Whiteboard Selling
Empowering Sales Through Visuals
Recommendation
When a speaker sets up a PowerPoint presentation, often that’s the cue to take a quick nap, because slides are passive. Interactive selling with colorful markers and a whiteboard grabs attention. Consider your sales presentation audience: With so much product and sales data available on the Internet, salespeople are targeting higher-level executives in prospect organizations to offer them solutions to long-term problems. This requires a more sophisticated pitch and a dynamic, conversational style. Sales experts Corey Sommers and David Jenkins explain why whiteboard selling works so well in this setting. They offer useful illustrations and worksheets to clarify their message and to provide hands-on training. getAbstract recommends their colorful, well-designed workbook to sales professionals who want to grab their buyers’ attention and to managers who are ready to dump the projector, turn up the lights, and allow their salespeople to draw, interact with clients and think on their feet.
