🌟 SPICE Up Your Sales Game with a cutting edge sales methodology which sits nicely with qualification tools such as MEDDPICC and BANT. 🌟
This workshop introduces the SPICE Sales Methodology, a comprehensive framework for effective selling. It includes:
A four part SPICE framework,
SPI is a sequence of questions to be asked in a particular order. During a sales call, a salesperson opens with situation questions, progresses to problem questions, and so on. Each type of question fulfils a crucial function in the sales process, all building towards the impact these problems are having on the business.
S: Situation – Facts, circumstances, and background details about your
prospect.
P: Pain – The challenges that brought the prospect your way
I: Impact – What is the impact the pain is having on their role/company and If they purchased our product, what would the impact be.
CE is any particular deadline by which the customer must achieve the desired impact or suffer negative consequences. Critical Events drive the customer’s timeline for a purchase. This is distinctly different from a compelling event, which does not have a specific deadline associated with it:
CE: Critical Event – Deadline to achieve that impact

Janet Efere Sales Expert Sales Trainer 📞 Sales Coach 📞
Chris has written a brilliant course – Train the Sales Trainer. When I decided to do the course, I will admit that I expected one or two tips, but even with my 9 years experience delivering sales training I was amazed at the quality and usefulness of the programme.
I have just finished delivering a two day course on essential sales skills and used a couple of the things Chris suggested – only to get the most amazing feedback from the group that these were some of the best bits!
Do yourself a favour – if you are considering becoming a sales trainer, this course will launch you so much faster than doing it yourself. It is fab and your students will love you for it!
Thank you Chris!
