Event Details
A key driver to competitive advantage as an entrepreneur is sales effectiveness, ideally through both your personal and organizational capabilities. The related talents may seem, at first glance, more art than science with success determined by intangibles. But paradoxically, evidence on the selling process has shown that systematic management of customer-related intangibles involving factors such as politics, unexpected value, and strategy can be both possible and profitable.
Join us to hear an expert sales consultant who has thoroughly analyzed one of the most comprehensive sales surveys ever conducted to mine the record of more than 50,000 deal reviews for lessons on winning business and building the closest customer relationships. His expertise in linking productive sales training with learning management systems has helped span the gap between a gifted individual performer and a dynamically functional team. As a member of our April audience at our interactive forum, you will ideally come away with new ideas on important issues like:
- Mapping a customer's organization for patterns of influence
- Increasing transaction sizes and renewal rates while accelerating the sales cycle
- Effectively using social media tools in a sales campaign
- Increasing customer satisfaction and your competitive differentiation
