Strategic Selling Simulation
Act strategically to expand and broaden sales relationships


Audience
Experienced sales professionals.

Program Benefits
Strategic Selling Simulation, from Porter Henry & Company, gives experienced sales professionals a practical, tactical approach for strategically penetrating accounts, expanding access, and building relationships at multiple levels. This highly participative workshop provides a unique dual application concept: the practice of skills and strategies on both simulated and real-world accounts. After Strategic Selling Simulation, your sales professionals will be able to:
  • better analyze accounts for opportunities
  • effectively use three sales success strategies: Value-Driven Strategy, Strategic Multi-Level Selling, Winning Group Presentations
  • implement a strategic action plan for expanding account relationships at multiple levels and improving sales results


Program Description
Strategic Selling Simulation is a two-day workshop composed of five major modules. A pre-workshop assignment (reading and a real-life sales opportunity profile) helps participants identify and profile high-potential accounts. The workshop employs customized role-plays, a customized master case study, and extensive simulation and team exercises. Participants complete action planning exercises, presentations, and feedback sessions. They receive extensive tools for executing a variety of account strategies, and apply new learning back to their own customer situations. The workshop modules are:
