SEforPS: Pre-Sales for Professional Services

Do your professional services folks proactively look for new business? Are they bonused sufficiently to motivate this behavior? Do they have the pre-sales skills necessary to enable them to do so?

A one or two-day blended learning course could teach Professional Services consultants how to apply sales engineering techniques to discover new business.

Such a course would apply structured engineering principles to best practices for discovery and qualification of new business.

The Consultant will be able to:

  • Apply structured analysis techniques to their discovery
  • Ask penetrating questions to dig for business problems
  • Adapt to stakeholders based on their decision making tendencies
  • Assess the quality of new sales situations
  • Communicate with the sales team using a common language
  • Hand-off to the sales team in an effective manner
  • Have the sales team hand off to PS in an effective manner

As a result, Professional Services consultants would proactively seek new business and work more effectively with the sales team.

Such training could be augmented by other tactical skills classes:

  • SEpres, Technical Presentation Skills
  • SEdemo, Technical Demonstration Skills
