Connect, Stand Out and Close

 

The goal of Sales CatalystTM Training is to help your team uniquely position your products and services, build strategic alliances, and close more sales.  The best way to do this is by developing an integrated approach to selling your products and services.  To close the BIG sale you have to think BIG.  You have to develop a broad view of your customer’s business and strategically connect your solution with the direction of their business.  Our three-fold theme, “Connect, Stand Out and Close” will give you the right tools to win the heart of your customer and outperform your competitors.

Connect:  At the end of the day, you can’t close more sales if you can’t find new customers.  Your ability to connect with new customers on a regular basis will greatly determine your ability to close more sales. For some, this is very painful.  Why?  Although business professionals understand the importance of extending their reach and networking to find new customers, they don’t do it.  Instead, they make excuses and put their influence on hold.  The result, missed opportunities.  Missed opportunities to connect with new customers and expand into unchartered waters.

Stand Out:  First you connect and then you stand out.  Once we help you connect with new customers, the next step is to help you stand out and differentiate yourself from others within your industry.  We will teach you how to capture what’s really important to your customer and position yourself to win.  What’s important to you is not always important to your customer. Standing out involves developing a customer centered approach to sales by laying a foundation that integrates your business solution with their business.  It’s as simple as matching two ideas, two dreams and strategies, into one agenda, with one purpose—to grow together.  It also involves developing a thorough understanding and cultivating your customer’s vision, strategy, obstacles and needs, just to name a few.  If you don’t stand out, your competition will be more than happy to do it for you.

Close:  After you stand out with your customer it’s time to connect the dots and propose a strong close.  Closing involves skillfully demonstrating how your business solution is exceptionally relevant to every part of their business.  Closing and sales in general, is both an art and a science.  It requires detailed analysis in areas that matter to your customer and extraordinary creativity in the way you present your solution.  You have to pain a bold picture for your customer and help them include your business solution as an essential part of their long-term health as an organization.  At the end of the day, you can’t close more sales if you can’t find new customers.  We will teach you how to capture what’s really important to your customer and position yourself to win.
