It provides an effective framework and specific techniques for helping people to improve their interpersonal selling skills.

6 [IMPROVING SALES EFFECTIVENESS WITH VERSATILITY SESSION: TWO-HOUR VERSION] Visual # 1 ISEV Concepts Pages 1, 2 & 3 Introduction Why is it Important to Learn About SOCIAL STYLE and Versatility? This guide is designed to teach you about SOCIAL STYLE and Versatility concepts and how they can help you develop skills to become a more effective salesperson. By applying the SOCIAL STYLE and Versatility concepts in this guide, you can develop better relationships with your customers and get more done, faster, with less effort. Plus, your customers will most likely increase their levels of support and respect for you. Simply stated, here s how it works. You have preferred ways to act and interact with your customers. For example, when you begin the sales process you may prefer to move fast, gather just the necessary facts, contact people, and get things going right away; or, you may prefer to take things slower as you sort out the details, consider alternatives, and contemplate the consequences of taking one course of action versus another. These behavioral preferences and patterns of behavior are a part of your SOCIAL STYLE. Your customers also have their own behavioral preferences or SOCIAL STYLE. As you know from past interactions their SOCIAL STYLE can be quite different than your own. How effective you are with your customers depends on how you take their preferences into account, and how well you control your own. Your impact and effectiveness on your customers is a result of another key concept, Versatility Commitment refers to any significant decision you ask a customer to make, such as making a decision to purchase the product or service you sell, or entering into an agreement with you or your organization.

When with Versatility, is how you increase you focus the on meeting others needs over interpersonal effectiveness and your productivity own, positive interpersonal relationships between you and your customers develop and how that provide opportunities for you to you earn their support and respect. offer solutions and solve problems. Improving Sales Effectiveness with Versatility can also help you effectively plan and prepare for customer interactions, approach customers and analyze their needs, present results, handle objections and gain their commitment. 1 You can learn to resolve, or even head off, unnecessary conflict caused by interpersonal friction that may arise during the give-and-take of the sales process. Identifying the SOCIAL STYLE of your Customers Sales Survey A TRACOM study surveyed recent SOCIAL STYLE training participants, who worked in sales, to determine how effective SOCIAL STYLE had been in their daily sales activities. The survey questions focused on tasks specific to salespeople including developing relationships with customers, gaining customer trust, and closing sales. Because the sales profession relies heavily on solid relationships, TRACOM wanted to research how SOCIAL STYLE training could contribute to better relationships and, ultimately, more sales. key findings* Summary of Findings TRACOM s study found that SOCIAL STYLE training could dramatically impact a salesperson s ability to create more positive relationships with current and potential customers. A majority of the surveyed salespeople felt that SOCIAL STYLE training helped them establish better relationships and gain trust with customers and prospects. Over half of the survey participants felt that as a direct result of SOCIAL STYLE training, they were able to close sales they otherwise might not have. The chart below illustrates the key findings. EFFECTIVENESS OF SOCIAL STYLE FOR SALESPEOPLE percentage More conscious about how their behavior impacts their customers 94% Applied SOCIAL STYLE to their sales job 93% Developed more positive relationships with customers 92% Increased ability to influence or persuade customers or prospects 87% Believe that their customers now have a greater sense of confidence and trust in them 87% Improved ability to gain ongoing sales 78% Build relationships with prospects more quickly 76% Customers now more willing to disclose relevant information 75% Convert prospects to customers more quickly 69% Closed sales they otherwise might not have 58% *TRACOM Group, Centennial, CO.

7 Facilitator Improving Sales Effectiveness with Versatility Session: Two-Hour Version Use the ISEV Concepts as your reference during the session that follows. SECTION I: INTRODUCTION, OVERVIEW, AND SELF-PERCEPTION QUESTIONNAIRES Welcome, Objectives, and Overview VISUAL #1 5 MIN Introduction WELCOME participants to the session and provide a brief overview of the session. ASK participants to turn to pages 1, 2 and 3 in the ISEV Concepts to follow along. Welcome participants and stress the importance of active participation. Briefly review the history of SOCIAL STYLE. Cite the proven effectiveness of increased Versatility on page 3 in the ISEV Concepts. Note: Additional information and statistics can be found in the whitepaper, "The Key to Sales Success" located on your resource CD. Explain what SOCIAL STYLE is all about. Say something like, Did you ever notice that customers have certain patterns of behavior: some are animated and loud, some treat you like a friend from the start, others are all business? SOCIAL STYLE gives you a way of identifying a customer s pattern of behavior, and of interacting with them in ways that will help you to increase your effectiveness in your selling process. Ask participants to think about their past customers. Ask, Besides, they bought from me, what made your good customers good? And, what made the difficult ones difficult to sell to? 11
8 [IMPROVING SALES EFFECTIVENESS WITH VERSATILITY SESSION: TWO-HOUR VERSION] Visual #10 ISEV Concepts Page 18 [SOCIAL STYLE MODEL] Unlocking the Keys to SOCIAL STYLE From the pattern of behaviors associated with each Style, we can make certain inferences about the key characteristics of each Style. These are referred to as the SOCIAL STYLE Need, Orientation, and Growth Action. The Need is a primary motivating force for this person. The Orientation is how a person with this Style typically goes about achieving the Need. The Growth Action is what a person of this Style tends to overlook, ignore, or avoid in their interactions with others. Growth Action behaviors tend to be infrequently used in favor of the preferred behaviors of each Style and they are viewed by others as the greatest weakness of that particular Style. For example: The Driving Style s growth action is to listen, which may get overlooked in favor of charging ahead to get their results. The Expressive Style s growth action is to check, that is, to stop and think about how their spontaneity and need for personal approval may be getting in the way of a productive relationship. The Amiable Style s growth action is to initiate, that is, to take action that may involve personal risk or cause an increase in tension in a relationship. The Analytical Style s growth action is to declare, that is to deliberately stop analyzing and make a decision or at least share what is causing them to not make a decision. KEY CHARACTERISTICS OF SOCIAL STYLE CONTROLS Analytical Need: To be right Orientation: Thinking Growth Action: To declare Driving Need: Results Orientation: Action Growth Action: To listen ASKS TELLS Amiable Need: Personal security Orientation: Relationships Growth Action: To initiate Expressive Need: Personal approval Orientation: Spontaneity Growth Action: To check EMOTES Understanding these key characteristics puts you at an advantage when developing successful strategies for interacting with your customers and for building productive interpersonal relationships with them
9 VISUAL #10 5 MIN Facilitator Key Characteristics of Style Introduce the key characteristics of each Style: Style Need, Style Orientation, and Growth Action. ASK participants to turn to Unlocking the Keys to SOCIAL STYLE on page 18 of the ISEV Concepts SAY key characteristics of Style are central to understanding Style behaviors. Style Need is a generalization about the basic need of each Style and is inferred from the Style Orientation. Inform participants that an individual s specific need may vary in any given situation. Style Orientation is based on observed behaviors. Growth Action is based on behaviors that are observed rarely or not at all. Correlate Assertiveness and Responsiveness behaviors to Style Need and Orientation: Have participants think about how Style Need and Orientation directly correlate to the Assertiveness and Responsiveness behaviors that were discussed earlier. For example, the Analytical Style's need for time to think is consistent with getting things done at a slower-pace, being more interested in facts, and displaying less emotion. In the diagonally opposite corner, the Expressive Style s need for approval and Orientation toward spontaneity is consistent with being louder and with more hand gestures. Ask participants to point out correlations they see between the Driving Style s Need and Orientation and the Assertiveness and Responsiveness behaviors same question regarding the Amiable Style. Leader Tip: The key characteristics of Style are only a convenient way of summarizing basic Style characteristics. The descriptions of key characteristics are generalizations of behavior that fit most characteristics of each Style. They do not perfectly describe any single individual. 31
