December 2024 Inbound Phone Sales Essentials Course

The training provided manages to take complex sales strategies and make them easy to understand and implement in a sales call.

It provides a structure that isn’t stifled by wordy scripts and pitches, and guides consultants towards a successful outcome for both the customer and consultant.

This training took efficient, tried and tested sales concepts and expanded on them to not only generate higher conversion, but a more positive customer experience.

Aside from the training, which was amazing, Simon – the trainer – was a pleasure to work with. He was attentive and showed a real passion and desire to enhance the trainee’s sales expertise.

Thank you so much for your time today. It was an absolute pleasure to learn the Five Degrees telephone sales method from you. I have since gone over all of the content you have sent through. Some fantastic information, material and examples in there. Thanks for making yourself available to assist me on this journey

Hi Simon, hope you are doing fine. I have moved out of and have since joined a new organisation but I wanted to tell you that the learning and insights from your sales training sessions are still really helping me in my day-to-day life. Also, I can actually implement the learnings here as well in my new role. I can not thank you enough for this!

I feel that we are, as a business, we are in a better position than we were “BS” (Before Simon). Staff have a great foundation in appreciating the value and art of a buying process and sales conversation.

Thanks for your guiding hand and sharing your passion for the member experience with us. I for one, and I know many more, really do see the value in your process.

Overall everyone appears to be amazed by the engagement of staff with the Five Degrees method and their willingness to change. It’s amazing to listen to the difference in our calls to see how far we have come and what staff have achieved in the past 3 months.

If you want to improve your sales team’s performance and build an engaging, supportive coaching environment, 5 Degrees will get you there.

Simons insights will motivate and guide your leaders and sales teams with structured practical processes that can be adapted to any sales or service organisation. It’s a brilliant and motivating model where mediocrity is challenged and opportunities created. It works!

OMG … Can I just say that I managed to use the 5 Degrees Sales conversation strategy from our training yesterday as an approach for a potentially difficult staff conversation, with HR attending & a support person for the staff member.

I blew them out of the water with such a relaxed, amiable and well-rounded meeting that was positive and productive! Using the 5 Degrees approach really provided the framework for me to make the meeting easy and to manage and lead to such great outcomes.

Thanks Simon, I really don’t think it would have gone so smoothly without the 5 Degrees sales experience you taught us being used in this way!

Hi Simon, thanks again for your support. Clearly, the 5 Degrees program is working! To illustrate how strong the performance has been, as at the end of January:

– Overall we’re 9% above budget in new premium sales for the first 7 months

– The call centre team are an amazing 17% above budget financial year to date

– Year to date sales compared to the same period last year are 13% up

– We have achieved 17% more in premium sales this January than the previous one

In addition, the continued improvement in our customer experience using the Five Degrees sales model is clear evidence that the quality and outcomes of those interactions are an extremely positive one.

I recently completed a 3-part training course with Simon (Reception PRO). It was incredibly helpful and practical, significantly enhancing my communication and writing skills. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their communication abilities.

Simon was an engaging trainer, making sure we were all following up with his pace.

He was able to set examples and delivered a presentation with all the details we needed.

Thank you Simon for your passion and great work!

The presentation by Simon was excellent. Simon is a very enthusiastic presenter who presented the information content very well. I learned some valuable insights into customer service and techniques with engaging people. Well done 🙂

I would like to say that Simon Blair from CX Skills has exceeded my expectations in providing the training in 3 sessions. The training content was apt and is helping me with my interactions on day-to-day basis. The ease with which Simon trained us is exceptional.

Highly recommend Simon, his extensive knowledge and experience makes for really engaging and fun training sessions. He has an absolute passion seeing people excel at phone and sales skills. Highly recommend! Thanks again, Chris.

I appreciate your time Simon, I have learned a lot and had fun in the process 🙂

Thanks for the training Simon, it was very informative and enjoyable!

Simon was a very helpful coach who took great care in providing me with an enhanced understanding of customer service. The methods he taught me were followed by roleplay scenarios and the psychology involved. I greatly benefited overall as he gave me personalised application catered towards my job, with an in-depth reflection of previous difficult calls I received. Was both informative and fun. Would highly recommend.

I would highly recommend Simon Blair to anyone looking to enhance their customer service skills.

He presented the material in a clear and engaging way, making it easy to understand and keeping everyone involved.

The session was overall fun and informative, thanks to Simon’s excellent teaching style.

Many aspects of daily communication that we may use, or may never have experienced are broken down into usable and repeatable key points.

It’s been one week since the course and I have already found a notable difference in the manner clients respond to my attempts at communicating, after implementing skills discussed in the course.
