More and more companies are increasing their use of the telephone as the quickest and most convenient way of establishing customer contacts. Call centres and mail order are the fastest growing operational departments for UK organisations and these organisations recognise that telesales and telemarketing are a key part of their sales strategy. It is essential that  telesales staff represent their organisation in a professional and friendly way, using clear and effective communication to ensure that customer value is maximised and potential business is not lost. If your staff are not trained properly on telephone sales, how much business are they losing your company?

This course will ensure your staff always project the correct image to your potential customers to make sure your company stands out from the crowd. It has been developed for telemarketers who make a significant number of prospecting calls and telesales professionals who have to handle a large number of incoming sales calls. It is written with both the customer and the organisation in mind to maximise on potential sales.

Telesales, Introduction to Selling, Negotiation skills and Presentation Skills are some of the sales related courses trained by Total Success Training  throughout the UK.  If you require further information on our training courses you can contact us, where we will be happy to assist with your queries.

WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM THE COURSE?

This course is designed to give both new and experienced telesales professionals the confidence to approach, appoint, present to and close potential customers. Delegate numbers are limited to no more than eight to allow an environment where the maximum learning can be achieved. We use a combination of learning methods but place emphasis on role-play reinforcement of real life situations based on products and services relevant to the delegate's organisation.

 

TYPICAL TWO-DAY COURSE AGENDA

Day One

  • Professional telephone techniques. Projecting a professional image; making effective outgoing calls; building rapport; voice presentation skills; creating good first impressions on both internal and external calls.

  • Why customers buy. Customer transition and the psychology of buying; how to match sales with customer needs and wants; creating powerful ‘attention-getters’ designed specifically to improve the positioning of your products and organisation with the customer.

  • Opening the call. How to create impact and capture the customers interest in the first few vital seconds of the call. Developing high impact statements and questions that keep you in control and make the customer want to listen to you.

  • Questioning techniques and need finding. Using open and closed questions to uncover real customer needs. Using questions to discover problems and create value in solutions provided by your product. Active listening techniques; hearing the whole picture. Paraphrasing and summarising needs as a transition to selling the benefits of your product.

Day Two

  • Benefit selling. Adding value to your product; how to present both known and unknown benefits.

  • Closing skills. Closing with confidence and recognising when to close the client

  • Handling objections. Understanding the types of objection; dealing with objections effectively; overcoming the gate-keeper; keeping control during a call.

  • Selling value. How to increase the 'average value' of each order by selling the value that matches customer needs

  • Appointment making. How to capture the clients attention, build rapport and make quality appointments.

 

Our training is carried out in a risk free environment which encourages delegates to practice the skills needed for successful appraisals. We use a number of training methods including role-play, video, audio, workshops and group exercises to enhance the learning process.
