Budget and Decision-Making Steps- President's Club
These are classic examples of the difference between literal Sandler and the real world use of the system.
Literal - Two simple questions: Do you have a budget set aside to address this problem? What sort of decision-making process do you go through?
Reality, as you may have already figured out is quite different. In this session, we will look at the information you need to gather from a prospect – and when and how you go about getting it – as you go through your “qualify or disqualify” process.

Understanding Our Customers: DISC- Strategic Customer Care
Typically, people are more comfortable interacting with people who are like themselves. In this session, we’ll examine peoples’ communication preferences to improve understanding and communication with both internal and external customers. Using the DISC behavioral profile, we start by examining the four quadrants, and our own preferences. We will learn the differences of the four styles, how to quickly identify a person’s dominant style, and the basis of communicating with each one. Once identified, we can modify our styles to our customers’ to facilitate optimum communication.

Questioning Techniques-Strategic Customer Care
The ability to craft, and ask, good, compelling questions is one of the great skills we can have in customer service and inside sales. Much of a customer service representative or inside sales person’s day is spent answering other people’s questions. What we may not give as much thought to is how, and why, we should ask questions. Well-crafted questions can cut through smoke and mirrors, help to clarify our customers’ thinking, and get us to the right solutions more directly than passively answering questions. Asking questions is more assertive and puts you in control.

Telephone and Email Communication-Strategic Customer Care
More and more, technology is replacing old, slower ways of doing business. One thing remains constant: customers are unique individuals who want to be treated with courtesy and respect – whether it’s in person, on the telephone or by email. We don’t help voice mails, we don’t sell to the internet – it’s always about the people. These tools cannot replace the one-on-one direct communication that connects us to our customers and builds trust and rapport. We can, however, use them more effectively to avoid disconnects between ourselves and the customer. This session we’ll review both the telephone and email – our connections to the outside world and our customers - to ensure our communication skills are building the relationships we value, not damaging them.
