11:50 a.m.		   Capitalize on Collaboration: Understanding Your Clients’ Needs
 Too often, salespeople approach prospects as if they were in a competition, resulting in an attitude of conquering instead of consulting. The sales process works best as a mutually beneficial collaboration, which can only be achieved by first identifying prospects’ needs, then highlighting the benefits of appropriate products and services to meet those needs. The result is long-term client relationships, upsell opportunities and recommendations. In this session, you’ll discover proven, integrity-based techniques including:
  • Having a focus on initiating new business
  • Mastering the “Questioning Quadrant.”
