Making Winning Sales Presentations
Synopsis
Despite all the new technology and social networking capabilities, making sales presentations still remains as the NUMBER ONE method in which customers choose their partners or suppliers. This is especially true when the amount involved is significant.
The brutal reality is that many organisations lose potential business despite having a more superior product/service because their representatives fail to bring out the relevant and salient points during the presentation. In addition, their representatives are not able to articulate the answers to the questions asked.
Sales presentations are one of the most difficult to make because there is every probability that we do not know what the prospect REALLY wants. And, how many times have we been invited for a sales presentation when the customer has already decided BEFORE the presentation who to choose? We are just there to help them to adhere to their process of having at least three to five parties to make the presentation. What should we do in this case?
Too many professionals make sales presentations thinking that being able to present well is good enough. Superficially, this appears to be enough but the truth is there is much more than meets the eye.
This two-day session is BEYOND THE TYPICAL PRESENTATION SKILLS COURSE. It is based on the trainer’s more than thirty years’ experience of successful selling and making presentations to customers in different cultures, industries and situations. Participants can expect to get major breakthroughs in their presentations ensuring there is improvement in the strike rate.
