Course Synopsis
This class helps salespeople win capital-intensive, big-ticket orders at the executive level. The user and technical influences often cannot purchase capital-intensive products or services. The decision is usually made at the executive level by the economic buyer and/or a buying committee. Decisions are made via financial justification models such as cash flow, payback, return on investment, life cycle returns, cost of ownership, etc. Attendees are introduced to financial concepts and how to use them uniquely to justify their products and services.
Two simulated customer encounters result in constructive personal feedback.
