Richardson’s High-Stakes Consultative Dialogues Program
Richardson’s High-Stakes Consultative Dialogues programme is a collection of dialogue models that apply an advanced consultative approach, skills, and techniques to engage in higher-stakes dialogues needed to advance alignment, drive momentum, and win deals.
As customers progress through the buying journey, they are continually integrating more information and people into the process, refining their thinking, and aligning on how to proceed. This programme provides guidance on how sales professionals can help the customer to align in each stage of the journey around the decision to buy and the decision to buy from you.
The program will teach your team to:
- Assert their perspective by developing and sharing a clear and compelling point of view message in a way that creates openness and receptivity on the part of the customer to see a new or different perspective
- Raise risk to preempt late stage concerns and address stalls or delays
- Uncover and address critical areas of stakeholder misalignment needed to reach agreement on the right course of action
- Move beyond their comfort zone and gain a current contact’s agreement to arrange a meeting with a senior-level decision maker
Check out a short video where Richardson’s experts outline the three essential capabilities for winning a high-stakes sale.
