Non-Aggressive Consultative Selling – NACS™
NACS develops the sellers’ skills so as to discover and understand the customer’s needs in order to build a non-aggressive sales process.
This is the training which helps the participants acquire basic knowledge required for a sales professional: the customer’s needs, the steps of a sales call, listening, questions, objectives, etc.
In addition to discovering the overall principles governing the purchasing decision of a customer, the training also offers the opportunity to integrate the new notions in real life, by simulations and applications.
Key messages
- Selling is an interpersonal process: it is not a company which buys or sells, but it is you who sell and the person in front of you who buys;
- A correct opening is more than just small talk: it prepares the customer for the entire discussion;
- All purchasing decisions are based on needs;
- Before providing a solution a good salesperson correctly and fully understands the customer’s needs;
- Only by questioning and listening can the salesperson discover the customer’s problems and desires;
- A good salesperson increases the customer’s perception of the problem and of the wish;
- The benefit – the response to a wish expressed by the customer – is the strongest behavior in sales;
- The solution provided otherwise than in terms of benefits and at the proper moment generates objections;
- Objections are not a gift from the customer. It is better to avoid the traps than to learn how to come out of them;
- The sales call must end with a realistic commitment from the customer;
