Participants receive 3 months of access to the myKISON eLearning program along with monthly 90-minute webinars facilitated by program creator Ralph Kison. The webinars include case studies, role plays, and peer discussions so participants can apply the content to their own situations.
The program is presented in 13 units and covers personal sales, personal branding, creating business opportunities, and The Sales Diamond™—a 6-step beginning-to-end sales process providing attendees with the framework to both “Earn The Right” to sell and "Secure Commitment" from clients.
Attendees will learn how to:
- Develop the mindset and skills required to become an effective rainmaker.
- Move away from an “always be closing” mindset to one of leading their clients to informed, value-based buying decisions.
- Utilize the Sales Diamond™ framework to elicit positive client responses, eliminate the stigma of being “salesy”, and become seen as high-value solution providers.
- Successfully differentiate themselves and their firms as strategic partners and trusted advisors based on the value of their services and expertise.
- Shorten the buying cycle by leveraging their personal network to connect with decision makers.
- Secure profitable work by designing high-impact value-based solutions and options, rather than by competing on the lowest price or fee.
- Apply engagement strategies for selling via social media, telephone, face-to face, and other communication methods.
- Develop prospecting and client engagement strategies to obtain leads and referrals in an efficient manner.
- Design and conduct sales presentations to persuasively address client buying motivations.
- Create a networking and opportunities management plan to increase their success rates.
- Find opportunities to up-sell and cross-sell their expertise and services to profitable clients.
- Professionally disengage from unprofitable clients to free up time for their best clients.
- Follow up with clients using relationship-building strategies to ensure client satisfaction and loyalty.
