How to Create a Sales Smart Customer Service Department
Article Abstract:
As telemarketing progresses, customer-service personnel need to have sales awareness and sales skills. Every incident of customer contact is a chance to sell the company. When this new position is presented to customer service personnel, they often are uncomfortable with the idea. They react negatively to the image of salesmen. By offering training in sales skills, the service representative can add a new dimension to the service offered to a customer. A simple sales process is outlined that will be applicable to this type of personnel: establish rapport, generate interest, analyze needs, fulfill needs, and close. Overcoming objections is the final step.
