Solution Selling (and Sales Process) - Course Description

   

Duration:

3 days

 
  Subject Overview
 

Solution Selling is a high performance sales execution process used by most of the leading Fortune 500 corporations. Solution Selling is used by organizations that sell in highly competitive markets to complex organizations with multiple decision makers. Salespeople are taught how to recognize a customer's business pain, develop a deep understanding of a buyer's level of needs and buying cycle and how to satisfy these business needs with their solutions. A process of qualifying prospects is taught to help salespeople to focus on opportunities with the greatest business potential.

The course defines each of the nine stages of the sales cycle, which is aligned with the customer's buying cycle. This approach focuses on the verifiable outcomes for each stage, which in turn are derived from the fundamental (key) steps or activities required to progress an opportunity from prospecting to closing the deal, subsequently deploying and supporting the requisite solution
