Sales Call relluctance assessment and training

Sales Call Reluctance Assessment and Training

Sales Call Reluctance (SCR) is the inhibition to initiate contact with prospective buyers in sufficient numbers. It is the most frequently cited reason for poor production and retention in sales.
One area in which the influence of SCR can be seen and quantified is in revenue production. Salespeople must initiate contact with prospective buyers (sales prospecting) on a consistent daily basis before any other personal or professional assets, virtues, skills, or abilities can be applied.
SPG*GoldT is a world-class testing and assessment methodology that is driven by software and is designed to measure Sales Call Reluctance. It was developed by a team of behavioural scientists who spent almost three decades researching the phenomenon, its causes, and how to overcome it. The program's evaluation and follow-up programs are proven corrective measures designed to increase your salespeople's prospecting effectiveness and - most importantly - your sales revenue.

The Importance of Managing Visibility

Natural self-promoters, like Anthony Robbins and Dennis Rodman, instinctively exploit opportunities to make themselves visible. For most of us, however, visibility management triggers an emotional struggle between our desire to make our competence visible, and our reticence to appear too forward or immodest. Yet in today's hotly competitive sales environment, it's not enough to be good at what you do, earning what you're worth takes more. You have to practice "visibility management," letting people know who you are and what you do well. Managing visibility is an integral component of modern career management.
