A Free and Practical Workshop Presented by Lois Raats, M.Ed, and
the CIC-SIG


 

We all do marketing to generate leads, but how does one turn those leads into paying clients? Research into effective selling has confirmed three critical behaviours common to the most successful sales people. They:

  1. Ask a lot more questions
  2. Encourage potential clients to do most of the talking
  3. Wait a lot longer before jumping in with a solution

The Six-Step Selling Process provides a structured framework for conducting the telephone or face-to-face follow-up meeting. We will learn to use coaching techniques to truly understand the needs of our clients, and then to help the client discover how effectively we can meet those needs.
