Mirror training : A unique procurement training & workshop for Sales people

Your sales team will discover the questions and expectations "from the other side of the table". Sales will learn to think pro-actively in terms of purchasing and hence will secure more deals. B2B Sales has changed significantly due to Covid and the war. If you don't adapt, you take risks (not) to be seen differently or not to be considered any longer !

If sales is running blind

If your sales team often encounters blind spots with regard to potential customers, they do not have enough knowledge:
  • What criteria is used to decide upon a purchase; what is driving the purchasers and what about the broader context of your company?
  • Which maturity level is requested by the customer. Automotive companies traditionally set out higher requirements for sales staff compared to the metal industry, for example.
As potential customers seldom make such elements transparent, your sales team is often running blind. And, as a result, will reduce your chances of delivering a successful deal. It’s time to change this.

Through mirror training, sales will discover...

  • The role of purchasing in your business. Is it strategic or transactional?
  • Questions raised by purchasers and how to prepare accordingly
  • How purchasing defines TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) and, more importantly, how you can anticipate and provide seamless solutions.
The objective? Sales people who think and act pro-actively with purchasers using expert proposals, tailored to the requirements of a given industry.

What does this training offer you?

Increased sales and/or higher level of efficiency
If your sales team knows what a purchaser needs, they will offer the right solution and thus credibility improves – as does the chance of securing a deal.
