Systematic Handling of Selling Obstacles by Rowen Untivero
PROGRAM CONCEPT
NOT ALL OBSTACLES ARE OBJECTIONS! NOT ALL PRICING QUESTIONS ARE OBJECTIONS!
The seminar helps participants distinguish between the different types of obstacles. Only in so doing, will they be able to handle each effectively. By anchoring on selling science frameworks and principles as well as using a logic-based client-centric handling process, supplemented by real-cases in easier-to-understand-and-retain story format, participants gain a systematic and clear approach to addressing selling obstacles. Combine a visual framework-matrix of the critical knowledge being passed on followed thru with skill drills on both obstacle diagnosis and handling, learning effectiveness is supercharged and made enjoyable at the same time.

Schedule
Who Should Attend
This course should be required for every sales person, young or old, inexperienced or a veteran still who are still using traditional objection-handling methods. Failure to update their methods is too much of a risk and far more expensive in terms of lost business opportunities for any company to bear. The seminar provides the frontline veteran an unlearning, learning and relearning opportunity to evolve directionally away from career extinction. On the other hand, the course provides the sales neophyte, a powerful head start against reinvented selling veterans and hotshot novices. This is also recommended to personnel who need to sell their proposals and ideas within their companies or conglomerates and to win management, team or peer approvals.
