The Brooks Virtual Selling Program
Training a sales team for excellence is not a job to be taken lightly. With the IMPACT Selling Virtual Sales Training Program, we can upskill your team to make better prospecting choices, build better and more lasting customer relationships, and identify solutions through a collaborative, active listening process led by an experienced and insightful facilitator. With IMPACT Coaching, we can help ensure that your sales professionals are truly understanding and implementing newly learned skills with clients and prospects.
Our spaced learning program is essential for virtual selling in the modern world. It is a long-term approach to sales training that we’ve been preaching and teaching since before the pandemic hit. The components of The Brooks Virtual Selling Program, which are outlined below, combine for total of almost 21 hours of virtual, instructor-led learning.
Brooks Talent Index
The Brooks Talent Index gives managers and individuals a holistic view of an individual’s talents in three distinct areas:
Behaviors
How they behave, communicate, and interact with others – via the DISC Personality Assessment
Motivators
Why they take action – via the Workplace Motivators Assessment
Personal Skills
How they interpret their experiences and deploy their knowledge – via the Acumen Capacity Index
Results of the Brooks Talent Index are backed by solid science:
- Based on:
- The work of psychologist Dr. William Marston, whose book Emotions of Normal People (1927) formed the bases of what became an array of DISC assessments developed by others.
- The early-1900s work of Dr. Eduard Spranger, whose book Types of Men described what he called “value attitudes.”
- The 1960s work of logician and philosopher Dr. Robert Hartman’s work on formal axiology, mathematical science of human values.
- Researched and validated by our assessment partner, TTI Success Insights
- Backed by contemporary peer-reviewed science and research journal
The IMPACT Selling Skills Index
The Selling Skills Index evaluates sales knowledge based on today’s modern selling environment. The questions were developed based on The Brooks Group’s deep industry knowledge and expertise regarding sales performance. The results provide an accurate picture of how equipped an individual is to perform at high levels in the current marketplace.
The easy-to-interpret report reveals which step of the selling process poses the greatest challenge to a salesperson, and coaching tips that can be applied to improve their performance in that specific area. Quickly determine where your team member excels, and where they could benefit from targeted training and coaching.
Virtual, Instructor-Led Sales Training
The Brooks Group’s award-winning IMPACT Selling® sales training program has been taught to over one million sales professionals around the world over the past 40 years. IMPACT is an easy-to-remember acronym outlining the stages of the sales process — Investigate, Meet, Probe, Apply, Convince, Tie-It-Up. The system is based on proven, practical strategies that get results in the field — skipping the theoretical nonsense that can stand in the way of your salespeople actually applying their new skills.
The IMPACT Selling® sales process is so powerful because it allows the salesperson to meet the buyer here they are in the buying process while maintaining control of the sale. In these virtual sessions, we break down strategic milestones of the sales process into tactical triggers — addressing the minute-to-minute positioning challenges by applying techniques your most successful salespeople intuitively know, but probably can’t describe.
Our IMPACT Selling® Seminar contains strategies and techniques that can be applied with nearly any product or service, in any industry or selling environment. The flexibility of the system allows salespeople to “make it their own” and adapt to the buyer’s preferences while maintaining control of the sale.
Customized programs include learning tools and sales aids that incorporate the language, examples, and case studies that are most relevant in each client’s unique selling situation, as well as a private-label workbook.
