<p>This highly practical one-day workshop has been designed specifically to help maximise sales where customers make contact by telephone.</p><p>When customers contact us direct they have clearly already considered the possibility that they might buy from us, but we're still only half-way to making a sale. Unless we fully understand their needs and make it easy for them to buy, we may not secure the business.</p><p>This workshop concentrates on the telephone skills and techniques needed to achieve the most positive outcome in any inbound customer call. A combination of excellent customer service skills and savvy sales awareness techniques will increase our chances of a successful outcome for both parties.</p><p>The programme features the unique INBOUND model, to help remember the key principles for effective inbound telephone sales:</p><p><b>I</b>nitial impressions</p><p><b>N</b>eeds of the customer</p><p><b>B</b>ring them with you</p><p><b>O</b>pen up the conversation</p><p><b>U</b>nderstand the triggers</p><p><b>N</b>arrow down the solutions</p><p><b>D</b>ecision time!</p><p>The programme also covers how to deal with difficult calls and challenging people - after all, every complaint is a sales opportunity!</p>This programme will help participants:<ul><li>Create the perfect interaction with any customer making contact by telephone</li><li>Make every call count</li><li>Build rapport quickly in any situation</li><li>Handle difficult calls and challenging people</li><li>Create sustainable and profitable relationships</li><li>Increase your sales conversions</li></ul><section>
                    <h3>1 The inbound sales process</h3><ul><li>Each customer who contacts us will be at a different stage of the sales process. Some might be making general enquiries whilst others will be ready to commit, having made most of their decisions already. Sales and customer service people need to be ready to find out the stage the customer has reached before helping them to make the right decision for them</li></ul> <h3>2 Engaging with the customer</h3><ul><li>Having clarified where the customer is on their journey to making a purchasing decision, our next responsibility is to create and build a trusting relationship on both sides. This involves establishing rapport quickly to ease the communication process, thus enabling smooth transactions, both now and in the future</li></ul> <h3>3 Questioning and listening skills for gathering information</h3><ul><li>Developing these skills requires practice so that the communication becomes natural for the customer. This helps the customer to feel comfortable with us and work with us towards an effective solution. We discuss different types of question and how to use high-gain questions to uncover key information. Active listening will ensure that we can really help customers get what they need</li></ul> <h3>4 Overcoming objections and excuses</h3><ul><li>If we have followed the process properly and really understood the customer, then there should no further objections or barriers to completing the transaction. The reality is that there will still be the occasional issue that needs clarifying, so we need to prepare for possible objections and questions that customers might have. This includes probing objections so that we fully understand the customer's perspective before constructing suitable responses or solutions</li></ul> <h3>5 Gaining commitment and ending the call</h3><ul><li>Customers want to gain a solution to the issue they are facing and the sooner we can help them achieve that the better. Guiding the customer and helping them to believe in their own decision is part of our role. This section is dedicated to getting commitment all the way along the process, not just at the close</li></ul> <h3>6 Dealing with difficult and challenging situations</h3><ul><li>The realisation that everybody is different, with different personality types, different ways of looking at the world and different goals, is key to understanding sales. With this is mind we discuss these differences and how we adapt our approach to ease communication and maintain trust and understanding</li></ul> <h3>7 Action plans</h3><ul><li>Course summary and presentation of action plans</li></ul>

<p>It is essential that those charged with responsibility for credit control and debt recovery have a full appreciation of the relevant law: no-one can negotiate effectively to recover a debt if they don't understand the ultimate sanctions they can apply. This programme is designed to give them a practical, up-to-date understanding of the law as it applies to your particular organisation.</p>This course will help ensure that participants:<ul><li>Understand the relevant laws</li><li>Know how and when to invoke legal processes</li><li>Avoid legal pitfalls in debt collection negotiations</li></ul><p>Specific, practical learning points include:</p><ul><li>Definition of 'harassment'</li><li>How to set up an in-house collection identity</li><li>Whether cheques in 'full and final settlement' are binding</li><li>The best steps to trace a 'gone away'... and many, many more.</li></ul><section>
                    <h3>1 Data protection and debt recovery</h3>There are a whole range of things which can be checked on members of the public and which are not affected by the restraints of the Data Protection Act. These will be explained in simple, clear terms so that staff can use this information immediately. <h3>2 County Court suing</h3>The expert trainer will show how to sue for money owed, obtain judgment and commence enforcement action without leaving your desk. This module is aimed at showing how to make the Courts work for you instead of the other way around! <h3>3 Enforcement of judgments</h3>There are many people who have a County Court Judgment (CCJ) against their debtor but who still remain unpaid. This session explains each of the enforcement methods and how to use them to best effect. Enforcement methods covered include:<ul><li>Warrant of Execution</li><li>Using the sheriff (now known as High Court Enforcement Officers)</li><li>Attachment of earnings</li><li>Third Party Debt Orders</li><li>Charging Orders (over property and goods)</li><li>Winding-up companies and making individuals bankrupt</li></ul> <h3>4 Office of Fair Trading rules on debt recovery</h3>Surprisingly few people are aware of the Office of Fair Trading rules on debt recovery and many of those that do know think they don't apply to them - but they do. Make sure you know what you need to! <h3>5 New methods to trace elusive, absentee and 'gone away' debtors</h3>Why write the money off when you can trace the debtor and collect the money you are owed? <h3>6 Credit checking of new and existing customers</h3>It makes sense to credit check would-be, new and existing customers to evaluate the likelihood of payment delays or perhaps not being paid at all. This session shows a range of credit checking steps, many of which can be done completely free of charge, including a sample credit application<br />/ account opening form. <h3>7 Late Payment of Commercial Debts Regulations</h3>Do your staff understand this legislation and how to use it to make people pay quicker than ever before? The trainer shows how. <h3>8 The Enterprise Act</h3>The Enterprise Act made some startling changes to corporate and personal insolvency. What are the implications for credit control and debt recovery within your organisation?

<p>In today's fast-moving competitive environment, sales are often made or lost on the strength of a telephone conversation or a brief email. This means that not only is customer service everyone's responsibility - so is sales. Customer service staff are failing the customer if they don't think about sales. And sales staff are failing customers if they don't think about service. And anyone failing a customer is failing both themselves and their employer.</p><p>Too often, customer service staff feel neither capable nor empowered to recognise or capitalise upon a sales opportunity.

At the literary end this would be books like <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Life After Life</em> by Kate Atkinson, <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Shining Girls</em> by Lauren Beukes or <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">This is How You Lose the Time War</em> by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone.

She also enjoys novels set in the real world but featuring a hefty dose of magic or the supernatural. They can be commercial or literary, present-day or historical. Think <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Rivers of London</em> by Ben Aaronovitch, <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Threadneedle</em> by Cari Thomas, <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">A Discovery of Witches</em> by Deborah Harkness or <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Gifts</em> by Liz Hyder.

LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION
Louise Buckley  has worked in publishing for well over a decade. She was inspired to enter the publishing industry after completing an MA in Creative Writing and then spent a hugely enjoyable year working as a bookseller for Waterstones, wishing that she could have a hand in publishing books.
After a year working at Dorling Kindersley, she then spent almost five years working in the commercial fiction division at Pan Macmillan, where she published a mix of commercial bestsellers and award-winning authors.
Most recently, she was an Associate Literary Agent at Zeno Agency Ltd. As an agent she represented a roster of commercial and literary fiction, including Anne Griffin’s When All is Said, which spent five weeks at number one in Ireland and sold into 17 territories.
She is delighted to be working with Hannah at Hannah Sheppard Literary Agency.
Louise is looking for:-
Literary and upmarket fiction that focusses on the underdog, the repressed, the suppressed. Louise is especially interested in novels that represent working-class people or children going through difficult circumstances (think Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart, My Name is Leon by Kit de Waal or Boys Don’t Cry by FÍona Scarlett).
Irish literary and book club fiction. Think Claire Keegan, Louise Kennedy or Anne Griffin.
In commercial fiction she loves novels set during the Second World War, such as The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, The Beekeeper of Aleppo by Christi Lefteri or The Midwife of Auschwitz by Anna Stuart. Louise recently read and loved The Last List of Mabel Beaumont by Laura Pearson and would love to see anything in the same ‘older person going on a journey’ category, a more recent The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry.
Louise had a lot of fun publishing a ‘pet fiction’ novel as an editor (Molly and the Cat Café) and would love to find an author who can write an Alfie the Doorstep Cat/Dog.
She has a soft spot for novels featuring time-travel or parallel universes, a ‘what if’ that plays around with conventions. At the literary end this would be books like Life After Life by Kate Atkinson, The Shining Girls by Lauren Beukes or This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. At the more commercial end Louise loved Wrong Place, Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister, Dark Matter by Blake Crouch and Oona Out of Order by Martina Montimore. She also enjoys novels set in the real world but featuring a hefty dose of magic or the supernatural. They can be commercial or literary, present-day or historical. Think Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch, Threadneedle by Cari Thomas, A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness or The Gifts by Liz Hyder. And also cosy fantasy in the vein of Legends and Lattes or The House in the Cerulean Sea.
Cosy or humorous crime. Recently, Louise absolutely loved Over My Dead Body by Maz Evans. When she was an editor Louise published the hit Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll and would love to represent incisive, intelligent suspense written by authors such as Jessica Knoll and Gillian Flynn, or something a little more subversive and blackly comic like My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite.
More generally, Louise would also love to see novels with a disabled protagonist or someone (like myself) who is living with an invisible disability. As an ex-primary school teacher, she also warmly welcomes submissions from teachers, especially if the submission falls into one of the other categories she has listed. Following-on from this, she enjoys reading stories that follow a ‘beating the system’ narrative.
Louise is NOT looking for:
-romance
-romantasy
-epic, traditional fantasy
-space opera
-straightforward women’s fiction
-children’s fiction of any kind
-non-fiction
Louise would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the first three chapters or 5,000 words of your manuscript in a single word document.

(In addition to the paid sessions, Louise is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers. Please email agent121@iaminprint.co.uk to apply, outlining your case for this option which is offered at the discretion of I Am In Print). 
By booking you understand you need to conduct an internet connection test with I Am In Print prior to the event. You also agree to email your material in one document to reach I Am In Print by the stated submission deadline and note that I Am In Print take no responsibility for the advice received during your agent meeting.
The submission deadline is: Friday 27 September 2024
