Present
a Competitive Advantage |
Helping
Sales Management Succeed |
Client
presentations—around-the-table
or stand-up in front of a group—are part of every sales
process. This inflection point in the sales cycle is your opportunity to
validate that your solution exactly meets your client's needs;
and delivers the knock-out blow to the competition. Important? There's
little that happens that's more important than this.
Overview
Presentation
Skills Workshop provides an understanding and blueprint for success of
formal and informal presentations, enabling you to clearly, concisely,
and credibly present your solution, seek its deficiencies and end with
agreement that it completely meets the client's needs. Salespeople gain
understanding that even superior solutions with price advantages can
lose if their solution is not presented properly.
Participants
learn tactics
for managing the environment, presentation team, client attendees,
materials, and customer interaction. They anticipate and seek out areas
of weakness in their solution, and how to use those to strengthen their
solution and close the deal.
Why
you should attend?
Presentation
Skills Workshop is designed for sales, sales support,
and their management, responsible for presenting high value
solutions.
-
Are
you fearful of the presentation and do your best to avoid it?
-
Do
you know what the presentation is to accomplish, what success looks
like, and what the next step is going to be?
-
Have
you lost an opportunity when you had a superior, lower priced
solution?
-
How
do you cover everything you need to cover in the allowable
time?
-
Do
the presentation participants—influencers,
recommenders, and decision-makers—agree
on the issues, results and value of the solution they need?
-
Do
you get great feedback on your presentations (the attendees ask you
to send them an electronic copy) and you still lose the deal?
-
Do
members of the presentation team disappoint you in their content,
materials, attitude, or the way they handle client questions?
-
Do
you know when and how to discuss price so that your margins are not
eroded and you don't lose credibility with the client?
-
"It's
easy to make a buck. It's a lot tougher to make a difference."
