Consultative Selling Course
Course Aim
Our Consultative Selling Training Programmes will provide you with the skills and techniques so you can unearth the needs and wants of your buyers so you can effectively work out a strategy on how to offer your products and services to them in the right way.
You need to give your prospects and clients a good listening to. Long gone are the days when you would turn up and just pitch your solutions and products to them.
Instead, you need to be able to understand their requirements and build up a picture so that you know how your products and services can help them. You can only achieve this through consultative selling.
We can run this as a 1-day, or a 2-day consultative sales course based on your requirements and level of customisation. Either way, you’ll understand the strategies behind successful consultative selling.
