Presentation
In a market where competition is intense due to the impact of technology, diverse distribution channels and consumer expectations, the salesperson's role is more complex than ever. It is therefore important to refine your sales techniques and strengthen your approach to customer relationships.
This course focuses on the nature of human interaction and exchanges between customers and salespeople, helping you address the challenges of these changes. Using the DISC colour method, you will analyse your own behaviour as a salesperson, your customers' buying motivations and their decision-making processes.
The DISC method is distinctive, universal, simple and practical. It is widely used in professional settings to understand human behaviour and improve interpersonal interactions. You will therefore be able to work more effectively towards successful sales.
