“Our goal in this workshop is to help the sales professional or company sales team embrace a sales methodology that works for them and their product or service. Selling is a dialog with your customers that builds relationships with them by listening to “their” challenges and matching that with a value-based solution that solves their problems. Salespeople need to focus on what’s important to the prospect and/or customer to determine if there is a true fit to gain their business. .”
