Course description
The Counselor Salesperson
Remaining viable in today’s highly competitive business environment requires salespeople who can respond to customers’ business needs, priorities, and interests better than the competition. Salespeople must be able to quickly discover and understand the business issues related to strategy execution. It begins with a consultative selling approach—working closely with customers to solve real business problems.
The Counselor Salesperson establishes a basic philosophy of selling with a proven and easily understood approach. This win-win approach to selling emphasizes problem-solving from the customer’s point of view. Implementing this four-step consultative selling process enables your salespeople to transition from simply conducting transactional sales to solving real problems that add value to the client’s business.
