Win more new business, more easily…
using proven, ethical selling skills that really work!
Professional selling isn’t easy, even though experienced sellers might make it look that way. You must be able to concisely convey your ideas, know how to listen closely, recognise verbal and non-verbal signals, and quickly build trust; all while staying focused on identifying your prospects core decision drivers and goals.
- Have you (or your team) struggled with how to manage meetings with prospects?
- Ever got stuck with what to say, what to ask, or how to respond to objections?
- Do your sales conversations go off-track or get derailed by your prospects?
- Have you ever been disappointed or frustrated by prospects who seem insincere or give misleading answers?
- Do you hate feeling like a ‘sales person’ when speaking with prospects?
Technology isn’t the answer
Too many people in sales now rely on technology to do the selling. Email. LinkedIn. Facebook. Google ad’s. Webinars. Blogs. CRM systems. All are great tools but they are no substitute for strong face-to-face selling skills. In the business-to-business world many sales go to the sellers who develop a tangible relationship with the client.
Successful sellers get to know and understand their client (and thereby become trusted by the client) due to the way they manage their in-person sales conversations, whether that be face to face or over the phone.
“The idea of different communication styles was a light bulb moment for me and will make me assess more carefully how I approach people to increase my chances of being successful. And the techniques to identify inconsistencies in peoples stories will change the way that I talk to people and where I steer the conversation.”
– Kacey Clifford, Australian Radio Towers“I’ve had thoughts around how to improve our sales strategy in the past and looked at many methods. This was the first that gave ‘practical’ application of the model. Seeing and doing it myself will make me more likely to follow through. The best aspect of the session was the small group, more personalised, and applying the SOX method to an actual sales situation.”
– Brendan McAuliffe, Paintec
