Sandler Enterprise Selling provides the strategy, processes, and tools to keep sales opportunities moving forward to favorably predictable conclusions.
In major accounts, there are a lot of things that must happen before you reach out to a prospect or client account about a specific opportunity. The critical first step is planning.
This stage gives you the tools you need to prospect effectively, engage with targets, communicate with them to deliver valued, compelling insights, and set mutual expectations for the sales process.
You will learn how to choose which deals to pursue based on whether it makes sense for both sides to proceed. Ongoing analysis helps you fortify both your offensive and defensive strategies.
Once you’ve earned the right to move ahead with the preparation of a proposal, that solution should uniquely qualify you to win the business by aligning directly to the account’s needs and pains.
In this stage, you will identify and execute the team activities involved in finalizing the proposal, ensuring that the voice of the customer rings out in the document to drive decisions and action.
After all the time, money, and effort you invested to pursue this opportunity, it is now time to focus on service excellence and delivering effectively. Internal and external communication is critical during this final phase.
