Key learnings from Conceptual Selling with Perspective sales training classes

To succeed in sales, every interaction with customers must be treated as an opportunity to move forward or improve the relationship.

Today, effective sales training must put the customer at the center of all sales training courses. Customers sift through more information than ever before, leading to information overload and difficulty in sales planning. When sellers plan a selling concept for these valuable interactions, they not only make the most of their time with customers, they also increase the likelihood of an opportunity closing and uncover more potential opportunities.

Those who take this sales training course will learn that:

  • Anytime a salesperson meets with a customer, two processes take place simultaneously. While salespeople have typically been trained to focus on the selling process, from the customer's perspective, there is also a buying process that must be recognized and understood. Solving the misalignment between these two processes is an outcome of Conceptual Selling with Perspective.
  • There is no such thing as customer solutions or value propositions that are one-size-fits-all. The only way to understand what will help you win is to ask the right questions and listen. This sales training class provides a simple, repeatable structure that should be considered essential for anyone who interacts with customers.
  • This is one of our most popular and most effective sales training classes available to sellers, often making top-ten lists for teams building enterprise sales strategies and for sales leadership searching for effective selling planners.

Taking this selling concept training will allow you to enhance all of your sales interactions with customers, whether you are engaging them in a scheduled, multi-attendee meeting or an impromptu, one-to-one session.
