Consultative Sales Training

Overview

In consultative selling, the aim is to become a valued partner. When interacting with a client, you spend most of your time listening. You ask questions to understand their needs and business problems. And you structure your responses around how your products and services can meet their needs and solve their problems.

On this course, participants will learn practical strategies and techniques for building trust and understanding, and asking the right questions to uncover the client’s needs. By adopting The Six Why’s Model, you will learn how to connect better with clients, overcome objections, and close the sale confidently and effectively.
