Then, you should accentuate your strengths by exploiting the different forms of communication. Whether through verbal or non-verbal communication, your timing, your elocution or your choice of vocabulary, each element contributes to a more effective and engaging interaction with the customer.
Finally, mastering the logic of questioning and the 3 types of questions will allow you to deepen your understanding of the customer’s needs.

Next, it is crucial that you master the art of rephrasing to generate customer engagement. Knowing how to use the SCORE model, which consists of summarizing the key points of the discussion in a concise and precise manner, strengthens mutual understanding and promotes effective communication between the customer and you.
Next, it is important to present and argue your solution in a convincing manner. The CAPB technique, which consists of highlighting the Features, Advantages, Evidence and Benefits of your offer, allows you to highlight its strengths and meet the customer’s specific needs in an impactful way.

There are signals that indicate that the customer is ready to close the sale, do you know how to spot them? We will show you how to identify these favorable signs that reveal an opportunity to be seized and that will facilitate the conclusion of the contract. You thus increase their chances of success.
An equally crucial skill is the ability to make a smooth transition between the exchange phase and the final stages of the sale. Knowing how to approach the discussion on the next steps with confidence and clarity will allow you to maintain the momentum of the conversation and guide your customer towards the desired conclusion.
Finally, putting these skills into practice is essential to mastering them. We will practice closing sales in simulated situations while learning to reassure your customer.

By putting these points of attention into practice when preparing for your next sales interview, you can create a clear and effective roadmap. This allows you to structure your actions and approach the interview with confidence and assurance, thus increasing the chances of concluding the sale satisfactorily.
An organization in advance of a future sales interview is possible and is extremely useful to know how you can react depending on the direction the discussion will take. We work on your personal action plan, we simulate your next interview with a future client … we prepare you to use all your new knowledge the day after the training.
