Why Sales Training?

 

 

Maximizing Your Sales PerformanceA system is defined as - 

“a method or a plan, an established way of doing something recorded in writing”.

Whereas to improvise is

“to perform or make quickly from materials and sources available,

without previous planning”.

 

If you are considering sales training for yourself or your team, here are a
few key questions to ask yourself -

 

  • Do you have a system for working new leads? 

  • Do you have a system for making appointments over the 
    phone?

  • Do you have a system for qualifying your prospects?

  • Do you have a system for quantifying your prospect’s pain? 

  • Do you have a system for presenting your products/services
    as solutions? 

  • Do you have a system for dealing with price objection? 

  • Do you have a system for preparing sales proposals? 

  • Do you have a system for following-up? 

  • Do you have a system for securing the commitment?



Which of these pieces (systems) are you missing? Congratulations if you already have these NINE systems.

How many more sales would you and your team make if you had a system for each of the major steps in your selling process?

Equipping tools for improvement

Equipping Tools for Improvement

By equipping participants with the tools to improve their performance we are able to improve the measurable results for them.

This also lifts their confidence and personal satisfaction.

We know that confidence in salespeople comes from having a good grounding in product knowledge and sales processes and systems to follow.

This in turn creates enthusiasm – the key element for all successful salespeople.

Studies have shown that at any one time only:

  • 5-10% of your potential market are actively looking for a solution that you can provide.

  • The other 90% whilst they may have a need for your products and services are not actively looking.

This means the greatest potential for growth for your business comes from proactively working on this part of the market.
