The buying arena has changed. Sales techniques that once worked are now ineffective. Selling behaviors that were long rewarded now need to change. Many salespeople are discovering that the behaviors that served them in an order-taking environment are no longer effective.   How do you change those behaviors? Can you afford to fall behind with your critical business development skills?   

 

It is becoming increasingly difficult to differentiate our businesses. Buyers are becoming adept at turning goods and services into commodities. We all risk becoming a commodity. How can you respond? One way is to positively differentiate you and your business by the way that you sell.  

 

Traditional sales training taught salespeople to bring the horse to water and make him drink.  Vista's process orientated approach applies proven techniques for making the horse thirsty

 

With Vista Sales Development, you will discover and apply:

  • Why selling isn't telling and how to make the inherent shortcomings of the prototypical "Type A" sales person work for you.

  • A process for developing the four building blocks for sales success: Knowledge, Skills, Attitudes and Habits.

  • The difference between an order taker, a sales person and a selling professional.

  • A new, effective mindset that will allow you to relax and relieve the pressure from both you and your prospects.

  • A method to remove much of the failure involved with prospecting and selling.

  • The principals of the buying and selling process and the steps to a sale.

  • How most buying decisions are made on an emotional level and how and when you can capitalize. 

  • Effective networking techniques.

  • How to stop wasting time with suspects and invest your time with prospects.

  • Effective presentation techniques.

  • The power of goal setting as a tool for personal and professional achievement.

  • How to avoid hearing your price is too high.

  • Keys to effective time management habits.

This is not a training program. It is a development process.

In traditional seminar training, information flows so fast it can be like drinking from a fire hose.  We're lucky to come away from seminars with just a few swallows of knowledge that we actually implement.  Sales Development is significantly different from sales training. In training, knowledge is transferred from one person to another. Development occurs only when knowledge is internalized, creating a behavioral change that leads to the expression of positive, results-oriented skills.

 

As the buying and selling landscape continues to change, many of the old selling habits and behaviors are now ineffective. Your livelihood depends on your sales effectiveness. Have your sales skills kept pace with the changes in the buying arena?  What are outdated sales techniques costing your business? 

 

If they don't buy you, they sure aren't going to buy whatever else it is that you're selling.
