In 2018, SALES TRAINING might be your best bet.

By Brett Lloyd Abbott, Pool Builder Marketing LLC

Last week, I mentioned that “salesmanship” may be one of the biggest challenges / opportunities for pool builders this year, now that the downturn is over, and the “faucet” is back on. With more leads coming in, many builders are looking for new salespeople – including YOURS. That’s why I believe you will want to (1) get the most out of every salesperson you’ve got, and (2) QUICKLY get any NEW salespeople up to speed, to help handle the additional load.

If you think your salespeople need help,
this message is for you.

That’s why I am officially announcing our On-line and In-Person Sales Training programs, for pool designers and sales reps all over the world. Here are some of the basic sales skills we cover:

  1. How to talk to prospects on the phone.
  2. How to interact with prospects face-to-face.
  3. How to talk about money.
  4. How to avoid the price fight.
  5. How to properly use your sales tools.
  6. How to deal with prospects who “disappear.”
  7. How to sell more than you ever thought possible.
  8. How to become the designer homeowners prefer to do business with.
  9. How to maintain control of the designer/prospect relationship, from start to finish.
  10. How to “Win the prospect’s hearts and minds at Hello.”

We also get into some more advance sales training, including such subjects as:

  • Commercial sales strategies.
  • How to work with homebuilders & architects.
  • How to “Seriously Kick Butt at a Home Show.”
  • How to elegantly “Maximize Your Referrals, without Begging or Bribing.”

We have several different options for sales training, depending on where you are and what you need.

  • One-hour online training – $495 per session.
  • Half-day (3 hours training and 1 hour travel) – $795. Applies to any location in or near our headquarters in Austin Texas.
  • One full day (half-day training and half-day travel) – $1495 plus travel expenses. Applies to any location outside of greater Austin Texas.
  • Multi-day / overnight – Pricing is based on multiple full-day and/or half-day charges as appropriate, plus any travel expenses.

In all cases, the pricing is based on the session(s), not the number of students. An unlimited number of students may attend any particular session.
