Sales Teams : Sales Excellence Series 1 Course
In the first of our Sales Team courses, we share what great looks like and what top sales professionals do differently. Your team will develop a set of skills and tools to drive more sales, higher order values, increased win rates and shorter sales cycles
Module 1: Sales Excellence – Series 1 Benchmark
Overview
The biggest mistake a salesperson can make is to look at everything from just their own perspective.
By stepping into the shoes of the client, we can adapt our approach to make it easy for clients to buy. In this launch to the Sales Excellence Series 1 course, we help teams create a set of easy-to-implement approaches to drive more sales by analysing what top sales professionals do differently.

Module 2: Introductions: Connecting with buyers
Overview
It’s tougher than ever before for clients to say ‘yes’ to a new meeting. They’re being bombarded by sales reps who are all saying they have the biggest, best, most innovative solutions. For them, everything sounds the same, and everything could be a waste of precious time. Standout introductions are a crucial part of the sales process. The strongest reps are selling the value of the connection itself with messages that cut through the noise.

Module 3: Questioning: Leading a stand-out discovery
Overview
Clients care about themselves, the challenges they face and the outcomes they need to achieve. For them, these things will always be more important than what you’re selling. Today’s best salespeople lead powerful discussions focused on the client’s role, business needs and challenges. Then they ensure that any opportunity is properly qualified before confirming the next step.

Module 4: Positioning your solution: Recommending with confidence
Overview
86% of B2B clients don’t see a big enough difference between solutions to pay more for one. For them, solutions all sound the same and that makes it hard for them to choose. A great pitch needs to be 100% focused on the prospect and make it easy for them to choose your brand and solution.

Case Study – Health iQ
CHALLENGE
As a business we are seeing an increase in sales cycle length due to more involved and robust decision- making processes undertaken by our clients This includes a significant increase in the number of decision makers required to sign off a single deal. This leads not only to deals taking longer to close, but also deals getting lost during our client’s internal decision making process which we have little control over.”
RESULT
We have seen real results very quickly and by using the ‘speeding up decision-making’ framework given by Flume we were able to close a £225,000 deal that I believe we may have otherwise lost.
