Course description
The Versatile Salesperson
Even the most unique, innovative products and services have limited appeal on their own. Sales success is as much about the “how” of sales as it is about the “what” of sales. Simply put, today’s no-nonsense environment takes an agile salesperson with exceptional interpersonal versatility. People buy from people with whom they are comfortable.
The Versatile Salesperson gives salespeople a simple method for quickly building rapport with customers and prospects of all levels. The Versatile Salesperson (VSP) is built around the four-quadrant Social Styles matrix. Participants are profiled for their perceived Social Style and interpersonal versatility level, and then learn how to identify others’ Social Styles and temporarily adjust their own style to communicate more easily and effectively build trust with customers.
