Agenda of Topics

Your Pre-Call Planning
* Three questions to ask yourself which define why people really buy from you.
* What to do before your calls to ensure you’re never rejected again.
* The ACTION Sales Model: using it to help you move prospects/customers closer to the sale on every contact.

“Sounding” for Success
* How to sound the way you want to “look” over the phone.
* What to do to avoid annoying “uhh” habits.

Pre-Buyer Conversations
* How to identify not just the buyer, but all the key people involved in influencing what you sell.
* Secrets of collecting valuable information before you reach your decision maker.
* How to get screeners on your side in helping you sell to the boss (this contradicts what many “experts” say, but it works).

* What NOT to say to screeners (and on voice mail) which is sure to categorize you as a “typical time-wasting salesperson.”

Opening Statements That Create Interest—Not Resistance
* What to never say during the first 30 seconds of the call.
* Proven formulas, templates, and word-for-word examples of prospecting, account management, follow-up, and inactive account opening statements to use as-is or modify.

“Art presents his techniques in a casual setting that allows creativity and dialogue, without putting you on the spot. His techniques for the all important opening are terrific! They gave me the ability to get to decision makers and close the sale. Take this class if you want to have your best year yet!”
Barry Renstrom, MeadWestVaco


Helping People Buy Through Questioning

* Why many of your “benefits” might be liabilities, and how to use the “Question Generator” to create questions, which will help you present only the benefits they’re interested in.
* There are such things as dumb questions in sales; what they are, and how to avoid them.

Listening: Much More Important Than Talking

* The two points where you should pause in the communications process, and the five benefits to you of doing so.

* How to ensure you’re only talking about what they’re interested in.
* The four-step process for presenting exactly what they want to hear in order to buy.
* How to minimize price and maximize value.

Asking For, and Getting Commitment (Closing)
* How to move every call forward with commitments.
* Specific commitment questions you can use and modify.
* When asking for commitment is pushy, when it’s not.

Answering Problems and Questions (Objections)
* Why objections are feared by most people—except by you after this module.
* How to do the “Objection Autopsy” so you can comfortably and confidently address every objection you hear.

* How to deal with objections in a conversational, non-adversarial way.

What Do You Say on the Next Call?
