Customer Centered Selling Skills - 1 to 2 Days

As the name implies the customer centered sales approach focuses on the customer’s needs – keeping the customer “front and center” in the selling process. Participants learn how to move the buyer’s awareness of his/her needs from vague and obscure to clear and specific so that buyer’s are motivated to actively shop around for a solution that meets their needs. This dynamic workshop develops seller behaviors for each stage of the buyer’s purchasing process. Participants will learn how to:

  • Effectively open a call to “get into” an account you have been targeting
  • Develop strong and enduring customer relationships
  • Fact-find about the individual, company, product or service, and the decision making process
  • Effectively probe for customer needs, ensuring that questioning is conversational rather than “staccato”
  • Grow the need in the customers mind so that they move from unaware to at least considering some form of action
  • Develop and reframe/influence the customer’s needs so that the solution looks like your product
  • Effectively propose your solution so that the customer perceives that it meets their specific needs
  • Close, ask for the business, and build additional business based on the initial sale
  • Effectively manage your sales funnel and follow-up on the skills gained
