True Consultative Selling

The Challenge
The sales landscape is changing and the role of the sales professional along with it. Sales representatives must go beyond mere likability and learn to add value through every step of today’s complex sales process — whether that be in-person, on the phone, or online.
To fully master the complexity of today’s sales relationship, sales professionals must develop the ability to have a deep understanding of their customer’s problems, needs, wants, and objectives. They must understand how each customer will behave or respond to different situations throughout the selling process. Then use the knowledge to influence their sales conversations strategically and consistently.
In fact, 69% of buyers say the best way a salesperson can improve the sales experience is to simply listen to their needs. The problem is, only 13% of customers believe a salesperson can understand their needs.
True Colors can help your sales team better understand customer needs and consistently deliver high performance.

How True Colors Can Help
The overarching goal of the True Consultative Selling Training is to create a shift in a sales representative’s personal philosophy and self-awareness. This helps them hone the skills and behaviors required to consistently improve their influencing efforts.
Our concept and implementation of consultative selling goes beyond mere understanding of the strategy. Participants learn the four primary personalities and how best to interact with each one. This helps them optimally communicate with every one of their unique customers and better understand their clients’ needs.
By building in our personality temperament methodology, we can take consultative selling concepts to a higher level of effectiveness, resulting in better internal and external relationships, business development, increased revenue, and other lasting outcomes.
True Colors consultants will take the time to collaborate and understand your team’s specific goals. We’ll customize online or in-person programming that ensures your sales representatives gain a full understanding of our personality profiling language and can integrate it into the consultative selling mindset. While each solution we offer is unique, all our solutions promote improved relationships and communication through shared experiences, increased self-awareness, a common language to discuss differences, and elevated empathy for others.
Our Evidence-Based Approach
The True Colors proprietary methodology distills complex temperament theory into practical tools and actionable programs. We use colors — Orange, Gold, Green, and Blue — to differentiate the four primary personality types and illuminate how these types best interact with each other.
By helping individuals better understand themselves and others, our evidence-based approach reveals the “why” behind behavioral differences. Utilizing this knowledge, True Colors provides programmatic solutions that truly take your sales to the next level.
