Computer Assisted Learning

 

“For over two decades, I fought the good fight to get clients to listen to me when I knew I knew better. I never realized that what I was saying was adversarial and clients would always fight back. I began working with the Advisory Selling Methods and everything has changed. I only wish I had had this support a decade or two ago.”

– Steve Jenkins

What is Advisory Selling?

Advisory Selling offers a whole new way of selling; one that transcends our normal selling habits that send us into an adversarial relationship with clients regardless of our good intentions. Rather than convincing clients to do what we want, we learn to bring clients to a point where they make an appropriate choice about what will serve their best interest.

Advisory Selling quickly gets clients and agents in complete alignment with what is the best course of action and lays a foundation for a long-term partnership that comes with repeat business and referrals. It is about focusing on the client’s win which inevitably becomes the agent’s win.

Our Position in the World of Selling

Changing How You Sell Will Change Everything In Your Life!

Advisory Selling offers methods that bring out the natural advisory selling skills that are innate to every person. These skills are the opposite of the typical tactics, techniques, triggers, tricks, and traps that agents have been trained to use and are the true reason behind every successful selling conversation. Over time practicing these methods, we learn how to turn selling away from a set of cheap tricks into the sacred act of service it was meant to be.

Conspiratorial

Selling

Hurting Clients For
My Gain

Conspiratorial Selling is pretending to help clients when you are selling a product that could hurt them.

Competitive

Selling

Outsmarting Clients For My Gain
Competitive Selling is controlling clients so they do what the agent needs them to do to get their paycheck.

Consultative

Selling

Selling My Solution For My Gain
Consultative Selling is selling a solution to clients that they may or may not need all to get a paycheck.

Collaborative

Selling

Working With Clients For Share Gain
Collaborative Selling is account based selling that fosters dependency between client and agent.

Advisory

Selling

Empowering Clients’ Choices For Their Gain
Advisory Selling focuses on empowering clients to make an appropriate choice that will serve their best interest.

These different modes of selling are available to everyone all of the time. It is essential to choose our approach wisely. Many agents fall into survival-based selling in which they compete with clients, or even conspire against them, to serve the agent’s best interest. Some senior agents eventually arrive at a place where they learn how to build collaborative selling relationships with clients. It often takes many years of getting hammered by clients for these senior agents to connect with their natural advisory selling skills.

The Advisory Selling Methods offer agents at all levels, from brand new to super-senior, a way to push aside what does not work that well anyway and unleash the power of the natural skills within them.

“As a newer agent, I struggled to even get people to talk to me when I called them. We called it cold calling. It was surely that until I began to work with the Advisory Selling Methods and brought out some skills I did not know I had in me. Calling is no longer cold and clients are much more receptive.”

– Jamie Atkins

Core Principles of
Advisory Selling

These principles are at work underneath
every successful selling conversation.

The core principles of Advisory Selling shift the focus of selling conversations away from the agent working to get what they want for themselves. Agents learn to give the client the support that they need in order to accomplish what the clients want, regardless of the benefit to the agent. Agents win when clients win.

When Clients Are Winning – Agents Are Winning!

Discover How to Accelerate Your Skill Development

We are fully committed to your success.

Advisory Selling offers an array of support options from computer assisted learning within the online learning modules and tools to built-in collaboration among colleagues and others to virtual collaboration via email for input on work done. The most effective options are private coaching and group programs. The private coaching is with a member of our coaching team and team members lead the group programs. These options significantly accelerate and deepen the learning process so that learning becomes immediately applicable.

Computer Assisted Learning

Online Direction & Guidance
CAL, a blue icon seen throughout the modules and tools, stands for Computer Assisted Learning and gives big picture guidance. A green icon, VAL, gives specific step by step directions and definitions.

Collaborative Online Learning

Work Online With Partners
Built into the learning modules and tools is the ability to collaborate with a colleague, mentor, or manager in a delayed-response mode within each application. It allows multiple collaborators to work together.

Virtual Collaboration

Email Based Support
This form of support works when a colleague, mentor, coach, or manager is working with an agent to develop various email marketing components or working on a practice and preparation script for a variety of calls and client meetings.

Private Coaching

Regular Private Sessions
These are regularly scheduled sessions 30 to 60 minutes weekly or biweekly. The purpose is to give in depth coaching on the materials being learned and to unravel any performance blindspots that may be limiting success.

Group Programs

Regular Group Sessions
In these regularly scheduled 60 to 90 minute group programs participants learn from each other. People in this peer group setting are able to learn from the mistakes and successes of others increasing the velocity of learning.

“I’ve often thought that selling was not the career for me, mostly because it wasn’t as prestigious as other fields seemed to be. But since I began using the Advisory Selling Methods that has changed quite a bit. I know now that I have a great service to provide clients and it has become my job to make sure they make the best choices for themselves. That feels like something very special and selling is something I am proud to say I do.”
