All Your Sales Questions, Answered 

Manage key selling challenges through selling skills that can be learned 

This interactive workshop will focus on the tips and techniques you need to sell effectively. The moderators, both seasoned sales executives, will lead participants through a collaborative conversation to find out the most challenging issues facing them and their organizations in selling their products/services. During this forum, participants will explore their own unique selling challenges with input from their peers.

During the conversation, you will have the opportunity to define your target market, list your product’s features and benefits, and practice your sales skills in a brief simulation. Workshop will describe how selling techniques like establishing rapport, probing, handling objections and closing the sale can overcome the fear of selling that so many experience. You will emerge with the realization that selling is a learned skill, accessible to everyone.

At the end of the workshop, you will be able to:

  • Explain why selling is everyone’s job
  • Describe how making customers feel important is key to establishing rapport
  • Distinguish between your product’s features and benefits
  • Summarize the four step sales call process: Rapport, Probing for Needs, Matching needs to benefits and Summarizing/Closing
  • Discuss how summarizing needs and benefits supports the sale

Who should attend?
Anyone involved, interested and/or responsible for growing your company’s sales.

Join us: Actively participate in a valuable and open discussion of the selling process, how and why it works. After the workshop, put these lessons to work at your company to close more deals. Schedule a free follow-up 1-on-1 session with a SCORE NYC Mentor.
