WE WORK HARD TO BE MORE PRODUCTIVE AND AVOID WASTING TIME. THEREFORE, THE MEETINGS WE HAVE SHOULD BE IMPORTANT. In order to make the best use of our time, we need to be efficient. Our main goal is to increase productivity and avoid wasting time. Therefore, it is important that the meetings we have are meaningful and necessary. Unlike the story of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf,” we want our meeting attendees to understand the value of our work. We show them by setting a good example. Over time, they realize that our meetings are held for important reasons. When attendees know that our meetings are productive, respectful (in terms of length and content relevance), and serve a purpose, they are happy to attend and contribute their best. This class will help participants organize their ideas and communicate clearly. As facilitators, you will learn to be concise and communicate with confidence.

Sales and trade exist because people need and are looking for that which is better than what they have. Sometimes, they don’t even know that they have a need. The critical piece of this process is “connecting the dots.” We must demonstrate that we have listened respectfully, and, as experts, show how the needs are tied directly to our answer. Just because they have a need and we have a solution doesn’t mean that it’s a guaranteed sale. Connecting their needs to our solution is precisely what the Sales Presentation Skills class is all about. Outcomes – Participants will be able to: Research and understand each unique customer to demonstrate expertise; Conduct productive meetings to discover useful information to formulate the most effective solution(s); Propose plans that are fully aligned with the target’s situation and needs; Increase abilities to engage and motivate the prospect/client through compelling presentations; Convey emotional intelligence enthusiasm and sincerity to get client buy-in; Strengthen professionalism through dynamic story-telling, elevating the level of rapport; and Create positive messages even from negative, modeling a problem-solving, can-do attitude for the audience.   Online Format—Sales Presentation Skills is a 4-hour interactive virtual class. Register for this class and you will be sent ONLINE login instructions prior to the class date.
