March 7 (morning) - Adapting Your Sales Approach to Different Personality Styles

Most folks do the same “pitch” to everyone, without adapting their presentation at all. Learn how to adjust your presentation style based on not only your prospects personality, but yours too!

What you will learn:

  • Why is it important to adjust and adapt?
  • How do you gauge the prospects personality?
  • What aspects such as gender, age and ethnicity cause you to adjust?
  • What specific adjustments do you need to make?

March 21 (noon) - Getting the Appointment: Building Instant Rapport with Prospects

There is a specific science and process to securing appointments with prospects. We will teach you how to improve your “batting average”, netting you even more appointments. 

What you will learn:

  • Learn how to make a good impression in those first 30 seconds.
  • How do you clearly articulate your value proposition?
  • How should you approach a prospect during a cold call?
  • How do you overcome those initial objections and put-offs?

April 4 (morning) - Questioning & Listening Techniques

Without a doubt, the most important part of the sales process is in asking great questions.  If you know what to ask, you will more than likely uncover potential “pain points” your client has that your product/service can serve.

What you will learn:

  • How asking good questions separates the great from the mediocre.
  • How to dig deep to find pain in your prospect.

April 18 (noon) - Building a World-class Database for Your Business. For Free!
