Developing new propositions or modifying propositions for
particular clients/markets requires particular skills. Selling to
clients who have not yet recognised the need requires particular
skills. This course helps people to develop the skills and focus
on current issues.
Overview
Competition has meant that we need to develop
propositions beyond mere products and services. Propositions that
are relevant for a particular market segment or target prospect.
Bringing new ideas to market requires special skills. Good,
successful salespeople and managers will often fail when it comes
to new propositions or the creative application of existing
products and services.
This course provides the key methodologies and skills required.
Who Should Attend
Any manager or salesperson involved in defining or
selling new propositions.
