Winning Sales Presentations Program

 

Research suggests that in a typical face-to-face meeting a salesperson should talk 50% of the time while the client should also talk 50% to ensure the dialogue is not only balanced but also need-based and client-focused.  As the sales cycle progresses to the presentation stage and the salesperson is ready to position a solution and ask for the business, what should happen to the talk/listen ratio?  The success of the presentation is “all in the numbers” — in fact, the most persuasive presentations are structured so that the salesperson/team speaks 70% of the time and the client participates 30%.  So how can you help ensure that your presentations meet this benchmark and clearly differentiate you from the competition?

 

Richardson’s Winning Sales Presentations Program helps salespeople and their teams win business by delivering a consultative, client-focused presentation that actively involves clients.  This interactive approach helps a salesperson validate, continuously throughout the presentation, how the client perceives the overall message, solution, and team, while uncovering objections and gauging how well they are differentiating from the competition.  This two-way dialogue enables any adjustments to be made immediately during the presentation to generate more positive win rates while allowing for objections to be resolved and questions to be answered.  Participants learn to manage nervousness and enhance delivery and learn a Presentation Framework to more effectively craft a persuasive message matched to client needs.  The course content is highly customized to real-life sales challenges, and participants can be videotaped for intensive one-on-one coaching and feedback.
