Can you relate to any of the following scenarios?

 

THE PROBLEM

Tony had a salesperson that wasn’t closing.  He sent him to several sales training programs on closing techniques but, the problem remained.

 

THE SOLUTION

Tony found Howard Maslich and Specialized Training Services, they did an assessment and found that the salesman had a “need for approval” problem; he liked people too much and was oversensitive to rejection. We fixed that and then added some closing technique and Tony’s salesperson is now closing big deals for bigger margins.

 

THE PROBLEM

Chris had a salesperson that couldn’t get high enough margins. Chris tried incentives and then threats but, nothing worked.  Chris called STS and spoke with Howard Maslich.

 

THE SOLUTION

Howard did an assessment and learned that Leslie had a money tolerance problem which caused her to sell to low. STS fixed that underlying causative weakness and then coached Leslie with some techniques that sent her margins skyward.

 

THE PROBLEM

Peter’s salesperson, Joe, accepted put-offs and stalls too easily. His prospects always wanted to shop around and negotiate the price downward. After sending Joe to some expensive sales training programs, Peter was about to give up when he found STS on his search engine and invited Howard Maslich in to look at the problem

 

THE SOLUTION

Howard did a Sales Assessment for Joe and learned that Joe suffered from a non supportive buy cycle. This means that when Joe purchased stuff for himself, he always shopped around and tried to beat the salesperson down on price. Howard gave Joe some coaching and training to fix the real problem and then gave Joe some moves to counter the surface objections. The end result is Joe’s sales are up over 50%

 

Ready for a real change?

 

To be successful in sales you need a selling system, a sense of purpose and the objective guidance to correct and improve your performance. Periodically everyone runs into problems or burnout. To overcome obstacles you need to accept reality, and commit to making changes. The first step begins inside yourself when you acknowledge that change is necessary.

So what are your sales problems? Are Margins where they should be? Gross sales going where you want them to? Are your people complacent? Are they in a comfort zone?  Not proactive enough?  Is the pipeline empty or filled with low quality non qualified leads?  Closing ratio’s off the mark? Call STS and talk with Howard Maslich.  He will help you determine the real problem behind the incorrect sales behavior, and fix it once and for all!!!!

Evaluating Your Sales Force

  • If you have the right people to achieve your goals for growth.
  • Who is trainable.
  • The kind of help the trainable people require.
  • The impact of weaknesses, common to most of your sales people.
  • How to manage your people on a day to day basis
  • Which interviewing and hiring criteria needs to be changed in order to attract, identify and hire stronger sales people.
  • An action plan for each of your salespeople.
  • The potential for growth that each of your salespeople is capable of achieving.
  • If your managers are effectively growing, motivating, coaching and managing your sales people.
  • What, if anything, you need to change organizationally in order to achieve your growth goals.

 

The Sales Force Profile has been used to analyze hundreds of thousands of salespeople, in thousands of companies, in North America since 1989.  You can trust the results of our evaluation with confidence.  It highlights the areas for development that really matter for improved sales results.

 

What’s in Your Profile:

  • Details of major weakness within your sales force;
  • Specific Strengths and Weaknesses for each of your salespeople;
  • Growth potential for each person in 21 key selling areas;
  • Each person’s personal sales evaluation;
  • Key concepts, which are the foundation of our evaluation;
  • Contradictions between your priorities for the business and your manager’s;
  • Sales Management issues;
  • Areas identified where your salespeople are uncomfortable with your model for success.

 

The evaluation of your sales organization will help you determine how much more business could be closed and to learn why some of that business wasn’t generated in the past.  Whether your sell cycle is long or short you will find information that will help you close a larger percentage of opportunities.


 

Negotiation & Coaching Online

Over the last few years I have come to believe that what we do a lot of, in modern life, is negotiate. Certainly we do it if selling is our profession. But, what about the thousand and more interactions we find ourselves engaged in whenever we are buying or selling something?   Everybody negotiates all the time. As a matter of fact, the most dangerous negotiation is the one you are in without knowing that you are. The best part is that this program is an online, e-learning program. All you need is an internet connection. The program is interactive with me as your coach.  The program is a series of self-paced lessons followed by an application phase, consisting of debriefing your real world cases and then preparation for your next negotiation.

 

What others are saying:

 

“This negotiating system is a powerful set of disciplines and tools that will help you function in your customer’s world—which ultimately leads to a better negotiating process with prospects and customers”.

 

“This program offers easy-to-apply strategies to help make you a more effective negotiator.  You will learn techniques that you can use immediately to improve your negotiating skills.”

 

“This program is a sophisticated course in applied psychology that shows how you can change your behavior so you can sell your ideas, especially in sales situations and other negotiations. The most effective executives will find the results astonishing.”

Customer Testimonials:

 

Greater Rochester Advertiser, Peter Stahbrodt, President

“Howard’s training has made a big, big difference in our sales. I believe that salespeople need constant improvement of sales skills. I like working with Howard because we meet before each training session and discuss. Howard is flexible and covers what we agree are the current problems. Howard explains his approach really well, and he is a very good listener. In terms of tangible benefits since we have been working with Howard we have increased sales by over $9000 per week easily with our ten people. Without Howard’s training, I don’t know where we’d be!  We now sell bigger ads and bigger programs. The successful salespeople get it, and have embraced his system. Any business, anyone who sells, could use Howard’s systematic approach.”

 

Flanders Group, Chris McVicker, President

“We hired Howard initially because we needed a marketing and selling strategy for big real estate clients in NYC. We needed to grab attention in 30 seconds or less. Howard helped us achieve this goal and created monstrous changes in the level of confidence among our producers. His service was worth the price we paid as we experienced over 25% gains in sales which translated to over $1.25MM. We liked Howard’s use of role-play, he asks good questions, listens well and applies effective strategies that get the job done.”
