THE INSIDE SALES AGENT ©
LEAD QUALIFICATION AND SMALL BUSINESS SALE
INSIDE SALES AGENTS © are skilled multi-talents who are both the point of contact for existing clients as well as for potential new customers. Accordingly they are responsible for qualifying initial new contacts and at the same time for handling the regular small business with clients through a standard TRANSACTIONAL SALE. This requires conducting diagnostic interviews, product-based sales calls and price discussions as well as leveraging up- and cross-selling potentials. To be successful, you need a well trained sales approach and real sales skills!
With the use of the new conversational skills, which are specifically tailored to the expectations of today’s customers, you will be able to master the different styles of conversations in telesales and steadily increase your deal rate.
