Course Synopsis

Attendees learn to identify and meet customer expectations, thus helping to generate more orders and deliver better service. Participants discover their behavior patterns and learn to recognize customer buying behaviors. We focus on how to deal with these different types.

Participants make or receive two telephone calls relating to their products and services. Sales Concepts instructors portray their customers as defined and structured by the attendees’ managers. The telephone calls are recorded. The recorded calls support feedback given to the attendees.
