Executive Sales Training & Coaching that Works

“We turned to LSA Global’s executive sales training to help us take our solution and executive selling skills to the next level.

Their ability to formally assess our situation, identify key sales gaps, develop a plan to measure the results, and fully implement a key sales initiative has been outstanding.

I recommend them to anyone looking to transform its sales force the “right way” to sell higher and wider.”

Description

Selling to executives is different from solution selling. Before executives or senior directors approve a purchase decision, they need to understand how the product or service will specifically impact their overall corporate goals.

Prior to the executive selling training and coaching workshop, you pull together information on a current account that you want to target. Then you spend up to three class days with a corporate officer with experience at the C-level who consults on the account’s current situation and the specific sales strategies that are needed for the future.

Throughout the executive selling training and coaching workshop, the executive will play the part of “the client.” Together, you analyze the company’s annual report, financial reports, and industry analyst reports to identify crucial issues affecting the client’s company.

You receive a detailed look at financial concepts such as ROI, time to market, and the time value of money. After analyzing a customized case, you will plan for and practice conducting executive level sales meetings using your identified account.

Once you have completed the program, you will be able to develop sales strategies for building strong relationships with executives that will lead to increased revenue. To better sell to executives, you will know how to:

Perform a financial analysis to identify an executive’s overall corporate challenges and concerns.
Position products and services as part of a strategic investment that addresses corporate goals.
Communicate the value of the proposed solution (such as greater revenue, faster sales cycles, less price discounting, improved customer loyalty, increased market share, decreased operating costs, and better control of inventory) designed to gain a business edge.
Begin and grow executive level relationships by better understanding the problems that a prospective C-Level client faces and by increasing your insight into the executive’s objectives and thought process.
Be regarded by executive buyers as leaders, advisors and problem solvers who add value to their sales relationships.

Target Audience
Any Sales Professional or Sales Manager that needs to sell solutions to C-Level executives or senior leaders to be successful.

From beginning to end, LSA was as invested in making sure the program succeeded as we were. They not only met the needs of our sales organization, but they helped us meet our very tight launch deadline.

The consultant operated with the sense of urgency necessary to ensure that we were ready to roll the business sales training program in a way that made sense.

Without their dedication and sales expertise we would not have been able to launch the program with the success that we did. Thank you LSA for being a valued business partner!

We originally engaged with LSA Global to help our subcontract administrators and buyers develop better negotiations skills. As manufacturers of satellites, we have many sole source companies to procure the required parts.

Our teams must be able to interact effectively with international companies. This environment uniquely challenges our team in their ability to create equitable contracts, while preserving and strengthening our supplier relationships.

LSA Global not only provided our team with the skills to negotiate effectively and consistently, but we further expanded our relationship to include consulting around our negotiations’ process, measurement of our negotiations, and one-on-one coaching for our team members. We are very pleased with the result of our partnership with LSA Global.

What a refreshing change from the half-baked psycho-babble you normally get from training and consulting organizations. LSA gives you the practical and results-oriented assistance you need to define and reach your goals.

Their leadership, management, and sales expertise has been invaluable. They think strategically and provide a results driven plan – not just a temporary fix.

They are great to work with, and even more importantly, they “get it!”
