Sales Communication Skills Workshops

Communicating with others… it should be easy.

Ask questions, listen to the answers, make observations.  Simple.  But it’s so simple and obvious that it can be very challenging.  Communicating effectively with others requires work and attention.

I pay attention when I’m speaking with others, but if I’m not careful the messages and meanings can get lost.  Does this ever happen to you?   You’re trying your best, but somehow, the communication isn’t working.

My goal is to help you communicate clearly and effectively with your co-workers, customers and prospects.

WORKSHOPS

  • listening to your customer’s tone of voice and body language
  • using paraphrasing, not parrot-phrasing to show you’re listening
