The average salesperson’s close ratio is 20–30%. Unqualified opportunities linger in the funnel for 6 months until they are finally removed. 70% of qualified opportunities fall to the competition or no decision. Accounts that do close are the wrong type or size. The average sale is low.
With those sales metrics, there aren’t enough leads to achieve the company’s growth goal. You could attempt to increase your lead generation activities and get more marketing qualified leads. Or, you could improve the results.
Sales Methods To Get to Yes! Faster master class teaches you how to use a consultative selling process and strategies to sell services and win more, better sales – and do it faster.
A Consultative Selling Approach That Wins
1. More Wins
Losing too many sales? The sales you are winning not the right types of opportunities or accounts? Are they products instead of services? We teach you the consultative selling process steps to qualify and win more, better sales. You’ll move from respected salesperson to valued consultant.
2. Reduced Competition
Prospects often see no distinction between providers. You’ll learn how to use needs-based selling to change the way you sell to thoughtfully guide prospects to the right decision – you – and forget your competition.
3. Reduced Negotiation Pressure
When you sell transactionally, it’s a price decision. Prospects see no value. You’re like everyone else. We’ll teach you the steps to uncover financial impacts and translate them into ROI, making prospects less likely to negotiate.
4. Higher Profit Sales
Selling in the middle or at the bottom equals small sales. Our consultative selling training teaches you how to have needs and ROI-based consultative conversations at the top, using an approach that uncovers strategic, high-profit opportunities.
The Consultative Sales Approach
Most salespeople sell transactionally, moving from one opportunity to the next, submitting quotes, not even following up. Wizened salespeople sell solutions, asking needs-based questions, and matching the right solution to the need.
The most successful salespeople use a consultative selling process that inspires trust from their prospects. Prospects and clients value their recommendations and share their long- and short-term strategic direction.
The consultative sales approach guides prospects through thoughtfully considering their needs, examining them strategically, considering the ROI, and making a decision with the salesperson’s guidance. This approach is especially important with intangible services sales. Prospects need your guidance, or they’ll make a bad decision.
We believe sales is not an art. Consultative Selling is a skill that can be learned. We’ve seen the proof in sales assessment tests. Even better, we’ve trained business owners, business analysts, technical experts, and salespeople to sell effectively. You can too.
Participants learn how to shift their sales process to a consultative sales approach. We’ve seen their sales funnels increase, close ratios increase, and businesses grow. You deserve the same success.
