  • Are you frustrated trying to sell your services?
  • Are you tired of trying to convince people to buy your ideas?
  • Would you like to learn the secrets of successful selling in a user friendly, easy, practical learning environment?

The workshop is designed to give participants the skills necessary to feel comfortable selling their products, services and ideas. It will provide the skills necessary to plan for and make effective consultative sales calls. 

Participants learn how to prepare for the face to face interaction and how to probe, support, close and involve the client using style-matching techniques and follow-up. Focus is directed at client centered selling.
