The Versatile Salesperson (VSP) is a highly effective program designed to help your sales professionals develop the versatility skills they need to sell the way customers like to buy. The program teaches interpersonal versatility, which enables your salespeople to act as consultants and foster trusting relationships that make strong connections with customers.
Our classroom-based approach to The Versatile Salesperson is a flexible, two day, instructor-led program designed to help salespeople and consultants develop the interpersonal and versatility skills necessary to adapt their behavior to sell the way customers like to buy. The learning experience is enhanced by the use of the Social Style Profile, a multi-rater instrument that measures perceived Social Style and versatility. Participants learn to recognize the four Social Styles and the needs and expectations associated with each. As a result, they can plan strategies to improve their versatility and practice applying style modification skills in business situations. The program is specifically designed for salespeople and sales support people, who will quickly make the connection to their interactions with customers.
The first module, Adapting to Customers' Social Styles, introduces the concept of Social Styles and versatility and emphasizes the importance of developing comfort with customers as a critical factor in advancing the sale.
The second module, Adapting the Customer Interaction Process, provides an opportunity for participants to practice what they’ve learned in the previous module and apply it to their real world. Participants are asked to prepare several cases of actual customers. On the second day, a simple four-phase sales process is defined and through a series of role plays and exercises, participants develop and practice high-versatility strategies for these customers.
The Versatile Salesperson is a results-oriented program, and addresses the direct impact that versatility has on increased sales performance. It helps participants advance in their professional selling careers, providing mutual benefits to the organization and the individual salesperson. Strategic Enhancement Group can also conduct related impact analyses and ROI studies to measure the results of the effort.
