The March 2024 Inbound Phone Sales Essentials Training course is designed as a short-duration course (3 hours) for employees who handle (or are about to handle) sales-related phone calls.

The premium sales skills training taught in this course is aligned with the Australian Customer Experience Professionals Association (ACXPA) Contact Centre Quality Standards that have been refined and optimised over three decades to identify the specific behaviours that influence sales results.

It’s also the same framework used to assess the sales performance of contact centres each month with the results published in the Australian Contact Centre Rankings.

Put simply, the course teaches premium call-handling sales skills that are proven to work for any product, service or industry, whether it’s in a contact centre environment or just answering the phone in your workplace (office, warehouse, etc).

It’s based on a sales-from-a-service paradigm that delivers high engagement with your customers (not hard, pushy tactics), resulting in happier customers and more business.

Sales Conversion, Sales Volumes, Customer Satisfaction, Net Promoter Score, Call Quality and Employee Engagement – however you measure your success, are all positively impacted as your employees learn to be more efficient and effective when customers contact your business looking for solutions to their needs.

Delivered over a single 3-hour session, we’ll teach your employees a structured yet natural approach (no scripts!) that encourages them to be themselves and build rapport with customers, delivering an immediate improvement in confidence for your employees and sales results for your business!

What your employees will learn:

The March 2024 Inbound Phone Sales Essentials training course is the perfect way to learn the essential phone sales call behaviours and consumer sales psychology required to deliver superior phone experiences and sales outcomes.

There’s plenty of role-playing and practice built in to ensure employees can put their new skills to work with the practice conducted in a safe, fun and welcoming online environment.

At the end of the course, trainees will be provided with a certificate of achievement and be empowered with skills that will stay with them for life!

The Inbound Phone Sales Essentials course includes six modules as outlined below.

1. Sales Psychology and Standards

A short exploration of what customers want and need to make confident buying decisions within a positive sales experience, based on decades of research.

Includes an introduction to the five core competencies of the Australian Customer Experience Professionals Association’s Contact Centre Quality Standards and how they enable more effective call handling and delivery of premium sales experiences.

2. How to Engage

Your employees will learn how to create a strong first impression and customer focus by showing strong ownership and intent and how to manage expectations to build trust as the foundation for open conversations around their needs.

3. How to Discover Needs

We’ll teach your employees (and practice!) the three critical discovery techniques (as used by the FBI) to more effectively converse, mirror and confirm customer needs and what they wish to achieve through your products and services.

4. How to Educate

Participants will learn how to proactively educate and inform customers with product, service & process information in a manner that makes it easy for them to make confident buying decisions in the moment.

5. How to Close

Employees will learn how to better control and transform the end of their calls to avoid those often awkward, clunky finishes through a simple method of strong final checks, expressions of gratitude and thanks in a warm farewell.

The three techniques for closing calls will be extensively practiced in rapid-fire simulations of the end of various call types in a range of contexts and situations to build greater confidence and expertise in call closing within the session.

6. Energy & Empathy

Most businesses put a lot of time and effort into teaching staff WHAT to say but few have the internal expertise to teach staff the best manner in HOW to say it.

In this fun and engaging module, we will help participants practice proven methods to enhance their vocal delivery with better tone, stronger voice projection and improved clarity.

All essential requirements to be effective in a phone-based sales role.

Course Workbook Included!

We jam a lot into the three hours of live training, so it’s good to know that your employees will also be provided with a workbook they can download after the course that will serve as a great reminder of the framework they’ve learned, as well as some handy phrases to use with customers!
