salespeople, who sell solutions not just products.

Sales Awareness for Consultants & Technical staff  2 x 1 day programs

Understanding Sales disciplines and techniques is a subject that is often overlooked by people in the belief that it is unimportant. When we work in Sales teams we are invariably seen by clients as "sales people" whether we have a sales background and motivation or not. All touches with the client are contributory factors to winning new, and in particular, repeat business. Everyone needs the right mindset in a sales team.

Knowing how to maximise your potential in transactional environment is a key component to the overall sales objective. This course examines the interactions between Buyers and Sellers, how building relationships is critical to success and trains people to think mainly from a commercial perspective. The blend of practical exercises ensure that delegates understand the theory and have ample opportunity put it into practice.

This course particularly suits people who are members of sales teams in Corporations, where selling is not their major function. The course is also aimed at people who predominately work for themselves selling either products and their own expertise as services.

Effective Presentation Skills 1 day program

Have you ever sat through a presentation and wished you were somewhere else? In the age of the Internet, email and tele-conferencing it is easy to overlook how powerful and important a traditional presentation remains.

The Corporate Sales presentation sets the mark for your organisation. It identifies the positioning, the strengths and the benefits that your customers will gain. Putting your presentation together and ensuring your message is clearly and accurately conveyed is key.
