CPD WEBINAR : Closing the deal - objection handling and closing [75-minute session]

  • Thu 17 Oct 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm

In the same way that many salespeople experience ‘call reluctance’, many others fail to ask for the business, or to have appropriate strategies to deal with objections when they do. This session explores how the work you do earlier in the process can make it easier for yourself by minimising objections and creating an ‘easier close’. We then explore how to handle objections when they do arise, and how to help secure the final close.
