Consultative selling focuses on creating value and building relationships and trust before discussing solutions, as opposed to the traditional “hard” sales process. This helps you to truly understand your clients’ needs, their motivations and the value you can add to their organisation. A consultative approach requires good listening and questioning skills to respond flexibly to customer situations and successfully deliver on their outcomes. Because it focuses on a partnership approach that benefits and provides long-term rewards for both parties, consultative selling is extremely effective in creating long-term, trusted relationships.
After the course you will be able to: • Understand your natural sales style, its strengths and limitations, and have an action list to improve your performance • Create effective partnerships with clients that are productive, meaningful, profitable and long-term • Examine and practise the process of consultative selling to ensure a win-win approach • Effectively use rapport, listening and questioning techniques to facilitate meaningful needs analysis with a range of clients • Understand types of buyers and the primary methods of selling to them • Acquire a thorough grounding in the sales process from an initial needs analysis meeting through to the final presentation and close. • Feel confident in selling, using consultative methodologies with a wide range of clients
