Improving Sales Workshop at Kirrawee
Workshop on: How to deepen & improve your questioning technique to increase sales and shorten the sale cycle. Thursday 23 September 10.00am to 1.00pm at Business Enterprise Centre, 29-33 Waratah St, Kirrawee
Ever wonder why people aren’t buying your great product or service? Learn how to deepen the questions you ask potential clients/customers and make those questions customer specific rather than related to your product. During this course you will learn how to look for what it is that is missing in your sales strategy rather than what you have, because THAT is often not enough.
Presented by Thomas Priess - Sales Development Coach at Singtel Optus, who spends his days coaching Sales Managers and Sales People.
