The Accidental Salesperson
2017-08-10 09:00 - 16:00 | Mantra Bell City, 215 Bell St, Preston, Vic, 3072, Australia
SELLING WITHOUT ‘SELLING’
The prospect of ‘selling’ themselves is an unfamiliar area which many practitioners can perceive as daunting. It doesn’t need to be. DST people will help you:

Develop skills around having ‘beneficial conversations’.
Communicate benefits to clients without ‘selling’, in a natural and humanistic manner.
Understand what needs to be presented to clients for a successful outcome.
Present with credibility.

YOUR TRAINING OPPORTUNITY
Australian Camps Association along with DST people are offering a once off opportunity to build your skills as an accidental salesperson.
DST people’s sales specialist Gordon Smith regularly finds himself working with ‘Accidental Sales People’ who have ended up selling more by default than by choice.
In this full day session, you will be provided with the practical skills, procedures and confidence required for consistent sales success. You will examine ways to maximise your chances of securing an increased share of your clients’ ‘discretionary spend’.
WHAT WE’LL EXPLORE…

How to be really smart with your sales activities
How to start and control sales conversations
The key points for strong relationships
How to help people identify real needs (rather than just what they ‘want’)
How to ask really good questions and listen effectively to the responses
How to explain how you stand out from the pack
A simple process to follow for consistent sales success

All of which you can do… without looking like you are selling!
YOU WILL GREATLY INCREASE YOUR SALES SUCCESS BY LEARNING & APPLYING:

The 7 simple steps to ‘beneficial’ conversations
The ‘6 magic words’ to ensure you are always talking the client’s language
5 effective ways to approach a prospect when they say “No!” to you
The 4 ways you can differentiate yourself from the pack
The 3 key factors in any ‘value statement’
The 2 components you must manage for a good business relationship
The 1 key question to always ask when someone says, “you’re too expensive”

DST people’s “Accidental Salesperson” course is a practical and interactive workshop which develops skills around the fundamentals of having beneficial conversations with clients. You will walk away with methods, tools, techniques and confidence that you will be able to apply immediately.
To Book – complete the booking form and return to the ACA Office via email.
