  3. Objectives • Share best-practice • Simple, easily incorporated sales techniques • Learn from our colleagues • Leave feeling more confident in our sales abilities • The end prize – more sales!

  4. What NOT to expect…

  5. Bio – Muriel Molloy • Family of shopkeepers • Training courses for Microsoft, Education for Peace, Nostra Systems, New Horizons… • AIB – Background in Telesales • Sales and Marketing Development manager in Typetec • Responsibility for the sales targets of a team of 4 telesales staff and 3 field sales • Small business owner – leads generation

  6. Introductions • Name • Job title • Name of Store • What you would like to achieve from today?

  7. The Basics of Selling • A State of Mind • Listening • Good first impression • Elevator pitch • Organisational skills

  8. And finally… • Confidence! But how? • Educate yourself about the products • Practice your script/pitch • Don’t be afraid to say ‘I don’t know – but I’ll get back to you.’

  9. Pre-call planning • The importance of cross-selling • What is my territory? • What is the best use of my time? • What does success look like?

  10. The Script • Put the script in your own words • Make it your own • Generally 2 scripts – one for fact finding and one for sales.

  11. Getting past ‘The Gatekeeper’ • All hail the gatekeeper! (Respect) • Don’t sell PAST the gatekeeper, sell TO the gatekeeper • Again - confidence

  12. Right before the call… • Preferred outcome – face-to-face meeting/email address/sale • Script (the crutch!) • It’s OK to fail, stumble, panic • Assume – I’ll make 10 calls before I get familiar with my script • Think in stats, not quality of individual calls, eg. 5% leads generation = success

  13. Prospecting • Databases • Compass/Yellow Pages/Google • Warming up “cold calls” • Sales Call Planning • Setting sales call objectives • Questions to ask • Objections to anticipate

  14. Networking • BNI (Business Network International) • Chambers of Commerce Ireland • County Enterprise Boards • Women in Business • Through Sports Associations/Boards/Community involvement • Start your own network? • Facebook/LinkedIn

  18. Managing your Prospect list • In Excel • But remember – these are only tools • Timely and consistent follow-up • Example of a simple plan for sales calls

  19. Exercise • Looking at your current database or your 3 hot prospects, try putting together a simple, realistic contact plan for over the next week. • State some goals which would move these prospects further along the sales funnel.

  22. Sales meetings • Importance of consistence and accountability • Agree targets • Agree timelines • BANT criteria – Budget, Authority, Need, Timing • Recognise and reward hard work and perseverance

  23. Exercise • Take 5 minutes to discuss what are challenging but realistic targets for your business. • By month • How many meetings or phone calls would you need to make to reach these targets?

  24. Exercise • Customer objections • Write down one objection you have received in the past when trying to sell • Discuss with the person next to you, how you could possibly overcome that objection in the future
