Success in selling high value products and services to large companies depends on ‘know how’ and the willingness to press on, to dig deeper, to do more than you think is strictly necessary. Sales skills alone are not enough. Competition for large sales opportunities is almost always ferocious. Winning means finding a way to out sell your competition. You can’t always be first in. “The only sustainable source of competitive advantage is getting better faster than your competitors” says Tom Peters. Losing a big deal is more than just disappointing. The time and effort invested in the race cannot be recovered. Learn how to be as certain as it is possible to be. Get the odds on your side and win more large sales, faster, with this advanced course for established sales people and their support team. Benefits include improved team cooperation, forecast accuracy, greater situational control, shorter sales cycles, better success ratio’s, and dramatically increased sales results. Winning Edge is an ‘in-house’ only programme because participants work on live sales campaigns during the course. Applying the method to real sales situations demonstrates how it works and provides relevant experience working with the tools. The time spent in training advances specific sales and directly increases the odds of success. Who Should Attend Designed for experienced sales people and their support team, the course assumes that sales participants are already competent in communication and persuasion skills. At least half of the delegates should be the field sales people who are responsible for leading sales campaigns. Everyone involved in high value sales opportunities needs to become a team player. Understanding the sales process, strategy, and plan, prevents anyone inadvertently damaging chances of success. Participants should include managers, marketing people, pre sales technical support people, and anyone else who is in a position to influence the outcome of high value sales. Programme Objectives Increase forecast accuracy for revenue and resource planning. Accelerate sales campaigns to reduce sales cycle times. Frustrate competitive initiatives and reduce competitor effectiveness. Improve your ‘win/lose’ conversion ratio for better sales productivity.
