Sprint Dialogues Training

Sprint Dialogues Training Program Overview

Richardson Sales Performance’s Sprint Dialogues Program focuses on the critical structure of a sales conversation or customer meeting and provides a powerful roadmap for a successful, buyer-focused dialogue. The Sprint Dialogues Framework provides salespeople with a consistent, repeatable process to more effectively execute their sales conversations.

The Six Critical Skills fuel and support the Framework, empowering salespeople to leverage their technical excellence and use every sales skill available to open more doors, better understand customer needs, more persuasively articulate value, and close more deals.

Sprint Dialogues Framework

The Sprint Dialogues framework consists of two foundational elements, selling sprints and the six critical skills.

Selling Sprints

A sprint is a burst activity that revolves around the key moments of conversation with the customer. Each sprint should result in a mini close.

Six Critical Skills

The moment of truth is in the dialogue. The Six Critical Skills are the observable behaviors that support a sales dialogue.

Sales Performance Platform Example: Resolving Sales Objections Video

One of the skills taught in the Sprint Dialogues training program is resolving objections. In this program, your sellers learn that customer objections are actually opportunities to gain insight into their deeper thinking. We teach your team to turn an objection into an opportunity by equipping them with skills that empower them to use questions to dig into the details of the objection, develop a deeper understanding of the customer's needs, and build trust - to ultimately improve their positioning message.

The video below is from a training module from the Sprint Dialogues training program in our sales performance platform, Accelerate. It demonstrates common mistakes sales professionals make after a customer raises an objection.
