Selling Skills for Professionals: Part 2 Making the Sale   Course Description   Copyright Ross Maynard 2021   Course Description Welcome to Selling Skills for Professionals: Part 2 Making the Sale.   In Part 1 of Selling Skills for Professionals I covered prospecting, that is identifying potential future clients and making the initial approach. In this course, Part 2 of Selling Skills for Professionals, I cover the sales process – converting a prospect into a client. In Selling Skills for Professionals: Part 2 Making the Sale, I look at the skills you need for selling professional services and how to create a series of webinars to build prospects’ interest. I then cover a five-step sales process in detail: 1. Understand the current situation 2. Surface the pain points  3. Exploring the impacts of the pain points 4. Shape the future state  5. Close the sale   The course also covers why people buy professional services, and why they might not buy; and it shows how to deal with objections.   Selling professional services is not like selling a car, or solar panels. It’s about building a relationship with a prospect as a professional advisor; coaching them through the challenges facing them; and offering services tailored to their needs which will help the prospect make tangible improvements.   If you want to know how to sell professional services successfully, this is the course for you.   I hope you enjoy the course.     Key Learning Points  On completion of the course, delegates will be able to: * Describe a five-stage sales process for professional services * Identify the core skillset needed for selling professional services * Deploy best practice when creating webinars to engage prospects * Explore a prospect’s current situation on an online video call * Identify a prospect’s pain points and explore their root causes and impacts * Coach a prospect to visualise the future state they would like to get to be resolving the problems identified * Handle objections surfaced as the prospect moves towards closing the sale * Understand why people buy professional services, and why they don’t buy * Reduce buyer’s remorse and plan to develop the client relationship after the sale     Curriculum Module 1: The Foundations for Selling Professional Services Lesson 1: The Purpose of Prospecting Lesson 2: The Selling Professional Services Skillset Lesson 3: Moving Beyond Prospecting Lesson 4: Script for the Webinar Follow-Up Call   Module 2: Building a Case for the Sale Lesson 5: No Pain No Gain Lesson 6: Building a Case: Initial Diagnosis Lesson 7: Building a Case: Root Causes Lesson 8: Building a Case: Impacts Lesson 9: Building a Case: Shaping the Future State Lesson 10: Building a Case: The Gap   Module 3: Closing the Sale Lesson 11: Selling is about Change Lesson 12: A Time to Close  Lesson 13: Closing (At Last)   Module 4: Evasion and Objections Lesson 14: Evasion Lesson 15: Handling Objections Lesson 16: Specific Example of Objections Part 1 Lesson 17: Specific Example of Objections Part 2   Module 5: After the Sale Lesson 18: Aftercare Lesson 19: Key Learning Points     Pre-Course Requirements There are no pre-course requirements     Additional Resources None     Course Tutor Your tutor is Ross Maynard.

Selling Skills for Professionals: Part 1 Prospecting   Course Description   Copyright Ross Maynard 2021   Course Description Welcome to Selling Skills for Professionals: Part 1 Prospecting. If you are an accountant, a lawyer, a consulting engineer, a surveyor, an actuary, a management consultant, an events organiser, an HR professional or any other form of professional businessperson, and you need to identify and develop new clients, then this course is for you This is part 1 of a two-part course on selling skills for professionals. In Part 1 I cover prospecting, that is identifying potential future clients and making the initial approach. In Part 2 of Selling Skills for Professionals I cover the sales process once you have a make contact with a potential client. Selling Skills for Professionals covers high involvement purchases where the commitment is a significant one for the purchaser. This covers relatively expensive business investments, but also purchase agreements which the purchaser feels will have a significant impact on their business – for example engaging an accountant or a lawyer, or a management consultant, and so on. With a high involvement purchase, the client typically will consider a range of alternatives; will review a variety of information sources; and will evaluate product and service attributes in detail. This means that there is a relatively high barrier to surmount to get the potential client’s attention. A solid approach to prospecting and a well-structured sales process can increase that conversion rate and enhance your success in securing clients who will remain with you for the long term. That is the purpose of this course.   I hope you enjoy the course.     Key Learning Points  On completion of the course, delegates will be able to: * Describe the scope and purpose of sales prospecting for professional services * Understand the five rules of selling professional services * Develop a branding statement for themselves and their organisation * Define the criteria for the clients they wish to target * Appreciate the importance of client pain points and how to identify them * Prepare materials for prospecting * Create a cold calling script for prospecting * Write a cold email or LinkedIn message to prospects including a strong subject line * Understand the sorts of questions they can use to stimulate client engagement in a discussion * Move prospects onto the next stage of the selling process     Curriculum Module 1: First Principles in Selling Professional Services Lesson 1: The Five Rules of Selling Professional Services Lesson 2: The Five Rules of Selling Professional Services Lesson 3: Branding   Module 2: Getting Ready to Prospect Lesson 4: Identifying Prospects Lesson 5: Client Pain Points and the Purpose of Prospecting Lesson 6: Preparing to Prospect   Module 3: Making the Approach Lesson 7: Seven Seconds to make an Impact Lesson 8: Crafting the Message: Cold Calling Lesson 9: Crafting the Message: Cold Email Lesson 10: Sample Scripts for Cold Email  Lesson 11: Trigger Questions Lesson 12: Getting Ready to Sell: The Next Stage  Lesson 13: Key Learning Points in Prospecting     Pre-Course Requirements There are no pre-course requirements     Additional Resources None     Course Tutor Your tutor is Ross Maynard.
