Sales — Collaborative Selling

How to Gain the Competitive Advantage in Selling Selling today has evolved from a transactional, one-shot sale mentality to building lifetime customer relationships; from persuading and telling to problem solving and helping; from low-price selling to value-added selling. In this interactive session, Tony shows your sales and service reps how to become a solution consultant by focusing more on studying customer needs and assuring customer satisfaction than on pitching product features. Some of the guiding philosophies of this program include:

Prescription before diagnosis is malpractice

People don't buy because they're made to understand, they buy because they feel understood
Professionals are defined not by the business they're in, but by the way they're in business
When two people want to do business together, they won't let the details stand in the way
The sale begins when the customer says... Yes
