COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Professional sales success requires continuing development of conversation skills. Knowling when to have impactful business conversations with the why, what, and how in making buying decisions moves opportunities through the funnel faster, and increases win rates. Sales AQ is the ability to provide answers during conversations between a seller and buyer. In this course participants learn to identify key conversations needed to sell, fund, and implement their products and services. In order to improve communication skills participants will learn to develop answers with the greatest impact on influencing buyer decision making. They will also learn how to realign their questioning techniques to more effectively engage buyers in answering key questions.
