Sales Skills

The role of the salesperson has changed dramatically
over the years. In the 1930’s and 1940’s
the sales person was a presenter of information.
The product was seen as more important than the
client. In the 1950’s and 1960’s the
concept of need-benefit was born. The sales person
worked to discover client needs and then demonstrated
how their products and services fulfilled those
needs.
By the 1970’s many industries realized that
in order to compete, their sales force had to adopt
consultative roles with the client. The relationship
between the salesperson and client was viewed as
long-term. In the 1980’s and 1990’s
this developed into a concept of consultant and
"partnering with the client."
Today we still view the most effective salespeople
as consultants to their clients, although
the focus has shifted entirely onto the client.
In this 2-day course, we will move even closer
to the concept of "partnering with the
client" by employing a truly customer-centric
approach to selling. Through interactive exercises
and role-plays, sales professionals will apply
the learning initiatives taught to help them
identify and satisfy customer needs not only
to win the business, but to also help promote
long-term customer relationships. |
