Z Corp enlists PBR Recession-Busting Sales Training Methods

BURLINGTON, MA | Feb 11, 2009 | Z Corporation enlisted Performance Based Results to re-energize their channel relationships to combat the current global economic downturn. Paul Cherry of PBR delivered a highly charged keynote session entitled, Selling-in-a-Tough-Economy focused on questioning techniques to help maintain Z Corp’s competitive edge.  Z Corp representatives made a point that PBR’s ability to customize its methodologies to their specific industry challenges was the key to the sessions’ success and rave reviews.

Key points addressed in the program included:

1. Selling products not the solution.
2. Asking superficial questions—not listening to what the customer is saying.
3. Being simply, an “order-taker”.
4. Not knowing how to ask, when to ask, or what specific questions to ask.
5. Prematurely pitching a solution when they should be emotionally engaging their customers.

Selling-in-a-Tough-Economy stressed incorporating “out of the box” sales questioning practices that give Z Corp channel partners …

• The tools to differentiate themselves in a commoditized market.
• The power to ask great power-probing questions.
• The ability to discover the customer’s true motivation to buy.
• The techniques to build stronger customer relationships.
• The competence to create a sense of security that only dealing with Z Corp can provide, especially in this trying market.
