Course Synopsis
This customized program begins with an eleven-minute video about the different Customer Buying Styles. Attendees learn to identify and meet customer expectations, helping to generate more business and deliver better service.
Customers have different expectations. If they are treated the same, opportunities to move the process forward are being missed. This easy to use method introduced in the video teaches time-proven skills for recognizing these expectations and building positive relationships.
After the video has been viewed, participants make or receive four telephone calls relating to their products and services. Sales Concepts instructors portray their customers as defined and structured by the participant’s managers. Feedback is given upon completion of each call. Improvements are noted after each call.
Participants gain a better understanding of themselves and how to work with other people in varying situations, as well as how relationships affect the perception of value.
