'Sell the sizzle not the steak'
Anon
This material has been used not only for new sales
people, but also for groups of more experienced people who want
to refresh and renew some of the basic skills that they may have
started to take for granted.
In addition we have also used this material with
non-sales people who need to sell ideas or services within their
own and affiliated organisations.
This is the first of three modules developed for
sales people working in an international fast moving consumer goods
company. The purpose was to help sales people develop basic sales
skills.
Our client recognised the importance of having a
sales force that is well versed in the first principles of selling,
which can so easily be forgotten. Since then it has been modified
for use in many other situations. Whatever product or service you
are trying to sell it is crucial that your sales proposal has been
carefully and professionally developed.
By the end of the session participants will:
- Prepare for each call
- Reveal and identify customers' needs
- Differentiate features and benefits
- Present the benefits of their products, services
and sales proposals
- Use visual aids appropriately.
The pack contains:
| Pre-Course Preparation |
1 hour |
| Preparing for the Call |
1 hour |
| Revealing the Customer's Needs |
1 hour |
| Presenting Benefits |
1 hour |
| Using Your Sales Presenter |

This is tried and tested material that the authors
have used throughout the world, in many organisations, to help people
to become more effective in developing their sales proposals.
If you are new to training you will find this module
user friendly, with clear, easy to use instructions at every stage.
If you are an experienced trainer, this material
will save you hours of preparation time. The flexibility
of the package makes it very easy to modify so you can add your
own ideas or you favourite activities and exercises.
