Consultative Sales Training
The Best Consultative Selling Strategies
Consultative Sales Training
Customers have changed, but most reps haven't. More are failing to hit their numbers because the conventional approach sabotages our ability to sell. ASLAN's Consultative Sales Training can help your field and inside sales reps get more meetings, fill their pipeline, close more business, and grow their accounts.
Today's buyers are savvy. Sellers are no longer seen as a necessary path to evaluating solutions as revealed in a recent study by Mcksinsey on B2B selling. The percentages of buyers who desire to work with a seller to evaluate solutions had dropped by 120% for the last three years...
This explains why most decision makers will not meet with a sales rep. They don’t need a tour guide, a Vanna White with a briefcase, or a relationship, they need a sales consultant.
Consultative Selling Defined
Consultative selling isn’t about selling solutions it’s about providing a better way to solve problems. The solution is just a by product of helping the customer reach their desired destination. Consultative selling isn’t about features or benefits or closing techniques it’s defined by sellers who provide a better way to solve the customer’s problems and the unique skills to change beliefs about the best path forward.
Why it Works
When consultative selling is no longer just a buzz word or the latest trend within your organization but a reality, the whole dynamic of the buyer seller relationship changes. Instead of reps grovelling for meetings or presentations met with skepticism, sellers earn a seat at the table. Deal size grows, sales cycles shorten, and your reps are more engaged.
To help organizations make this shift, our consultative selling program focuses on four areas:

What’s So Special About ASLAN’s Consultative Selling Program?
25 Years of Research
ASLAN has spent thousands of hours building a program to address the unique challenges of getting more meetings. Through research and field testing our secret sauce in over 35 countries with 50,000+ sellers, we developed a program that helps sellers win more opportunities and increase customer loyalty.
We Deliver Transformation not Training
Transformation requires support at every level. Sellers need a new mindset, an account development process, new skills and strategies, and the tools needed to execute in the field.
Front line leaders must be equipped to lead the change process and learn to lead manage, and coach. And senior leaders need to lead, measure, and drive the sustainment process.
Whether you have 20,000 sales reps or 5. This is our approach.
Not Just Concepts but Practical Tools
The last thing you need is a conceptual program. Your sellers need to know what to do. They need to know how to write an email, position your solution, follow your process, and qualify prospects. Sellers need much more than a new philosophy, they need to know what to do and how to do it.
Unique is standard.
Your organization is unique. The challenges your reps face are unique. Your solution is unique. Therefore, you need one of our custom sales training programs. It’s part of our standard process to ensure every program is 100% relevant to every participant.
