Not long ago, top salespeople often developed sales strategies designed to go around procurement, or involve them very late in the sales process to sign off on a completed deal.
Today, procurement has been elevated to a fully-developed management team role in many organizations. Top salespeople must understand the complete buying process including the role procurement plays, their KPI´s and the tools they use to choose a supplier so procurment can be engaged at the right time, in the right way.
One of the cores to GPG's training success is our unique 'Arena' training concept. Sales teams need to move out of their safe and familiar comfort zones and operate in the Arena where they are truly engaged and effective. Teams who use our tried and tested formula are guaranteed to demonstrate more constructive and less destructive behaviour and win more sales. This method is available with all of our training materials.
Negotiating with Procurement inevitably creates tension and stress, especially when price, terms & conditions are discussed. It enables your salespeople to stay in the moment and use the tension to their advantage. They’re able to stay calm, focused, and confident throughout the negotiation cycle, knowing they have the right skills to negotiate with tough procurement professionals to establish and exchange value even with the most demanding buyers.
GPG’s IP can be openly shared across your organization – in fact, we encourage it. Our business model is not about paying for IP licences but rather about getting your people to use and apply the new skills to their real-world clients. This allows your entire organization to understand our methodology, support the thinking, create innovation within their units and develop new ideas for helping and renewing client contracts.
