Content

This comprehensive sales training program is suitable for anyone who uses the phone to generate leads, make appointments, sell products and services, follow-up quotes, mail-outs, inactive customers and existing customers. It begins with an overview of the vital ingredients you must have to be successful in telephone sales.

You can have all the sales skills in the world but if you sound dull and boring on the phone, you will sell nothing. We will discuss five ways to make yourself sound more engaging, so people do not hang up on you. You will also learn some professional telephone etiquette, and key words that cause people resistance.

We will then discuss selling and some interesting ways to get through the gatekeeper. You’ll create a script for making an appointment that will work for you the next day. This will incorporate the questions to ask and the listening skills you need to demonstrate.

In the afternoon, you’ll learn how to make the entire sale over the phone, how to present what you have to offer with benefits, how to close, and how to upsell and cross sell. How to handle the inbound call is also covered in this section.

There is a specific way you’ll learn to follow-up quotes, mail-outs, existing customers, inactive customers and sales. Doing so will ensure better results.

You will also learn the 6 Steps to preparing a successful telesales campaign – goal setting, script creation, preparation of objection handling, getting a list of whom to target, managing yourself and your follow-ups.

Finally, we cover some techniques to overcome call reluctance should that ever occur, as well as the different CRM systems, with an overview of how to set them up to work with the telephone sales process.
