Set your sales team apart by giving them the tools they need to be the best.

Sales Skills (Questioning, Listening, Feedback, Objections, etc.)

Coaching In Action:
Many people will admit to going to a class and learning some great new behaviors, but then struggle to implement them in “real life”. Coaching in Action gives you a personal coach back in the field observing and coaching you while you try the new behaviors.
Let’s say you’ve learned a new way to conduct a meeting. We could attend your next meeting as an observer and take notes on how you utilize the new behaviors you learned about facilitating more effective meetings. Then we’ll provide specific, behavior-based feedback following the meeting. Another way is to have us listen by teleconference. Either way, you end up with real life, real time feedback on what you’re doing well, and ideas to increase effectiveness even further.
“Style” Selling & “Style” Management:
Ever wondered why you just seem to click with some people and are at odds with others? You need to understand what your Behavioral Style is! “Style Selling” and “Style Management” may be the courses for you.
Learn what your personal behavioral style is, and then determine the styles of the people you interact with on a regular basis. Whether you’re working with clients or employees, you’ll learn specific, easy techniques to improve communication, effectiveness, and therefore productivity.
The process is easy. Take a 7-minute test and answer 25 questions. This proven, scientific program, which dates back to 1926 will analyze your responses and provide a detailed report on your unique style and areas of strength and development.
As Certified Professional Behavioral Analysts, Kathleen and team will help you develop strategies and goals based on your style to improve every interaction in your professional and personal life.
Customized Curriculum Development / Instructional Design:
A large percentage of our business is developing and implementing customized curriculum to meet the distinctive needs of different teams. Whether you’re looking for a full-blown session covering several topics, a series of workshops that are facilitated over a period of weeks, or a one-time tactical training course addressing your biggest gap, we have the flexibility to make it happen. We’ll work closely with you and your team to incorporate your culture and language, and ensure that participants know it was written just for them and their unique situations.
“Sales tripled and morale is the highest I’ve ever seen it since our team went through one of the KDA and Associates courses.”
