    The Negotiation Sourcebook, 2nd Edition

    The Negotiation Sourcebook, Second Edition focuses on the needs of active negotiators&emdash;those people asked daily to negotiate with vendors, government officials, and others. The articles cover a cross section of these negotiations and will help to fill in the gaps for those situations that your negotiators may have only limited experience in addressing. There are also a number of articles that provide a theoretical framework for the process, since more than technique is needed to be an effective negotiator. Because we do not negotiate in a vacuum but within the context of a relationship, each of these articles leans towards the problem-solving or collaborative approach. Unfortunately, not everyone readily accepts this model.

    Ask for the Order - DVD /Video Combo

    Do you remember the old parable: "Give them a fish and they'll eat for a day, teach them how to fish and they'll eat for a lifetime" Well, closing the sale is the same thing. Teach them (your salespeople) the skill of how to improve their closing of sales and you give them and your organization a gift for a lifetime- consistently much higher sales. That's the gift that keeps on giving to everyone.

    Research has clearly shown that if you don't ASK FOR THE ORDER, your probability of Closing is less than 20%.

    That's why LearnCom and noted sales trainers Arthur R. Bauer and Gerald L. Manning have teamed up to produce this brand new high powered video-based sales training course entitled ASK FOR THE ORDER!

    With 11 realistic vignettes in diverse business settings with 43 different actors, the video brings its message to everyone in sales: rookies, veterans, field sales and telemarketing reps. Expert commentary by Art Bauer supplements the demonstrations of right way/wrong way closing techniques and the illustrations of selling skills for objections, buying signals, and closing questions.

    Through the Customer's Eyes - DVD

    Free Online Preview

    If looks could kill demonstrates how thoughtless behaviour can create a dissatisfied customer. Its sequel, Through the customer's eyes, takes a different stance. In this amusing story with a sting in the tail, we see that how we believe we are behaving is not necessarily how the customer sees it.

    Mrs Porter (Marion Bailey) has reached the end of her tether. Her mounting frustration while shopping in Starmore's department store has driven her to the edge. Inspector Thackeray (Jeremy Clyde) from the Customer Services Squad arrives to investigate her claims of rude behaviour and poor service on the part of a number of the store's sales assistants.

    He retraces Mrs Porter's movements and uncovers a number of cases where she was ignored, forgotten or treated badly by staff. For example, she was left waiting while they did other jobs or discussed business with other employees.

    Inspector Thackeray then shows how positively Mrs Porter would have reacted had she received the service she expected.

    The staff of Starmore's learn to acknowledge waiting customers and apologise for any delay in serving them; understand that non-selling work comes second to serving customers; and discover when to call in a manager to resolve a problem. Finally they learn always to respect the customer's purchase.

    When sales staff offer the service that a customer expects, everyone benefits. Friendly behaviour sells. It also creates the perfect environment for selling accessories and services.

    The benefits

    • Sales staff will understand what effect their behaviour can have on customers
    • They will realise how attentive and friendly service really sells
    • This will improve the results for your organisation in terms of customer satisfaction and sales
