Sponsored by the PA Workforce Development Association, this 1-day workshop provided participants with a chance to take a deep dive into consultative selling, including how to:

• Profile your ideal customers using the same tools businesses use to focus their efforts on the right people for what you're selling.

• Identify the different phases of customer engagement so you can adjust your interactions and move customers more effectively through the different stages. 

• Better prepare for your customer meetings so that you're more likely to get businesses to take action. 

• Create and use Power Questions that help you  establish trust and rapport with your businesses and learn more about their pains and problems--a critical part of the consultative selling approach. 

• Develop plans and proposals that respond to employer needs and make them more likely to work with you. 

• Do more strategic, effective follow-up with businesses so that you keep them engaged as repeat customers--and even turn them into raging fans who will advocate for you with other businesses. 

• Create relationships for the long-term that allow you to identify the evolving needs of your business customers and work with your workforce, educational and economic development partners to address these needs.
