Take our NEW Diagnostic Assessments to see what might be negatively impacting your results…
Our research shows that engineers (technical professionals, engineering sales teams) approach customer interactions and selling situations the way they approach a technical problem.
And that’s not good!
Technical professionals and engineering sales teams tend to:
• Overanalyze and lack timely decisions (analysis paralysis)
• Make assumptions
• Don’t seek clarification
• Focus on the solution, not the problem that they’re trying to solve
• Seek perfection, which is seldom attainable
• Don’t seek to create relationships
• Overanalyze and lack timely decisions (analysis paralysis)
• Make assumptions
• Don’t seek clarification
• Focus on the solution, not the problem that they’re trying to solve
• Seek perfection, which is seldom attainable
• Don’t seek to create relationships
These tendencies create problems that can be avoided.

We help technical professionals
…qualify sales opportunities better, so they’re not wasting resources chasing low probabilities (but what might be exciting technical challenges!)
…deal with their affinity for solving problems which often results in giving a lot of “unpaid consulting” in the hope that business will follow (or the customer will “like” them)
…sell and compete on value and solutions as opposed to technical features, benefits and price
…build more effective relationships to facilitate rapport (trust, comfort level, etc.)
…manage the “soft” issues (people, relationships, politics, etc.) that can trump the best technical solution
…deliver concise and focused messages (“Tell it in 10 slides, not 40!)
…follow a selling/persuasion process that delivers consistent results
…solicit better commitments from colleagues and customers so the business decision cycle doesn’t drag out

“If you take only one course in the next 10 years, make sure it is this one!”
“This course was so good that I’ve been to it twice-and I brought it in-house at Phillips for my colleagues to attend. It’s a must for us to remain competitive in today’s tough market!”
“The selling and communication tools are right on target and really work to improve results. Even seasoned sales professionals will improve their close ratio.”
“This is a great course for sales and non-sales people. It addresses everyday business issues and how to handle them more effectively.”
We equip technical professionals with best practice strategies, methodologies, tactics and skills that are needed to effectively communicate, sell, negotiate and develop successful projects and business with external customers as well as internal customers and colleagues. We find that most customer and business development problems arise not from lack of technical knowledge, but from lack of “soft skills” training.
