Catalyst

 

 

Last week’s “Return on Relationships” workshop, conducted by Clint Babcock of Sandler Training Tampa, was a huge success, equipping attendees with practical strategies to elevate their sales meetings.

 

Key insights included:

 

Pre-Call Planning is Critical

Thorough preparation was the foundation for sales meeting success. Participants learned a step-by-step process for research, objective-setting, and anticipating challenges.

 

Approach with a Consultant Mindset

Rather than a one-way pitch, we emphasized the importance of collaborative, two-way dialogue. Attendees practiced techniques to position themselves as trusted advisors.

 

Establish Equal Business Stature

Strategies to position yourself as an equal business peer, not a subordinate salesperson, helped avoid power struggles.

 

The interactive workshop provided hands-on practice and peer feedback. Participants left energized and equipped with concrete skills.
