Erical Sales Training

In today’s environment, there are many issues that companies must face and overcome to succeed. Regardless of the type or size of your company, success is dependent on the development and utilization of your most valuable assets, knowledge of your business and your people.

The Erical Sales Training series is designed to help companies address the complex issues faced in today’s business environment by helping your people become more profitable and productive.

Our consultants have over 50 years of sales, marketing, administrative and management experience. We understand the issues you face from personal experience in the business arena. Our consultants’ experience combines practical business world experience in start-up organizations and Fortune 500 companies. Our program consists of seven modules tailored to address your specific issues and involve your people in the presentation.

We have a 100% commitment to providing quality service and never assume we have all the answers. We don’t believe in wasting your time or money. Therefore, we insist on discussing your business and the topics that are most important to you prior to accepting any engagement. After discussing your needs, we will mutually determine if our program will be beneficial for you. We provide a management summary for each engagement which includes evaluations and feedback from the attendees. Our program is also reimbursable through various co-op programs offered by suppliers.

Each module is tailored to meet your requirements.

Career & Personnel Management
Employee turnover is one of the highest direct and indirect expenses for any size business. Career changes also impact the employee. Effective employee/management development, performance planning and evaluation, interviewing techniques, suggestion programs, compensation and benefits analysis will help reduce turnover by keeping the employees challenged and focused on long-term career objectives.

Customer Management Skills
By understanding the customer’s overall structure and requirements, your people can focus their marketing efforts to ensure maximum profitability from each account. This module will help you establish and maintain mutually beneficial, profitable and creative long-term relationships with the customers you choose to do business with.

Time Management
In order to be 100% effective, employees must understand the relative value of their time based on their monthly objectives. Our approach will help people focus on how much time they must be in front of decision makers and how to “beat the clock”.

Identifying Key Markets
Identifying the right customers and natural competitors are critical components of a successful business. Our territory coverage strategies focus on how to identify the markets where you can effectively and profitably compete.

Listening, Questioning & Closing Skills
Every purchasing decision is based on 1 to 5 basic requirements. Our “Magnetic Approach” allows you to pull people to your way of thinking by listening, asking and answering the right questions to satisfy the customer’s needs. Effective closing skills will allow you to obtain a higher close rate

Financial Justification
In today’s price sensitive market customers are more concerned with the purchase price instead of the total cost of ownership. To ensure the highest level of profitability and customer satisfaction, you must focus the customer’s attention on the true cost of ownership and the benefits of your products and services.

Business Administration
Every business must inspect what is expected. Proper focus on expense and inventory controls, salaries, and financial information can make a difference to your bottom-line objective.
