Appointment Setting Skills Webinar

Overview

If your role involves setting up appointments for yourself or for someone else then this virtual workshop will provide you with the essential techniques that you need.

You’ll first learn how to identify if you’re being screened by a gatekeeper and the strategies on how to get through them.

Then, once you’re on the phone with the decision maker or relevant person you will discover how to sell the appointment by giving valid reasons and benefits of why you should meet.

Objectives

By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:

• Effectively plan and prepare for a calling session
• Create impactful openings that grab attention
• Identify and then get through different gatekeeper screens
• Handle the most common objections you face
• Sell the appointment rather than sell what you are selling
• Ensure that the meetings go ahead by using the CEMENT technique
