The Evolution of Selling

Course Overview

Growing Sales One Satisfied Customer at a Time
Selling theory has undergone a fundamental shift which reflects the impact of an increasingly competitive marketplace, as well as a more informed customer base. The result is an educated customer who expects to be treated with respect and involved in the selling process! This course actively seeks to meet this need through a consultative sales and customer service approach. Research shows this will help to grow bodyshop sales while simultaneously creating increased customer satisfaction. If growing sales is important to you, don’t miss this highly interactive class with exercises, role plays, and case studies that help build a strong, consistent, repeatable sales process for your company.

COURSE OBJECTIVE
To improve the selling and customer service skills of bodyshop personnel through the 5-step consultative sales process.
