How
the Best Get Better in Sales
Since
1977, Jack
Falvey has been presenting this keynote
address to the Fortune 100 at national meetings. Prior to each
engagement, he spends a day in the field calling on customers with a
meeting participant. They don't send him out with the deadwood, so he
has worked with some of the best sales professionals in the world.
This
presentation shares what professionals do that
makes them so successful. It challenges the audience to apply the same
strategy to their own markets and customers.
Content: How
professionals build selling skills is addressed using a
brief tennis analogy. The audience is asked to participate in a
three-minute clinic! The exercise illustrates the point that an overall
strategy can apply to all levels, and that skills are developed by
being a student of the game on a daily basis.
The
time it takes to become a proficient professional
is normally greatly underestimated. The task becomes one of making
every sales call a "sales training" call.
- The best sales people don't always
make the best
sales presentations. But they always ask the best questions.
- The best sales people are students
of their
customers' business and often know more about a customer's situation in
their area of expertise than the client themselves!
- The
best sales people are students of the selling process and what works
best for them with their customers in their marketplace.
- The
best sales people are always subject experts. They never stop learning.
Current customers provide the best source of application knowledge.
- Without a pre-call objective and a
set of closing
questions, sales people are merely well paid tourists. Sales
professionals know where they are going and how to get there.
The
presentation includes a couple of
summary handouts and can be recorded with reproduction rights granted
to the client organization.
By
means of a dialog with the audience (45 to 90 minutes, with 60-70
minutes being ideal), the running time is adjusted with full content
being delivered at all lengths.
Fees: $12,000 plus
first-class air transportation and hotel accommodations.
The advance field day
is included on an "expenses only" basis.
