    Part 1:The Preparation shows why it is imperative for salespeople to get to know their customers and to understand how their products or services can benefit their client.

    Part 3: Difficult Customers deals with the duckers, ditherers and dictators that often stand in the way of progress. How to use people's anxieties, laziness or vanity are some of the suggested techniques to help get things moving.

    Finally, it's time to close the deal in Part 4: Closing The Sale This is an area where even skilled salespeople fear rejection - and so delay closing. They will find out how to conclude a deal efficiently and effectively.

    This invaluable programme utilises proven techniques to underpin messages and sets out all the key sales fundamentals.
