Webcast: The Power of Fact-Based Selling

Wednesday, September 30, 2009
1:00-2:00pm ET
Registration fee: $79

mwm_mcn1In most professional services sales, you seek answers to two questions: What is the client’s problem and what should you do to resolve it? Once you think you have the answers, you get busy designing an approach for addressing the issue, a sales proposal, and a strategy for making the sale.

For too many sellers, that approach leads to endless proposal revisions, interminable sales cycles, and a reduced probability of winning the work. Why? Because this approach fails to consider the most important question in any services sale: What is really causing the problem?

In this webcast, we’ll discuss how you can become a more productive seller using time-tested techniques for uncovering the facts and the real challenge your client faces.

Once you’ve nailed down the client’s issue, your proposed solution will be more compelling, valuable, and less complex to sell. Plus, you’ll know if pursuing the sale makes sense for you.

The session will focus on the essential strategies of fact-based selling including:

  • Six analytical techniques for discovering the facts behind any client’s issue
  • Three questions you must ask in every client interview
  • How to create consensus about the problem–and your solution–among key client stakeholders.

At the end of the session you’ll have powerful strategies to accelerate your sales process, create highly relevant sales propositions, and build your client relationships.
