     Bridging the Gap from Technical Expert to Sales Consultant

Your technical expert is your key to success. They can differentiate your products and services from your competition. They have credibility. They are sought after for their advice. They have the perfect opportunity to make a sale.

This program is about improving the communication skills of your technical experts; improving their listening skills, their questioning skills, their presentation skills, and their negotiation skills. The program provides them insights into using their technical expertise to their advantage by guiding the interaction and strategizing with the customer or prospect to best solve the problem.  

You can add powerful communication skills to their abilities: This program will show them how.

They'll learn ways to...
• Determine whether a technical request is legitimate or just positioning  
• Ask questions that lead the customer to decisions quickly and efficiently
