TILT! Selling
TILT! Selling was devised as a sales process specifically designed to cater for the changed consumer behaviour triggered by internet access and exacerbated by the global financial crisis. This has resulted in the sales cycles and buying cycles becoming separated. “Now the buy cycle is well under way before the buyer even realises there is a cycle” (Trailer & Dickie, Harvard Business Review). Customers are able to progress further in the buying process without interacting with a salesperson – allowing them to only involve the salesperson at the final stages. Thus, the salesperson is reduced to ‘commodity selling’ (selling on price alone). The TILT! method addresses this by taking the client back through the process to allow the salesperson to identify their buying criteria and to become a trusted buying adviser. The TILT! method also provides strategies to assist clients in their decision-making process – acknowledging that choosing to buy is a business decision complicated by the systems and competing interests that exist within that business.

Participants will learn:

  • How to assist staff in building stronger client relationships faster than the competition.
  • How to structure the process of the client interaction to achieve more specific outcomes
  • How to create exceptional leverage that will move the client towards an informed buying decision
  • How to identify and apply factors to trigger client’s decision-making process
