IT and Telecoms

Sales, account development, customer service and leadership training for IT and Telecoms companies.

 


IT & Telecoms Challenges

There are special challenges when it comes to selling IT and Telecoms: end-users often don't understand and don't want to understand the inner workings of the technical solutions and clients are not infrequently large, complex organisations with competing internal interests.  The traditional selling approach no longer works effectively in these markets. Selling, like the technical offerings, has got much more complicated.

 

Our sales training helps:

  • Eliminate discounting and so increase average order sizes, typically by more than 10%
  • Significantly reduce the length of the sales cycle
  • Shrink over-blown sales pipelines and increase forecasting accuracy
  • Increase the percentage of bids won

 

Our management training provides techniques and strategies to:

Sandler Works in IT & Telecommunications!

We have served sales, leadership, and customer service professionals around the world for over 50 years, developing specialised programs and publishing books for the industry.

We help IT & Telecom organisations:

  • Find more ideal clients and start no-pressure conversations.
  • Build trust through an open, honest exchange of information.
  • Negotiate win-win deals with mutual respect and equal business stature.
  • Meet and exceed sales and profitability goals.

We have used the Sandler sales methodology for 15 months starting with a 2 day overview followed up by bi-monthly focus sessions to ensure that key lesson/topics are reinforced and embedded across the sales teams. Sandler has given us a common language to discuss sales pipeline, qualify opportunities in or out and to either lose quickly or win in the best available manner. Over the 15 month period we have halved our sales pipeline yet continued to grow sales revenue by 20% year on year. With less pipeline we have focused on really selling to those customers who will buy which enables us to continue to sell more. In recent months we have continued to rebuild our sales pipeline and we are now seeing a 30% increase in sales revenue over the last quarter, I expect this to continue to grow.
