Many business owners and sales managers believe “sales training doesn’t work.” They view training as an event—often a short-term “quick fix” designed primarily for the moment. But effective training must be a process. It must include application with measurement, feedback, fine-tuning and reinforcement.
This is why Sandler Training works. Achieving lasting behavioural change and mastering new skills does not occur overnight, and Sandler Training is built on the concept of incremental growth and change over time—supported by repetition, reinforcement and coaching.
With Sandler Training, you are not alone. Your Sandler trainer is constantly with you, providing coaching, encouragement and feedback as you learn to apply Sandler Training strategies and tactics to your business environment.
Salespeople are not likely to consistently implement a particular selling strategy or tactic, regardless of how effective it may be, unless it is part of an overall behavioural plan. And, they are not likely to implement a plan unless it is supported by the appropriate attitude and outlook. Sandler Training addresses all three areas necessary for success--attitude, behaviour and technique.
Each participant-centred training session—partly motivational, partly instructional—provides you with the concept, knowledge and understanding of the topic as it applies to your selling environment. Through appropriate exercises, you’ll refine your sales-development plan, practice strategies and techniques in a safe environment, and develop your skills, before interacting with prospects and customers.
After a few sessions with Mark, our cold calling approach was fundamentally changed by incorporating the "up front contract", "pain" and "30 second commercial "concepts. The result is that we now (almost!) look forward to the cold calling, rather than putting it off and making excuses, and even better, it works a treat.
My sales people can now consistently generate firmly agreed, highly qualified sales appointments. However, it wasn't just the techniques that helped, but also the attitude and drive which Mark instilled in us. Mark's combination of attitude and technique training, delivered over a period of time, is hard work and time consuming, but above all else, it works.
