INSIGHTS DISCOVERY
MAX SALES EFFECTIVENESS
Understanding yourself to understand others better
This dynamic two-day programme has been specially designed to help salespeople maximise their sales effectiveness. The programme has been described as a game changing experience and the content can be tailored to address any specific needs individual salespeople or sales teams may have.
MAX Sales Effectiveness with Insights Discovery works for new and very experienced salespeople alike. The programme enables salespeople to see their customer’s in full colour, by this we mean salespeople understand their own selling preferences and different buyer’s buying preferences. As a result, salespeople can recognise buyer type more effectively with a view to adapting their own behaviour to better connect.
Words are words, promises are promises, only performance is reality. 
Style of programme
Our approach is highly motivational, high energy, fast paced, interactive and fun with a point. We have worked as salespeople and have run sales teams, so we understand the real challenges facing salespeople today. 21st century salespeople need to be focused, agile, entrepreneurial, relationship engineers with exceptional communication skills. That’s what this programme is all about.

How it works
We would agree your specific needs so that we can tailor the programme accordingly.
We would invite each member of your team to complete an Insights Discovery profile online. This produces a Sales Discovery profile for each individual sales team member.
The Insights Discovery® Personality Profile is a highly acclaimed development tool which gives individuals an engaging, reinforcing and transformational insight into themselves and others.
On this programme each Insights Discovery profile includes the Foundation and Effective Selling Chapters.
The Foundation chapter enables individuals to understand their style and approach, key strengths and weaknesses, value to the team, communication style, possible blind spots and opposite type.
The Effective Selling chapter enables salespeople to understand their selling style and gives detailed ideas for development across six key areas of the sales process.
