Handling Objection

“I hate selling!”
“I can do business development, marketing or even presentations, but don’t ask me to do any selling!”
“I don’t like handling any objections from customers.”

Sound familiar? Most of us get stumped, shy away from the moving forward or fall into the trap over-explaining of ourselves, when faced with objections from our customers during the sales process. Not being able to provide an apt response to objections, will definitely affect our credibility and result in the customer losing confidence in us.

Our explaining ourselves can actually be more counter-productive to the deal, the brand and the essence of what you are trying to achieve. Can you just imagine the dilemma you are in? Objections are tests, tests of sincerity, commitment and confidence. Just like fire to gold, which comes out purer, more perfect and glamorous than ever before.

Objections are truly from heaven! They allow you to differentiate yourself from your competitors, opening up the opportunity to close the sale quickly and influence the customer’s commitment of on-going loyalty to you. You will learn and master the art of handling objections, leveraging on the exclusive influential principles of The Sales Psychologist and stop using “trial & error methods” in trying to understand, convince and win over your customer.

The journey taken in this particular workshop will bring you through key milestones of bullet-proof principles to enjoying quicker results, more profitable sales, stronger customer relationship and maximum confidence in your everyday endeavors.

Hiring Sales Superstars

Hiring the right Salesperson is perhaps one of the most critical tasks that any sales leader, recruiter or business owner has to manage.

Selling with Passion & Power

What is the one thing that can make all the difference in selling? You have an excellent product, a responsive territory and a great marketing campaign, but, without this key ingredient, you are unlikely to make the sale. The missing ingredient is passion.

Selling is all about passion, believing 150% in what you’re offering, and demonstrating that in every way and at every occasion. When you fail to whole-heartedly believe in what you’re selling, there’s no way you’ll be successful long-term. Add to the mix the uncertainty of the economy and it becomes essential for people to be passionate.

You will learn how to bring creativity, enthusiasm and passion to the job of selling. Selling with Passion & Power will motivate your sales people – and more importantly, it will give your salespeople a solid foundation to succeed.

The DNA of a Sales Superstar

Knowing yourself is the first and most important thing that every Salesperson must undergo in order to discover their inner self, their natural disposition and their innate potential. When a Salesperson knows who they are – their core value system and behavioral tendencies, and clearly understands what they want – their key motivational drives, then they have a much better chance of discovering how to reach their own success, happiness and personal fulfilment.

This not only fills us with much happiness, bliss and calmness but also improves our mindset, our focus, as well as our relationships and ability to connect with others; helping us sell better, faster and more profitable.

All successful organizations need everyone to be “selling” and be a core part of the selling process. It doesn’t matter whether the individual is part of customer support, operations, finance or otherwise. Everyone in any successful organizations need to learn to sell. Be it products, service, support or brand mind share.

Who should attend ?

Sales Professionals, Sales Leaders, Sales Agents, Business Development Professionals, Entrepreneurs, Business Owners and anyone who needs to sell directly or indirectly to get achieve bottom-line results.

Human excellence starts with PowerUp.
