It's impossible to not communicate, because everything you do--or don't do
sends a message about your solution, your company and YOU. Nowhere is this more
evident than the sales presentation environment. Buyers make instant judgments.
A poorly planned sales presentation sends the message that you don't care about
their business. The customer's response? "Then I don't care to do business with
you."
This IS NOT really a presentation skills class at all. Rather, it is an
experiential workshop focusing on: ·
- HOW buyers' listen, ·
- HOW buyers' make decisions based on their feelings about a speaker, ·
- HOW to make personal style adjustments to fit the buyer's objective/s and
align with your objective/s, ·
- HOW to design a customized message (presentation) based on the above.
In this workshop, sales professionals learn to concentrate on the customer's
business instead of their own solution. They learn how to position themselves as
advisors to the customer, so they don't get viewed as a "product pusher" or
vendor. By building a partnership with the customer, they can base sales on
value instead of price. NOW THEY HAVE COMPETITORS, BUT NO REAL COMPETITION!
Sales Professionals learn how to ask tailored questions that differentiate
themselves from the competitors. And they learn to listen to responses. They
learn how to turn the presentation into a conversation. By using the world's
most powerful coaching tool -- instant video replay--the sales professionals get
to see themselves as others do. This enables them to shed old habits and build
new ones. They succeed in developing not just ideas, but new skills and
behaviors. Behaviors that win more business.
Sloppy selling at any stage can lose the sale - this is especially true
during the sales presentation phase. If the Sales Professional is given the
opportunity to present to an Executive Committee - and it is their ONE AND ONLY
opportunity to showcase selling company - that environment is a HIGH RISK/HIGH
REWARD opportunity.
