<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. Too often, sales people pursue the short-term opportunity at the expense of the bigger picture.</p><p>The good news is - it doesn't have to be this way! Sales and customer service skills can be acquired, developed and polished just like any other skill. This tried-and-tested programme shows you how to do it.</p>As a result of this course, participants will be able to:<ul><li>Take control of a customer conversation, with confidence</li><li>Refresh and polish their customer service and sales performance</li><li>Recognise and develop a sales opportunity</li><li>Engage the customer and build rapport</li><li>Identify a customer's needs</li><li>Match the customer's needs to the organisation's products or services</li><li>Handle objections confidently</li><li>Ask for the order</li></ul><p>At the end of the workshop each participant will have developed their own action plan for developing and using their skills in the workplace.</p><section>
