Explanation

To effectively pitch a product or service, it is important to present it in a way that trains the customer to sell it to their end-user. This means that the pitch should not only focus on the features and benefits of the product, but also provide the customer with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively communicate and sell the product to their own customers. By doing so, the customer becomes more confident and capable of promoting the product, leading to increased sales and success.

4. An important component of the Post-Call activities is keeping your outside sales partner and manager up to date on progress.

Explanation

Keeping your outside sales partner and manager up to date on progress is an important component of the Post-Call activities. This is because it allows for effective communication and collaboration between team members, ensuring everyone is on the same page and can work towards common goals. By providing updates on progress, sales partners and managers can provide guidance, support, and make informed decisions based on the current status of the sales activities. This helps to maintain a strong working relationship and ensures that everyone is working towards the overall success of the sales efforts.

Explanation

It is important to discuss extraordinary customer requests with your manager because they may require special attention or resources that only your manager can provide. Collaborating with your outside sales partner alone may not be sufficient to address the customer's needs effectively. It is crucial to involve your manager in order to ensure that the appropriate actions are taken to satisfy the customer and maintain a positive relationship.

Submit

Explanation

In the "Present" stage of presenting the pitch, you would sell features and benefits and focus on competitive advantages.

Explanation

Asking customers for feedback is important for several reasons. Firstly, it keeps them engaged and off their Smart Phones, ensuring their attention is focused on the interaction. Secondly, it helps the Sales Rep. choose the most effective Pitches to present, as feedback provides valuable insights into the customer's preferences and needs. Additionally, customers place a higher value on what they say and conclude than what they are told, making their feedback a valuable source of information. Lastly, feedback helps identify action items from a Sales Call, allowing for improvements and adjustments to be made based on customer suggestions and concerns.

Submit

Explanation

A thank you note should include a summation of the Sales Call, as this helps to recap the main points discussed during the call.

Explanation

Submit
15. During the Post-Call, it is important to determine your customer's collateral needs?

Explanation

During the Post-Call, determining the customer's collateral needs is not important. The Post-Call is typically the stage after a sales call or customer interaction where the salesperson follows up with the customer to address any concerns, answer questions, or provide additional information. Collateral refers to marketing materials or resources used to support the sales process. While understanding the customer's needs and providing appropriate information is important during the Post-Call, determining collateral needs specifically is not a primary focus. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

Submit
16. "What trends in products or services are your customers talking about?" This is a question that you might ask during what stage of Presenting the Pitch?

Explanation

This question would be asked during the stage of "Open the Call" because it is focused on gathering information about the customer's interests and preferences. By asking about trends in products or services, the salesperson can gain insights into what the customer is currently interested in and tailor their pitch accordingly. This question helps to establish a rapport with the customer and set the stage for a successful sales presentation.

Submit
17. While you are in the "Present" stage, it is important to ask questions that will help you identify the company decision maker(s)?

Explanation

In the "Present" stage, it is not important to ask questions that will help identify the company decision maker(s). The "Present" stage is focused on understanding the current situation and gathering information about the company, its needs, and challenges. Identifying decision makers is more relevant in the later stages of the sales process, such as the "Proposal" or "Closing" stages. Therefore, the statement is false.

Submit
18. Which question might be a useful question to use when "Opening" the sales call?

Explanation

The question "What are the top styles that you are buying from the competition?" would be a useful question to use when "Opening" the sales call because it helps the salesperson gather information about the customer's preferences and buying habits. By understanding the styles that the customer is currently purchasing from the competition, the salesperson can tailor their pitch and offer alternative options that meet the customer's needs and preferences. This question also shows the salesperson's interest in the customer's business and demonstrates their willingness to provide a solution that surpasses the competition.

Submit
19. During what stage(s) of Presenting the Pitch should you be certain to pause and ask for feedback?

Explanation

During the stages of "Open The Call" and "Present", it is important to pause and ask for feedback. This allows the presenter to gauge the customer's understanding and interest in the pitch, and make any necessary adjustments or clarifications. Asking for feedback also shows that the presenter values the customer's input and wants to ensure their needs are being met.

Submit
20. When should you ask your customer questions about new methods or products that the customer would like to deploy to increase business?

Explanation

During the "Open the Inside Sales Call" phase, it is appropriate to ask the customer questions about new methods or products they would like to deploy to increase business. This is because the "Open the Inside Sales Call" phase is the initial stage of the sales call where the salesperson establishes rapport with the customer and gathers information about their needs and preferences. Asking about new methods or products at this stage allows the salesperson to understand the customer's specific requirements and tailor their pitch accordingly.

Submit
21. When should you identify your customer's collateral needs?

Explanation

You should identify your customer's collateral needs during the Present stage. This means that while you are presenting your product or service to the customer, you should also assess their collateral needs. This involves understanding if they require any additional materials or resources to support their decision-making process or to communicate the value of your offering to others. By addressing their collateral needs during the presentation, you can ensure that you provide them with the necessary tools and information to make an informed decision and potentially close the sale.

Submit
22. What are some activities that you complete during the Post-Call?

Explanation

During the post-call, it is important to send a thank you message to the customer. This shows appreciation for their time and allows you to maintain a positive relationship with them. While handling objections and identifying collateral needs are also important activities during the post-call, sending a thank you message is a courteous gesture that helps in building rapport and demonstrating professionalism.

Submit
23. It is important to ask only Open Ended questions during the sales process. Closed-Ended questions make it difficult for the customer to provide feedback and are detrimental in every stage of Presenting the Pitch.

Explanation

Closed-ended questions are actually beneficial during the sales process. They allow for more control over the conversation and provide specific information from the customer. Open-ended questions, on the other hand, can lead to lengthy responses and may not always provide the necessary information. Closed-ended questions can be used effectively to gather specific feedback and move the sales process forward. Therefore, the statement that it is important to ask only open-ended questions during the sales process is false.

Submit
24. In which stage is it most appropriate to reference Broder's support material?

Explanation

In the stage of Presenting Products and Services, it is most appropriate to reference Broder's support material. This suggests that Broder's support material is relevant and helpful during the presentation of products and services to clients.
