Telesales

Making Customer Recommendations
The recommendation begins where the discovery leaves off-with a clear consensus about the customer objectives. Representatives are not selling products and services; they’re selling “solutions” that can help the customer reach his or her objectives.

The final ”confirming question” to the customer in which the representative and the customer agree that they have understood the customers’ objectives correctly is the foundation for their recommendation. In this course, your representatives will learn the four-step recommendation process which is an essential part of customer interactions.

When participants have completed this module:

  • They will be able to make clear recommendations to customers about the objectives they plan to meet through the selling interaction based clearly on the clues they identified during the discovery process and the agreement they and the customers have reached.

Making Customer Recommendations is offered as an online course only, that is 1.5 – 2 hours in length.

The Incoming Sales Call
The relationship representatives establish in the first few seconds of the customer’s call will dictate their chances of success. The first words out of their mouths are the most important part of the whole customer interaction. In the first few seconds, they’ll establish whether they and the organization they work for are professional and responsive to their customers, or not.

Representatives want to provide the customer with service, but they also want to look for opportunities to provide products or services to the customer. In this course they will learn how they can make the transition from taking an order to providing a service to a sales conversation.

When participants have completed this module:

  • They will understand how to use effective listening skills.
  • They will be able to demonstrate the ability to identify opportunities to provide customers with additional products and services.
  • They will be able to make the transition from service to selling conversation with a customer.
