<p>'Selling' doesn't work. You've got to help customers buy. And that means engaging with the customer in a positive way, showing that you understand their requirement and giving them confidence that your product or service is the best possible way of meeting that requirement.</p>
<p>This may sound painless but there's more to it than meets the eye and it's all too easy to get it wrong. You need to follow a process.</p><p>This programme will help participants:</p>
<ul>
<li>Understand 'how buyers buy' and align their selling activities accordingly</li>
<li>Recognise the difference between 'latent pain' and 'active vision' opportunities</li>
<li>Conduct effective pre-call planning and research</li>
<li>Stimulate interest and establish credibility with your prospects</li>
<li>Get prospects to share / admit high priority pain</li>
<li>Engage in consultative dialogue that promotes the differentiating strengths of your offerings</li>
<li>Gain access to 'power' people within an opportunity</li>
<li>Effectively qualify and disqualify opportunities based on objective decision criteria</li>
<li>Better control and manage sell cycles</li>
<li>Improve their chances of winning competitive opportunities</li>
<li>Shorten sales cycles and avoid 'no decision'</li>
<li>Negotiate the steps leading to a successful sale</li>

Management Development Programme (MDP)

<h2>Public Service Manager Programme: In-House</h2><p>Volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity - the classic VUCA environment - are the order of the day. If this is the new normal, you need all the help you can get.</p><p>And that's why we developed this programme. Inspired by a tried-and-tested programme we already deliver for private sector organisations, this programme has been designed by our two lead specialists in public service management - Amanda Dudman and David Elverson. Amanda focuses on the management side of the equation, helping even the most experienced managers find new ways of working more effectively, while David focuses on supporting the commercial agenda.</p><p>Aimed at public service managers and leaders who line manage others, this ILM-recognised programme takes a modular approach and gives participants plenty of tools and strategies for dealing with current challenges in the workplace through expert trainer input and skills practice.</p><p>In addition, there is the opportunity to learn from peers, share experiences, address how to deal with the more challenging issues, and prepare action plans to implement with confidence back at work.</p><p>Tough times continue for public services as internal and external drivers in a fast-moving landscape put ever more pressure on managers, the 'squeezed middle'. Demands on resources and time mean that managers need practical and workable everyday solutions and approaches that support them in their busy, stretching daily work.</p><section>

Delivered by Rich Cartwright BEng DipEd MCIPHE
NEW RADIATORS
We use EN442 standard to enable you to customise the defined MWT (°c) and the results will highlight if the radiator will heat the room for a given internal design temperature. We like to promote the need to design low temperature systems!
Add multiple designers to your account
You can now add extra dashboard users to complete heat loss and heating design reports on your Heat Engineer Software account.
DHW (DOMESTIC HOT WATER)
This will calculate the projected energy demand and running costs for DHW and domestic cylinder sizing.
EMITTERS AND PERFORMANCE
This page is primarily used for heat pump designs. Once you specify the flow temperature for each room the SCOP (Seasonal Coefficient of Performance) values will be shown, and the system will show if radiators are over or undersized.
CURRENT RADIATORS
Use the app on site to enter the current radiators and our system will display the output values for different flow temperatures.
FUEL COMPARISON
Multiple fuels to compare against, you can adjust the price per unit and CO2 factor (kg/kWh). Present these running costs to your clients.
PHOTOS AND NOTES
Photos and notes which you or your surveyors have taken will be shown when you open the report from your dashboard. You may also upload and download photos from your PC / laptop too.
