Tele-Selling with Impact

Program Rationale

Telephone Selling Skills are more important today than ever before.  Get the essential tools to reach your goals and gain commitments by phone.

Conducting business over the phone is more challenging today. In this age of automated voice trees, voice mail, customers who don’t return sales calls, uncooperative gatekeepers, and not enough time in the day to get everything done, it’s more difficult to prospect, set appointments, build relationships, uncover needs, etc. when you just can’t get through to the customer – more difficult, but not impossible! We can show you how.

The days of the traveling salesman going from city to city holding face-to-face meetings with prospects are fast receding in the rearview mirror. In the digital age, aggressive companies stay competitive by transferring most of their core selling processes to their websites and telesales staff. It is quite possible that the top salesperson in your company has never spoken face to face with a single customer. However, it could also be possible that you are experiencing high sales staff turnover, low sales closing rates, or both because your telesales staff doesn’t have the skills to become super sales reps.

Our two-days Tele-Selling with Impact phone sales training seminar is designed to transform your telesales staff from simple order takers into full-fledged consultative sales account representatives. Our experienced sales training instructors will provide practice and personal coaching in a wide variety of listening and questioning skills that will enable your telesales staff to build rapport with callers and uncover important customer needs.

 On-Site Training: training can be tailored to the needs of the client organization and delivered on-site at the time and location of client choice.
