Improving Sales Performance through CustomerCentric Selling

Improving Sales Performance through CustomerCentric Selling is a 3.5 day workshop designed for sales, business development and marketing teams or individuals, as well as executives and other senior managers.

The program provides participants with an in-depth understanding of the sales process, training in the application of critical sales skills, and information regarding the use of sales support and management technologies to improve results. The program will focus on:

  • Comprehensive training in CustomerCentric Selling,  a repeatable and auditable consultative sales process that is aligned with your target market's purchasing habits; and
  • The integration of marketing strategy and tactics into the sales process through the introduction of Sales Ready Messaging®; and

  • Prospecting/business development
  • Need development
  • Business value identification, creation and measurement
  • Prospect qualification and disqualification
  • Sales process control
  • Negotiation and expectation management

Active Learning Process:
workshopIn the seminar, participants will learn the "how and why" of sales.  To help ensure competency in the application of sales skills, participants will practice core skills in three (3) in-class labs and seven (7) role-plays, all supervised by a CustomerCentric Selling® coach. The participants will also apply core skills in context of an in-depth evening group Case Study assignment.

The Case Study assignment (team size: 4 - 6 participants) focuses on improving the probability of success in an existing targeted opportunity. The participants will form or fine-tune specific strategies to better handle an existing large opportunity using CustomerCentric Selling® tactics and tools. The evening work culminates with a presentation to the entire group on the final day of the seminar. This exercise alone has produced an immediate return on investment for many client companies.
Organizational benefits include increased revenues, improved forecasting accuracy, and most importantly, improved margins. Margin improvements typically result from shortened sales cycles, more effective marketing campaigns, and a lower cost of sales management and administration.
