The art of selling

To ensure staff who deal with customers learn the key skills, techniques and behaviours of selling.

About the programme
The best thing about dealing with a good salesperson is you don't feel like you're being sold to. As far as you're concerned you're just receiving good service.

The art of selling is designed to equip your staff with all the skills and techniques they need to approach sales opportunities with confidence.

To make this programme as relevant as possible it looks at many different scenes in which all sales staff can relate to such as: department store, DIY store, bank services such as mortgages, overdrafts, loans and insurance, shoe shop and many more.

The art of selling uses humorous right and wrong way scenarios to teach new skills in a memorable way. It covers the four key stages of selling, in both retail and financial situations:

bullet

Winning the customer's confidence: how your actions can affect customers

bullet

Discovering their need: the importance of listening to your customers

bullet

The importance of product knowledge: how knowing your products inside out will help you offer your customers what they want, and in turn build your conference

Closing the sale: why silence could be your new best friend

Included in the programme are specific DVD extras for both the retail and financial sales. These cover everything from handling complaints to dealing with obnoxious customer.

Ask for the order

To help sales people close a deal

Do you remember the old parable: “Give them a fish and they’ll eat for a day, teach them how to fish and they’ll eat for a lifetime.” Well, closing the sale is the same thing. Teach them (your salespeople) the skill of how to improve their closing of sales and you give them and your organization a gift for a lifetime- consistently much higher sales. That’s the gift that keeps on giving to everyone.

Ask for the order demonstrates both the right way/wrong way of closing techniques, all based on realistic scenarios within a diverse arrange of businesses.

Competitive Edge

The difference between making an on-site sales call and making a sale requires one very important factor: collaboration. CRM's newest release, The Competitive Edge, will show your sales force how to incorporate collaboration into every sale and positively impact your bottom line. With The Competitive Edge, viewers eavesdrop on site calls made by three reps to one overworked, under-functioning publishing house. All three reps make important strides, but only one leaves with the sale.

Whether conducting an orientation session for new sales reps or a kick-off refresher for veteran staff, The Competitive Edge will put your reps in their customer's shoes, enabling them to sell as they would want to be sold. The results? More sales and greater profits.

Participants will learn:

bulletPre-call planning - know your customer, be prepared.
bulletBuild a relationship - create a level of comfort, a basis for trust.
bulletConduct a needs analysis - establish dialog that will draw out your customer's real needs. Remember: you are really looking for a solution for your customer, not a sale.
bulletListen - active listening allows you to gather critical information, often by hearing what your customer doesn't say.
bulletPresentation - provide your customer with hard data about how their firm will benefit from your product or service.
bulletOvercome objections - every objection contains the key to a solution. Find it.
bulletAsk for the sale - close the deal with a signature or deposit. If you have succeeded with the prior steps, this will be a natural conclusion to your meeting.

Program Contents:

bulletVHS or DVD (17 min), Leaders Guide, Overhead Masters, Pocket Reminder Cards, Video Meeting Closer, 10 Handbooks for Participants

Sell it to me!
Essential skills for all salespeople

To equip both new and experienced sales staff with the necessary skills to develop and nurture professional and productive customer relationships.

Sell it to me! is the best-selling two-part programme on how to build relationships with customers that ensure you sell.

Part 1: preparing the way, explains the techniques that help salespeople conduct successful business. A series of light-hearted scenarios emphasise the importance of asking open-ended questions and the need to listen carefully to what the customer is actually saying.

By examining a couple of ‘worst case’ examples, viewers learn how to keep control of a presentation and how to avoid making dangerous assumptions that could cost them the sale.

Part 2: doing the deal tackles customer objections. By making them specific and putting them in perspective, sales staff will be able to provide compensating benefits to their customers.

The programme explains how to set achievable objectives, prepare alternatives, and then put it all into practice by closing the deal. It reinforces the fact that even skilled salespeople can fail to spot buying signals or spoil a close by continuing to sell after the deal has been done.

Who Killed the Sale?

How everybody in the organisation can affect customer relationships

Who Killed the Sale? Is one of the all-time best selling training videos. It has now been completely re-made to reflect business needs in the new millennium
Retaining the key themes captured in the original video, this updated version follows the drama of a manufacturing company trying to sell its products to a prospect against a background of small, but cumulative inefficiencies. These inefficiencies, involving employees from a number of areas, are varied but all combine to destroy customer confidence.
Situations and settings show commercial life as it is today, with tension building throughout the plot as the viewer is taken between scenes to actions and reactions from both sides of the deal. Contemporary and totally engaging, this video will challenge and involve all those who watch it, encouraging them to take a personal responsibility for customer satisfaction.

 

Key Learning Areas

bulletEveryone who has contact with customers plays a part in winning, keeping or losing sales
 
bulletHaving the best product does not guarantee the order
 
bulletAttitude can be just as important outside the organisation as inside
 
bulletGood communication within an organisation is vitally important in providing excellent customer care


Programme includes: main video 23 minutes. Summary video 7 minutes, Presenter's Guide: Session Plans, OHPs and Handouts (printable from CD- ROM).

The Challenge of Objections
Objections are a part of life. Whether they become a major problem usually depends on the way they are initially handled
Set in a surreal toyshop, a sales person (John Gordon Sinclair) buys 'the Selling Game' from Patrick Barlow. The characters in the 'game' are programmed to make objections, and the challenge is in learning to overcome them. Our sales person soon learns that coping with customers isn't easy.
The amusing failures and successes which occur during the game illustrate the techniques for handling objections successfully. The sales person must 'refine' a customer's vague objection into a specific problem, then 'convert' it into a question that can be answered and then close the sale. The examples used in the video come from both product and service industries and will therefore suit a wide audience

 

Key Learning Areas

bullet

Objections are an inevitable part of selling
 

bullet

Never argue
 

bullet

Many objections are just excuses not to buy
 

bullet

Use excuses to redefine customer needs


Programme includes: Main video 20 minutes. Summary video 10 minutes. Presenter's Guide: Session Plans, OHPs and Handouts (printable from CD-ROM).
