My Approach & Values
I can work with complete novices to the seasoned sales consultant who needs a fresh approach or even re-assurance that she hasn’t lost her touch.
The different modules on offer are:
• Get into the right mood and “getting into the bride’s world” – the importance of mindset on the sale
• First impressions on the phone and face to face
• Common sales roadblocks/objections
• Closing the sale and closing that sale in 90 minutes!
• Selling to different personality types
• Convincer strategies – selling to different decision making styles
• Selling to Millennials – collaborate v control.
• Product knowledge – shapes, fabrics, veils and descriptive language
