Sales Support Consulting Skills
Many individuals outside of the sales function are critical to supporting customers and to the success of sales efforts. Whether technical experts, service technicians, or project managers, consultative skills are vital. They must uncover the client's real needs and interests; build strong, trusting relationships with external or internal clients; and present recommendations, facilitate decision making, and support client satisfaction with the accepted recommendation. They need to be an extension of sales, supporting solution development throughout the implementation and support process.
