Im Vertrieb gibt es nur wenige Einheitslösungen. Der Kontext zählt. Komplexe Verkäufe sind anders als Abschlüsse, die mit einem Anruf getätigt werden. B2B ist anders als B2C. Interessenten, Gebiete, Produkte, Branchen, Unternehmen und Vertriebsprozesse sind alle unterschiedlich. Es gibt nur wenig Schwarz und Weiß im Verkaufsprozess.<br> Eine Ausnahme sind Einwände. Bei Einwänden gibt es Demokratie. Jeder Verkäufer muss viele NEINs ertragen, um zum JA zu gelangen. <br> Einwände nehmen keine Rücksicht darauf,<br> – wer Sie sind,<br> – was Sie verkaufen,<br> – wie Sie verkaufen,<br> – ob Sie neu im Verkauf sind oder ein Veteran,<br> – ob Ihr Verkaufszyklus lang oder kurz ist – komplex oder transaktional.<br> <br> Seitdem Verkäufer von Käufern verlangen, Verpflichtungen einzugehen, haben Käufer Einwände vorgebracht. Und seit Käufer Nein sagen, sehnen sich Verkäufer nach den Geheimnissen, wie sie diese Neins überwinden können.<br> Jeb Blounts Buch ist ein umfassender und zeitgemäßer Ratgeber, der Herz und Verstand anspricht. In seinem unverkennbaren, direkten Stil nimmt Jeb Blount kein Blatt vor den Mund und schlägt Ihnen die kalte, harte Wahrheit darüber ins Gesicht, was Sie wirklich daran hindert, Verkäufe abzuschließen und Ihre Einkommensziele zu erreichen. Dann zieht er Sie mit Beispielen, Geschichten und Lektionen in seinen Bann, die Ihnen zeigen, wie Sie selbst bei den schwierigsten Einwänden mit menschlichem Einfluss ein Nein überwinden können.<br> Stattdessen lernen Sie eine neue Psychologie für die Umkehrung von Einwänden und bewährte Techniken, die mit den besser informierten, kontrollierten und skeptischen Käufern von heute funktionieren. <br> Mit jedem neuen Kapitel werden Sie mehr und mehr Vertrauen in Ihre Fähigkeit gewinnen, Einwände in jeder Verkaufssituation zu erkennen und effektiv zu bearbeiten. Und mit diesem neu gewonnenen Selbstvertrauen werden Ihr Erfolg und Ihr Einkommen in die Höhe schnellen.

Remote learning has been around since the 18th century. Caleb Phillips began advertising correspondence courses in the Boston Gazette in 1728 allowing people, for the first time, to learn new skills no matter where they lived. For the past 300 years, virtual training, in its various formats, has been meandering into shore on an inevitable yet slow building tide. And then, just like that, everything changed. A global pandemic. Social distancing. Working from home. In an instant, the tide became a tsunami. The global pandemic accelerated the broad adoption of virtual instructor led training along with awareness that classroom-based training is often expensive, inefficient, and fails to deliver a fair return on investment. While it is certainly more challenging to re-create the collaborative environment of the physical classroom in a virtual setting, virtual training combines the structure, accountability, and social learning benefits of classroom training with speed, agility, and significant cost savings. Simply put, virtual training enables organizations to rapidly upskill more people, while generating a far higher return on the training investment. Virtual training is also green. Studies indicate that virtual training consumes nearly 90% less energy and produces 85% fewer CO2 emissions than classroom training. Still, the biggest challenge with virtual training, and the reason there has been so much resistance to it, is historically the experience has been excruciating. Not the quality of the curriculum or content. Not the talent of the trainer. The learning experience. There are few people who haven’t had the pleasure of sitting through agonizing virtual training sessions. Death by voice over PowerPoint, delivered by a disengaged instructor, has an especially bitter flavor. It is the way virtual training is delivered that matters most. When the virtual learning experience is emotionally positive: Participants are more engaged, embrace new competencies, and knowledge sticks Participants are more likely to show up to class and be open to future virtual training Trainers enjoy their work and gain fulfillment from making an impact Leaders book more virtual training Organizations more readily blend and integrate virtual training into learning & development initiatives This is exactly what this book is about. Virtual Training is the definitive guide to delivering virtual training that engages learners and makes new skills and behavioral changes stick. Jeb Blount, one of the most celebrated trainers and authors of our generation, walks you step-by-step through the seven elements of effective, engaging virtual learning experiences. Trainer Mindset & Emotional Discipline Production & Technology Media & Visuals Virtual Curriculum & Instructional Design Planning & Preparation Virtual Communication Skills Dynamic & Interactive Training Delivery As you dive into these powerful insights, and with each new chapter, you’ll gain greater and greater confidence in your ability to effectively deliver training in a virtual classroom. Once you master virtual training delivery and experience the power of remote learning, you may never want to go back to the physical classroom again.
