Inside Sales

We all know that you cannot sell to someone you cannot get in to see.
Many sales trainers and managers give the glib advice of "just pick up the phone."
Well, for many salespeople, that advice just doesn't cut it.
Sales Call Reluctance is an emotional hesitation to initiate contact with potential buyers. It is fear, which is a mental response to a perceived threat. The good news is that it is a learned habit. You can unlearn it. Our habits are written in our bodies. Trying to overcome Call Reluctance mentally does not work in the long run. To become confident lead generators who are unstoppable, you need to involve your whole being, which includes your body posture, your emotions, and your language. When you are prospecting, your emotions are controlling the show.

You will learn:

1.The four different body postures that will positively influence your lead generation.
2.The emotions and feelings that stop most salespeople from being their best and what to do about them. You will learn how to navigate through the emotions of prospecting.
3.The internal language that can shift your focus and attention while prospecting and also on your sales calls.

Top performing salespeople understand that the ability to negotiate is key to maximizing profit for their organizations. In this webinar we will cover how to effectively plan for and execute on strategic negotiations in high stakes deals.

Description: Part #9 in the series Your Growth Ecosystem: Don’t Think Small About Your Big Accounts. For CEOs, Presidents, Founders/Owners, Business Development Heads, Sales VPs, and Key Account Managers of companies of any size, with special relevance to those with $10 million to $500 million in annual revenue. The series is a strategic, high-level approach to managing your organization to successfully sell and grow sales to multinational and global corporations.
When you have sold a deal into a big corporation, you will often have a delivery team inside that account, led by a project manager, at the same time that another sales rep or account manager from your company is working to land new business. The new business opportunity may be in another facility—in another region, a different subsidiary, even another country. Far too often, there is no contact between the team inside and the team selling new business. That’s a huge lack of foresight and opportunity, both to serve your client better and to improve your chances of success. This webinar is about how to manage your inside team(s) to produce steady new revenue from your large account.

You will learn:

1. What assumptions you should make about your global clients.
2. How management training and sales training needs to address these issues.
3. What opportunities you should be looking for.
4. How to use this circumstance to become a trusted advisor.
5. How to align your sales strategy with your customer’s strategic objectives.

Getting promoted to a supervisory role is exciting . . . and scary. A promotion to leadership, supervision or management brings new responsibilities, new relationship dynamics, and new opportunities for personal and career growth. And often, new leaders don’t get the training, support, and guidance they need to be successful.

Did you know that 40% of new managers fail within the first 18 months of promoting them? Why? They got promoted because they were good at their job—not because they can actually lead people. They’ve never led people, dealt with challenging time management issues, administered company policy or had to deal with upper management directly before. In other words, they’re completely unprepared.

The good news is first-time managers and supervisors can learn the kinds of things it usually takes managers years to learn. Whether you are in learning and training or HR wanting to help others in this important and challenging position or are that new leader yourself, this interactive and informative webinar will help you be more effective and successful.

You will learn:

1. The most common mistakes new leaders make (and some solutions)
2.The four perspectives that must change for a new supervisor to be successful
3.How to manage relationships and expectations during the transition – up, down and across the organization

Here’s a statistic that will boggle your mind: Humans consume 74 gigabytes, the equivalent of 175 newspapers of content, per day. Customers are assaulted with facts, pseudo facts, white papers, media and statistics all posing as relevant information. Much of the well sourced information is contradictory. Sorting the “need to knows” from the “nice to knows” can be exhausting. Add to this a new average of
ten stake holders and more and more customers are defaulting to the status quo or a no deal. What’s the solution? New research, just released by Gartner, reveals that sellers who help make sense of information, who can simplify and tune into the feelings of their customers rather than piling on more data, significantly outperform
their peers. How must sellers adapt to this new reality? What are the three most important behaviors to this new reality of sense making?

In this webinar you will learn to:

1. Leverage video to reach additional stakeholders and improve customer experience.
2. Create buyer focused presentations that drive your unique value.
3. Ask questions that line up with how the brain processes information.
4. Guide buyers to a buying decision through stories, metaphors and anecdotes.

Understanding how to position your company for sales success is critical. In this program, you will understand how to improve sales and marketing alignment with a clearly defined market position and value prop. You will know how positioning yourself with the right buying influences is key to sales acceleration.

Whether you're looking to get started in sales, or are already established and want to plan the next steps of your sales career path this, is for you!

Description: Part #8 in the series Your Growth Ecosystem: Don’t Think Small About Your Big Accounts. For CEOs, Presidents, Founders/Owners, Business Development Heads, Sales VPs, and Key Account Managers of companies of any size, with special relevance to those with $10 million to $500 million in annual revenue. The series is a strategic, high-level approach to managing your organization to successfully sell and grow sales to multinational and global corporations.
Volumes have been written about how to match your sales process to “the buyers’ journey.” Frankly I think most people involved in selecting and influencing big, complex buying decisions in large corporations don’t have any real clue how to do it. Procurement people have a set of procedures and rules, but they still have to satisfy the end users, who may have very different ideas about what criteria are most important. And the relative power of procurement and executive users varies greatly. Smart sellers know how to lead the buyers to the right decision, and how to do that is the subject of this webinar.

You will learn:

1. How to locate and connect with the appropriate buyers and influencers.
2. How to plan with an internal team.
3. How to plan for the initial meeting..
4. How to prepare great questions.
5. What to do when the process stalls.

As AI becomes all-pervasive, more and more companies need to start thinking about how AI can help in their business transformation and optimization journey. According to a Gartner survey, 54% respondents plan to start deployment within the next few years. However, their are multiple barriers, including finding a starting point and fear of the unknown.

This webinar breaks down AI for the business & IT - what use cases should CIOs and business organizations focus on and how do we get started? What are the possible use cases? How do we even go about thinking about AI in our organization in a structured way?

It is fourth quarter what is your plan? Believe it or not, the fourth quarter is the most important business sales quarter of the year. What you do in fourth quarter not only determines your numbers for the year, it has a major impact on your future success as well.
