The telephone is now an essential part of selling. The
telephone presents particular challenges - which explains why many
sales people are successful face-to-face but not on the telephone.
Overview
Telephone selling is a highly specialised form of
selling. It is more than just selling by use of the telephone. The
absence of body language means we must rely on our voice only.
Many salespeople who are good face-to-face, are poor on the
telephone.
Time is compressed on the telephone. Seconds seem like minutes.
Minutes seem like hours. This means we need skills to compensate
for the lack of time.
This intensive and practical course provides the key skills
needed.
Who Should Attend
All new telephone salespeople or those who wish to
improve/refresh their ability to sell using the telephone.
