Intentionally Surpass Customer Expectations

Objectives

Build and maintain positive working relationships with customers.
Increase awareness of how to meet customer expectations.
Differentiate your company from your competitors.

Course Synopsis

This customized program begins with an eleven-minute video about the different Customer Buying Styles. Attendees learn to identify and meet customer expectations, helping to generate more business and deliver better service.

Customers have different expectations. If treated the same, opportunities to move the process forward will be missed. This easy-to-use method, introduced in the video, teaches time-proven skills for recognizing these expectations and building positive relationships.

After viewing the video, participants make or receive four telephone calls relating to their products and services. Sales Concepts instructors portray their customers as defined and structured by the participant's managers. Feedback is given upon completion of each call. Improvements are noted after each call.

Participants gain a better understanding of themselves, how to work with others in various situations, and how relationships affect the perception of value.
