Telesales training course – Corby 22nd January 2009

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

You have an opportunity to join us for a one day telesales course in Corby on 22nd January.

We have been commissioned to run a course by a Northamptonshire training company on that day. Some of the delegates will be theirs, but we have 2 places available at the moment.

This course is highly suitable for any telesales or telemarketing people, especially if you’re based in Northampton, Corby, Kettering, Wellingborough, Peterborough, Leicestershire or Northamptonshire. You can e-mail us at info@tomarket.co.uk for more course details, but the course will cover ;   

·         Discussion on the key things that work and don’t work in verbal communication (and how all these things are mostly based around just 2 key principles !)

 

·         The true impact of Expression, Energy and Emphasis. How just the opening 6 words of a call can tell you 40 + things about a stranger (you can’t even see !)

 

·         Questioning skills. To understand what different types of questions there are, how to know when to use them, and how to structure a good sales call around good questioning techniques. We also demonstrate how it makes people like you more too !

 

·         Understanding the sales process so as to be able to navigate your way through an effective call. How to know what to do, when. This will cover ;

 

o        How to open a telesales call (and how it’s different to face to face sales.)

o        Identifying customer needs

o        Use of quality questions to unearth the right information and build rapport

o        Dealing with different types of customer

o        How to wrap up a sales call

 

·         How to organise your telephone sales activity (to get the most out of your time)

 

·         Who to prioritise to get the best chance of success

 

·         Getting past gatekeepers. Understanding that it is all part of the game

 

·         Opening lines to use to create interest

 

·         Ways of dealing with the dreaded ‘price objection’

 

·         How to sell on things other than price

 

The fee for this course is just £199 + VAT per delegate. In return we will feed you, give you warm drinks, a set of notes and a host of useful and motivational ideas and new techniques to try !

 

Structuring a powerful sales call opening

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

Needless to say starting your outbound sales call with a good strong opening is particularly important. Because of course if the opening doesn’t grab their attention, then you won’t get past first base, and all the other wonderful things you want to tell them will be wasted !

So do I recommend starting with a powerful series of benefit statements ? Well ‘No,’ probably not in most instances. People like to be communicated with in a respectful, clear way. So make your call crystal clear.

You should start with 3 things in the first sentence. You say ;

  1. Your name
  2. Your organisations name
  3. The reason for your call

This allows the other person to be clear about the context for your call, and they’ll start to evaluate their responses. Be honest and open at the start and you will get more from the other person. This is one of the parts of the 2 day telesales course that we run. You can download a full course schedule by following this link http://www.tomarket.co.uk/course-schedules.php but the opening of the sales call is an important part of your ’script’ so work hard to get it right.

And of course preparing the reason why  you’re calling also makes sure that you know why you’re making this call !
