Essential Selling Skills Session 3: Pre-Call Planning ($20, 30 minutes, on-demand) Every sales call should be purposeful, otherwise you are simply making sales visits. This session will teach three critical tasks that should be done before every sales call: 1) Setting clear sales goals and objectives; 2) Confirming appointments with the right person(s); and 3) Doing the appropriate homework and research. Practical examples will be used to reinforce how the best sales professionals plan and prepare. You also will receive a Pre Call Planning Form that you can use as a resource to plan for upcoming sales calls.

The video, downloadable handout, downloadable planning form, and quiz will help you improve your ability to master pre-call planning, including how to:

• Use the initial Planning Stage as the first critical link in the sales call process
• Set clear sales goals and objectives that are both task-oriented (what you want the customer to do) and relationship-oriented (how you can strengthen relationships)
• Ensure that you are meeting with the right person(s)
• Do the appropriate homework and research that will help you to connect with the customer
• Utilize the “Rule of Three” as a way to expand your network of customer relationships
