Key Learnings from Conceptual Selling Sales Training Classes

To succeed in sales, every interaction with customers must be treated as an opportunity to move forward or improve the relationship.

Today, effective sales training must put the customer at the centre of all sales training courses. Customers sift through more information than ever before, leading to information overload and difficulty in sales planning. When sellers plan for these valuable interactions more effectively, they not only maximise their time with customers, they also increase the likelihood of an opportunity closing and uncover more potential opportunities.

Sellers in Australia and New Zealand who take this sales training course will learn that:

• Anytime a salesperson meets with a customer, two processes take place simultaneously. While salespeople have typically been trained to focus on the selling process, from the customer's perspective, there is also a buying process that must be recognised and understood. Solving the misalignment between these two processes is an outcome of Conceptual Selling.
• There is no such thing as one-size-fits-all solutions or value propositions for customers. The only way to understand what will help you win is to ask the right questions and listen. This sales training class provides the simple, repeatable structure that should be considered essential for anyone who interacts with customers.

This is one of our most popular and most effective sales training classes available to sellers, often making top-ten lists for teams building enterprise sales strategies and for sales leadership searching for effective sales training courses.

Taking it will allow you to enhance all of your sales interactions with customers, whether you are engaging them in a scheduled, multi-attendee meeting or an impromptu, one-to-one session.

Five Characteristics of Effective Sales Training Classes for Better Sales Meetings

A sales team's ability to differentiate from competitors often hinges on their ability to provide value to their customers in every interaction.

Sales leadership at companies of all sizes constantly face the same questions. How can I build skills in my sellers that will help them conduct more impactful customer meetings? How can I implement an effective sales training programme that provides a framework for my sellers to provide value to our customers every time they interact?

Here are five seller best practises taught in this highly-effective sales training class that will ensure your sales reps have better sales meetings after they've completed the training:

1. Prepare in Advance. Take time to create a detailed plan ahead of time and conduct thorough research on your customer and attendees of the meeting, adding structure to customer meetings that are client-focused and provide value to both parties.
2. Align Buyer and Seller Objectives. You and your customers both have goals and aspirations for your partnership. Align your objectives with your buyer's needs to ensure everyone is on the same page and driving toward win-win outcomes.
3. Control and Run the Meeting. Use the iconic Conceptual Selling Green Sheet to organise your plan and develop a detailed meeting strategy that engages your customers.
4. Make the Most of Your Time. Move opportunities forward by asking the right questions and anticipating your customer's answers to ensure a productive use of time. Then build a mutually beneficial series of next steps to continue to move the deal forward.
5. Differentiate Your Solution. Conclude meetings with a clear differentiation of your solution that will move the deal and show your customer that your partnership is built on shared value.

Connecting Sales Training to Sales Technology

Tapping into effective sales training classes doesn't stop when the course is over.

To drive home the importance of these selling best practises, world-class sales organisations take steps to connect effective sales training classes with their sales technology platform.

Sales training classes must go beyond the curriculum and incorporate an aligned technology capability that allows sellers to complete pre- and post-course tasks digitally, as well as manage their pipeline and track essential activities needed to move their deals forward.

Sales leadership from top-performing organisations can get dramatically increased seller productivity by connecting the curricula of our renowned sales training classes to our award-winning sales technology platform, Scout by Miller Heiman Group, and to our digital learning sales training platforms, which provide anytime, anywhere access to our sales training courses.
