Fathom’s Consultative Selling Skills Training Delivers Proven Results!

What’s the #1 complaint that customers voice about sales people? It’s that sales representatives simply don’t take enough time to listen and truly understand client needs and attempt to sell prematurely. Consultative selling means: To first uncover and fully understand the goals, problems and needs of the customer, then, and only then, to offer options and recommend relevant solutions.

This intensive, hands-on, exercise driven sales training program gives salespeople an understanding of the psychological steps that buyers go through in the purchase process. Using interactive role-plays, participants are walked through a step-by-step consultative sales process to more effectively meet a prospects needs. They learn to ask better questions and gather more useful information before trying to sell prematurely. Participants in this sales workshop learn how to concentrate their focus on each client’s particular situation, challenges, and vision to ultimately partner with them and build revenues. This selling skills workshop enables participants to determine how their company and product/service can provide meaningful value to a client — even in a highly competitive, saturated and commoditized market.

The role-plays, in conjunction with the feed back sessions, assure that each classroom participant has achieved direct behavioral changes in their sales approach.

OBJECTIVES

Participants will learn to:

  • Assess their current selling skills demonstrated in a sales benchmark

  • Determine the individual behavioral style of customers and how to best interact

  • Utilize interviewing skills to listen instead of pitching products

Tania and I are excited about the new tools we are bringing to the Sales office. I feel we can make a big difference/impact with the INSITE approach and how to methodically build the sales experience and not just go for the jugular. We think we found a way to reach out to more diverse clients since we are not specifically a niche recruiting firm.  View Full Letter (PDF)
