SALES TRAINING OFFERINGS – FOCUSED ON NEW BUSINESS

SOAR SELLING 2.0 – How To Make Strategic Contact with Key Decision Makers

90% of every net-dial can result in reaching a Decision Maker or High Influencer! Salespeople discover the basic strategies for making contact 90% of the time with a clear ethical process. SOAR is a simple yet sophisticated instruction founded in a proven strategic process that is real world not theoretical.  Salespeople will learn a highly ethical strategy for generating a greater percentage of appointments and leave with immediate take-away application.  Prospecting will become interesting, rewarding and productive for each participant. At the end of the program, proof of concept will be provided in the form of ‘Live dialing’ by attendees with instructor support. SOAR C-Level Contact is viable for seasoned salespeople as well as for new sales talent. If driving new business has value to your organization SOAR is the critical missing link. Multiple clients have said “without making contact …. what to do when you get in is a moot point!”

Key Components

  • Asking for the Decision Maker with Confidence and Presence

SOAR Selling 2.0 – Value Statement Development & Objection Handling

A powerful Value Statement enables even the newest salesperson the opportunity to initiate immediate interest when contacting a new prospect. Knowing what to say and how to say it generates more qualified appointments. The process of developing compelling value statements combined with handling some of the most common objections is accomplished by creating customized value statements and multiple responses for objections for each product line or vertical in a workshop format. This session is recommended after the SOAR Contact course to ensure the SOAR Live Dialing day will result in the best results possible for setting 1^st meetings!

Qualifying During the Prospecting Call

Qualifying or refining interest offers the salesperson the opportunity to better understand the intention or need of the new prospect. When a new contact says “send me something” most salespeople believe either that is the prospects way to get off the phone (no interest) OR the salesperson often assumes that the “send me something” request is a statement of interest and in fact it may be, but then again it may not be.  Qualifying this familiar request provides the salesperson with authentic pipelines vs pipedreams!

Key Components

• Gather information to help develop your business case
• The skill of asking 2nd and 3rd level questions
• Put the prospect first with our consultative approach

SOAR Selling 2.0 – Live Dialling and Appointment Setting

The impact of delivering SOAR Selling ‘live’ can’t be understated.  Typical responses from attendees are; “I wish I would have known this years ago; my career would have advanced so much faster!” or “I never thought this could work, I can’t believe it!” or “The live dialing segment of this program is electric and brings everything together!” Experiencing SOAR live dialing brings the components of C-Level Contact front and center in a way that is unpresented from other training programs.  Although attendees frequently enter the program as sceptics, doubtful that a 90% contact rate could be achieved with any program, they are quickly converted.  Once live dialing takes place, the mental crossover from sceptic to believer is powerful.

Key Components

• Apply the theory of SOAR Selling 2.0 during real phone calls into a real companies during the training session
• Schedule meetings live during the training session!
• Mindset shift occurs when it comes to telephone and prospecting for new business

The Dialexis Metric platform will measure the increase in contact, appointments, revenue pipeline and closed revenue from baseline.

MINDSET!  The Critical Missing Piece of Top Performance.

The assessment of a salespersons’ performance is best achieved by examining their Mindset and their ability to execute (Mechanics.)  Experience reveals that Mindset is generally the missing link or at the crux of mediocre performance.  Yes, salespeople typically are missing the solid base of mechanics when it comes to “how” to drive new business or get in front of new decision makers.  Bottom-line, providing salespeople with sound mechanics doesn’t always result in top performance.  As mentioned, the culprit is often Mindset. This segment is essential at all levels of sales to inspire, motivate and have each person achieve their top performance!

Initial Meeting Framework

Once the initial first meeting is set – it is now up to the salesperson to relate to the potential new client by understanding their “triggers” such as why they would consider moving forward or even listening.  Salespeople work hard to get the initial appointment and yet they tend to fail miserably by missing the mark during their first meeting. Its critical to understand client “triggers” or why they are interested in learning more. Is it out of pain they have a problem or due to a desire to move forward they have a vision of something better – these are both “triggers.” This working session focuses on how to initially listen for the triggers while setting the first meeting and then outlines the framework for creating a successful meeting!

LEADERSHIP OFFERINGS

Baseline Assessment

Prior to establishing any solutions, Dialexis’ 25-year experience acknowledges the importance of understanding the organization’s existing corporate initiatives before instituting any strategy. Simply teaming with an organization and executing on a reactive basis will, at best, lead to short-term gain.  Substantial results and significant “return on investment” (ROI) requires research to understand what the proper strategy and approach is.  Moving immediately into training without a definitive understanding of leadership’s corporate vision is putting the cart before the horse.  Achieving corporate objectives requires a clear path of mutual and accountable expectations and a partnership mentality to deliver long term significant ROI. reas of investigation may include the following:

Key Components

• Leadership corporate initiatives
• What isn’t working, needs improvement or suggests discontinuance
• Top line revenue objectives
• Leadership skills that require development
• Sales analytics such as recruiting, training, motivating and attrition

The Canoe Theory – Recruiting & Building Top Performers

Applying The Canoe Theory principles, based upon the book The Canoe Theory, is at the core of building a strong united team. The fundamental principle of The Canoe Theory is “simplicity lies on the other side of complexity.”  Harnessing the skill, energy and hearts of many is often viewed as complex.  This simple philosophy when delivered throughout the entire organization will bring an organizations’ culture together. The fundamental formula of the seven tenets formatted in The Canoe Theory book recognizes that everyone being part of the same team and “rowing” all in the same direction is essential for growth, profitability, employee and shareholders’ satisfaction! This simple yet powerful metaphor is a game changer for obtaining results.

Key Components

• Vision
• Vision communication
• Existing talent assessment
• Commitment interviews
• Generating a high performance culture – strategies for maintaining Demand Generation intensity
• Accountability and metrics
• Release – the financial and emotional drain of holding on to poor producers
• Recruiting the best sales talent*
• Training & building – reduction of attrition through a building leadership approachrather than a managing approach

Once the organization embraces The Canoe Theory mindset, recruiting at any level will ensure selecting the right talent. Hiring the wrong individual is an expensive proposition that not only costs the company money, but often destroys cultures. The Canoe Theory has been field tested in masses of industries and with large and small companies alike. The end results are increased employee satisfaction, retention of top talent, attracting key new members of the team, higher performance at all levels and a new refreshing level of accountability.

Key Components

• Recruiting determinants that separate the hunter vs the farmer
• Finding the best candidates in all the wrong places
• Why using recruiting agencies is unnecessary
• Hiring experience vs rookies – what research reveals
• What the best candidates really want – but aren’t getting in the majority of organizations
• How companies are turning sales hiring over to HR and how it’s costing the organization

Leadership Mechanics – for Emerging New Leaders

Leadership Mechanics has been developed for the emerging new leader.  Its focus is on developing the primary skills required of a great leader such as: motivating, conflict resolution, uniting, building, developing, mentoring, communicating and retaining an elite team.  Leadership is the key to an organization reaching its goals. It is for these reasons Dialexis has developed Leadership Mechanics For The Emerging Leader. How often we have seen top performers thrown in a leadership role with any proper guidance. Therefore, Leadership Mechanics is applicable for those aspiring to improve the tactical aspects of managing/leading an operation.  The information has been derived from real world experiences and is presented through case studies, lectures, role play and open forum dialogue – “real world”!

Key Components

• Aspects of creating a breakthrough in production, recruiting and retention
• Increase levels of respect from those being directed

Next Level – Generating Employee Alignment

NEXT Level begins with strategic confidential research to determine the existing connection or lack of connection with Leadership’s vision.  This valuable information is confidentially used to coach the Executive Leadership Team in reconnecting and strengthening the organization. Dialexis provides a one-year path to re-connect employee commitments and re-set leadership’s operational strategy.  Prior experience has revealed an 87% disconnect between leaderships declared vision and the employee’s belief in that vision. The opportunity is surprising since initially most leaders would suggest “we are working well with each other”. As Edwards Deming suggested “we are often working hard at doing it wrong”. Alignment and understanding of where the organization is going takes on a new level of responsibility for everyone in the organization.

Key Components

• Transparency
• Effective communication to the employee base
• Intent vs. perception
• Authentic leadership
• Responsibility

Excellence in Leadership – A Transformational Experience

Leaders are those who envision, declare and create something unprecedented. An unprecedented result means a result no longer inspired by past interpretations, but rather inspired by forward possibilities.  In this program, participants discover fundamental distinctions regarding what it means to lead. They move from a desire to “manage” things into the domain of creating, regardless of the circumstances. Attendees will discover patterns that limit their professional performance through powerful exercises and explore the real choices they have by becoming aware of their prevailing interpretations. Participants will move from “it’s out of my control” to “I generate everything.” Previous attendees have learned to shift their results through new and powerful personal interpretations.
