Sandler Foundations Sales Training Programme

Cambridge | March 6th 2018

The Foundations program is 4 weeks of interactive workshops that deliver the fundamentals of the Sales Mastery program. These workshops introduce the basic concepts of our advanced program and cover the attitudes, behaviours and techniques that are essential to understanding Sandler's methodology.

 

STAGE ONE OF THE SALES PROCESS

  • Develop a rapport with prospects.
  • Have a sincere desire to help them solve problems, face challenges, or achieve goals.
  • Control the selling process by establishing up-front agreements with your prospects about the progression of the selling process, and who will be responsible for what.

STAGE TWO OF THE SALES PROCESS

  • Concentrate first on the degree of fit between what you have to offer and the prospect’s problem, challenge, or goal.
  • Determine if the prospect is willing and able to commit the necessary resources to acquire and use the product or service you will eventually propose.
  • Before you begin working on solutions and presentations, determine exactly how your offer will be judged—and by whom.

STAGE THREE OF THE SALES PROCESS

  • Closing activities only take place with prospects who have “survived” the qualifying stage and have agreed to make a decision at the conclusion of a presentation.
  • Presentations should focus only on the pains uncovered earlier in the process—nothing more; nothing less.
  • Post-Sell activities will “lock up” the sale and facilitate the transition of the relationship from buyer-seller to partners working toward a common goal of delivery.

In the Foundations Program you will learn:

Week 1:

• Understanding Your Extended DISC Communication Style: Learn how your DISC profile allows you to better understand yourself and to find the most successful way to communicate with prospects, clients, and internal team members.

Week 2:
• The Importance of Bonding & Building Rapport: Learn and apply specific Sandler techniques to start a sales conversation and establish an emotional bond and positive rapport with your prospects.
• Elements of an Up-Front Contract: Take control of the sales process by establishing an agenda and mutual beneficial guidelines for a productive conversation.
• Identifying Reasons for Doing Business (PAIN): Learn the high-powered qualifying processes needed to probe for true buyer motivations.

Week 3:
• Questioning Strategies: Learn to improve your information gathering to gain greater understanding of your prospects, as you help them discover and articulate their needs.
• Uncovering the Prospect’s Budget: Uncover the investment constraints of your prospects and whether they are willing and able to make them.
• Understanding the Prospect’s Decision-Making Process: Learn how to uncover your prospect's decision-making process, as well as how to spot, remove, or avoid sales roadblocks.

Week 4:
• Closing the Sale (Fulfillment & Post-Sell): Learn to consistently close and reinforce sales by focusing on the prospect's pain, decision-making process, and budget, and learn how to set the stage for future business and referrals.
• Improving Your BAT-ing Average: Take a hard look at your Beliefs, Attitudes, and Techniques and how to increase your chances of sustainable success.
