Intended for:

For experienced salespeople and sales managers:

• To strengthen the skills of sellers andfor replenishment

• To understand and systematize the function of sales management.

​

Challenge:

The sales process for B2B sellers in the Big Client, Slow Sales Cycle or Export markets brings complicated and sometimes difficult to predict situations.

​

Large customers are not only tempting opportunities, but also significant risks of unhealthy fluctuations for business. The slow sales cycle is not only an opportunity to prepare well, but also the uncertainty of when and if the all-important order will arrive. Export markets are not only an endless business potential, but also an almost endless uncertainty about what the desired sales channels are and exactly how to influence them.

​

However, the difficulties do not change the basic goal of the business: to profitably master the Clients and their projects. How to achieve this effectively and systematically?

​

This challenge leads to more nuanced questions. How to control the content and quality of sales talks? How to effectively create the company's sales arguments and counter-arguments to competitors? How to find out the customer's needs qualitatively? How to recognize customer manipulation? What is the buying process and how should its participants apply at each stage? How to forecast income and required internal resources? How to systematize information flow? What KPIs most accurately signal the “health” of the sales function? How to plan time, priorities and upcoming tasks to achieve goals with less expenditure of team energy?
