Executive Level Selling Training Program

Develop Strong Relationships with Executive-Level Buyers

When salespeople gain a meeting with an executive-level buyer, it’s a precious opportunity. They must be prepared to create value for buyers during these valuable opportunities. This means doing more than rehashing product specs and prices that may resonate with procurement-level buyers, but that fail to hit the mark with executives.

Successful executive-level selling requires sellers to understanding their buyer and the competencies necessary for a successful conversation.

Executive-Level Selling is a methodology designed to help sales professionals gain access to high-ranking decision makers and develop lasting trust and credibility with them. For almost any significant sales opportunity, sellers must be able to gain access to decision-makers with high authority and influence in a buying organization.

Executive-Level Selling provides methods and skills for planning the best ways to identify the right executive-level contacts to target, securing access to them, conducting useful and valuable strategic-level conversations with them, and earning return access for future contact. Executive-Level Selling shows sellers how to develop stronger relationships with executive-level buyers.

Executive-Level Selling focuses on helping sellers to develop four essential skills for executive-level selling, each with their own set of useful methods and planning tools.
