    1 Buying Decision Making Unit (18 minutes)

    In a sale, there may be many people involved, and they may have different "roles". This eSeminar investigates the roles that exist in a Buying Process, and demonstrates that each role player has different needs - which you must be aware of, and meet. Through a series of audio-enabled slides, an interactive section, and an exercise, 4 main roles are explored. We discuss their traits, what's important to them, how to identify them, and we end with a short discussion on influence levels.

This eSeminar will help you understand that Closing starts at the beginning of the sales process and continues through it by using Qualification techniques.

The eSeminar will propose some closing "techniques", suggesting that these should always be part of the much larger proposition that Closing starts early on.
