The Psychological Toolset Training Outline

Learn body language skills

Reading people can be very hard to do without handy superpowers such as telepathy, but it can be a bit easier through learning basic body language. See, regardless of any situation, people tend to reveal their emotions through the way they act. Some people may express impatience by constant stomping or playing with their hands. Conversely, employees can probably sense happiness and a genuine desire to listen, and that can be very heartwarming. More importantly, however, body language will afford participants key information as to what they can do in more tense and even lighthearted situations. It also provides them the ability to know their colleagues more, promoting great overall productivity and morale.

Learn how to control first impressions

First impressions are very important in any business setting, regardless of your industry or the individual position of participants. A cornerstone of psychological training within the workplace, it allows employees the ability to make their conversations with others much, much easier. Being able to instill a sense of authority within customers can really have an impact on your sales pitch, and productivity as it typically means that you project a sense of trust and security, reducing the need to explain yourself over and over until people start to understand you. This part of the training course involves learning the psychological ramifications of wearing certain outfits and even rapport building techniques that can help employees become much more endearing.

Know anger and stress management techniques

Anger and stress are two key things that all workplaces often take serious pains to avoid. For companies, it is highly important to keep employees happy, training team leaders to become friendly, and so much more. However, even with these perks, employees may still feel the stresses of conversing with customers for hours. Teams may start arguing, abuses may take place and bullying can become all too real.

Learn self-motivational techniques

One of the key skills any great sales professional must have is the ability to keep motivational levels high. Often, the worst case scenario is seeing a trembling hand, unable to pick up a ringing phone for fear of an irate customer. Even worse, these situations can be rather frequent and widespread, with whole teams having at least one ineffective member. However, no teammate is ever beyond saving; with key motivational and self-help techniques from some of the greatest experts in the field, participants will be provided with the tools to effectively defend themselves from any self-doubt and eagerly wait for the next work day.

Key questioning techniques

Conversations are often simple to understand in theory; most people tend to simply elicit information from others, whether it’s about the latest meme, the latest developments within the company, contact information of customers and many, many more. However, this simple aspect of conversation needs to be turned into a fine art if you and your team intend to become great sales professionals. Often, there’s a balance to be struck between directness, brevity and politeness, all three of which help determine just how well you’ll be able to extract information from any customer– and even how much information. The effects of this cannot be understated– it can influence a sales pitch, help remove the tension especially on the phone and even allow your company to get ideas from your loyal customers, allowing you to innovate and create products that are so good, they’re effectively beyond scrutiny.
