<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>

Maximum Performance

Coaching Skills for HR / L&D Professionals

<p>This workshop will help you create, develop and close business opportunities using a consultative approach and a value-based (not price-led) proposition.</p><p>Value-based selling means working the way your customer wants to buy, not how you want to sell. It also means:</p><p>In a transactional sale the customer knows the answer without help from a salesperson (or cannot see why they should choose you), or is prepared to stay with what they have. Customer decision criteria are price and convenience and customers resent time spent with (new) salespeople, mainly because the salesperson adds little or nothing to what the customer already has and just wastes time.</p><p>In a consultative or value-based sale, by contrast, the customer doesn't know the answer already. The salesperson must take the role of an advisor, not just a 'product promoter'. Customers demand expertise, advice and customisation during the sales process. Often customers insist on multiple meetings with salespeople and others to develop advantages that you can bring and reduce the perceived risk of changing. In this way the salesperson often adds more value than the product or service alone.</p>This very practical workshop will help you use proven strategies and tactics to build, manage and successfully close sustainable business opportunities using a consultative approach and a value-based (not price-led) proposition. This includes:<ul><li>Increased impact of your new sales conversations, presentations and proposals - leading to faster decisions and increased conversion</li><li>Greater confidence, consistency and professionalism throughout the business development process</li><li>Enhanced sales questioning skills and techniques, leading to better, faster and more accurate development of customer needs, problems, value and expectations</li><li>Improve your people, communication, influence and persuasion skills when approaching, consulting or presenting your services and solutions</li><li>How to build value at all points in the customer's buying process through your knowledge, skills and structured approach</li><li>Proven ways to gain additional business and referrals from existing customers and contacts, through direct approach and lead generation</li><li>Being better able differentiate your firm, your solutions, track-record and expertise clearly and accurately with tailored value statements for each stage and for each opportunity</li><li>Overcome and avoid price-based objections, buying criteria and negotiation</li></ul><section>

<p>Agile working is an approach that the NHS supports. It demands new ways of working and thinking. Agile means that work is now seen as an activity, not a place. People are the organisation. The way we communicate has to change. The way we manage has to change. This workshop will let you reflect on what works for you now and where you may need to adapt. You may need to trust and value your team more than ever, but when they aren't in front of you in the office, you will need to question your beliefs.</p>The workshop will help you:<ul><li>Understand what Agile Working is all about</li><li>Reflect on your management style</li><li>Recognise the new ways of managing agile workers</li><li>Choose the right communication methods</li><li>Understand culture and mindset</li><li>Identify different ways of measuring performance</li><li>Focus on innovation and not bureaucracy</li><li>Manage more effectively</li></ul><p>This workshop has been designed to support you in effectively managing an agile team.

<p><strong>Background</strong></p>
<p>Research suggests that teachers ask between 300 and 400 questions a day. Imagine that &ndash; it comes to roughly 2 questions every minute! That is a lot of questions. But there is something more important than the number of questions we ask, it is why we ask those questions, what type of questions we ask, how we ask those questions and the quality of feedback we give to pupils. When used effectively, questioning is a useful teaching and learning strategy. During this workshop we will discuss how questioning can be used effectively to assess, challenge and stretch pupils progress.</p>
