DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAM
In a hard-working, shirt-sleeve, adult-education environment, participants devote the large percentage of conference time to working on their own cases.
The System for Selling Effectiveness is designed as a three-phase program:
1) To achieve measurable sales results, participants are asked to identify and bring to conference four challenging situations or target accounts.
2) The study and practice of SAI Methods, based on these real and current cases, requires from three to five days.
3) The strategies developed are tried upon return to the job. Successes encourage repetition of the process; new habits and disciplines become ingrained.
Continuing application of the system is assured by management involvement in all of these phases. Several refresher programs, based on letter writing,proposal writing, advanced problem solving and effective presentation, are also available.
The program's acceptance and continued use are due to SAl's unique analytical methods. They give salespeople practical, easy to use tools for pre-presentation planning and communicating that serve them the balance of their careers. Even the most experienced enthusiastically recommend the system because it works.
