Sales Conversation Skills Questas face to face classroom training icon Live virtual classroom

We help technical people feel comfortable with the idea of selling – demonstrating that it is not some sort of ‘dark art’ – which can make a radical change to the dialogue they have with existing and potential clients.

Course overview

Our sales training has been developed over years into an approach designed for both natural and ‘unnatural’ salespeople. We have a tried and tested structure which will help participants become more effective at professional sales conversations. Participants practice different tasks to build their skill sets, from listening techniques and questioning skills to building trust and gaining the client’s commitment.

Who’s it for?

This professional development is designed for anyone responsible for building client relationships, uncovering new opportunities and converting them into fee paying work.

Ideally suited for: Consulting Engineers, Planners, Lawyers, Architects, Environmental Consultants, Cost Consultants and all those who encounter sales conversations in this sector.

Course format

Questas face to face classroom training iconFace to face: A full day workshop aimed at groups of 9 – 15 participants and involves a mixture of theory (our coveted 3i model) and exercises designed to develop consultative selling skills. There is an emphasis on skills practice, and we often use actors to play clients in sales meeting simulations.

Live virtual classroomLive virtual classroom: Ideal for up to 12 participants, this is a 2 hour session aimed at learning the Questas 3i Model structure and components.

Outcomes

The course is designed to resonate with technically minded individuals and ‘unnatural’ salespeople to develop skills and build confidence.

Having completed the session, our participants tell us they have more face-to-face business development discussions and those conversations are more effective, leading to a greater number of opportunities and improved win-rates.
