"We turned to LSA Global to help us take our executive and solution selling skills to the next level, which will ultimately help our customers succeed. Their ability to formally assess our situation, identify key sales skill gaps, develop a plan to measure the results, and fully implement a key sales initiative - has been outstanding. LSA delivers the full solution; not just sales training and I would recommend them to any organization looking to transform its sales force the “right way” to sell higher and wider." Daniel Heckman, Director of Sales-Enterprise Accounts - Avid Technology

Description:
Solution selling training provides the principles and techniques required for building long-term and mutually beneficial client relationships while simultaneously meeting aggressive sales revenue and margin targets. This proven solution selling training helps you to call higher, clearly differentiate yourself based on value, act in a more consultative way, align with your customer’s buying process and business goals, qualify more effectively, guide decisions, present solutions, manage resistance, and close the sale. You will learn how to accomplish all of this while effectively building trust and a valued, long-term client relationship.

The intensive 2 ½ day workshop allows each participant to view a current sales opportunity through the lens of the customer's decision making process and to practice the proven skills and techniques necessary to succeed. The interactive design includes skill application, group exercises, role plays, case studies, video-based instruction, solution selling best practice modeling, sales planning, and sales coaching.  To ensure the Transfer of Training™, the proven four step solution selling implementation process includes:

1. Assess: A proven solution selling skills assessment used to take a baseline measurement of the areas of strength and weakness against best practice consultative and solution selling attributes.
    

2. Design and Deliver: A customized solution selling training workshop focusing on the most impactful areas to your sales force and your business.
    

3. Implement and Support: A 12-Week Field Application Process and sales reinforcement system to ensure the transfer of training that is supported by a proven sales performance coaching methodology and individual sales development plans.
    

4. Measure and Continuously Improve: A statistically valid sales measurement of the individual and business results.

After this process, salespeople become powerful assets to their sales teams and to their customers through their selling approach and the value they bring.
