Selling Skills
Know Your Customer.
Do you wish you knew your customers better? Do you feel as though you talk too much on sales calls? Gain the upper hand over your competitors by being more than just another salesperson. Stand out from the rest and learn how to forge a more successful, professional relationship with your customer. SNP’s Selling Skills course teaches the sales application of the Socratic Method, which is a search for the underlying hypotheses or assumptions that shape one’s opinion. Learning how to use this method helps you quickly uncover your customer’s true needs and define what you can to do to make their business more successful. Participants learn skills such as a dialogue opener, active listening, open-ended questions, and handling objections. SNP coaches will facilitate role-playing scenarios for each individual to practice.

Self-Awareness / Emotional Intelligence
How you Lead is Key to Being Followed.
Being a leader isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being realistic about our own abilities, understanding how we affect other people, and being aware of the gaps in our knowledge, experience, skills and understanding that need to be filled.  This workshop starts with discussing the role self-awareness plays in emotional intelligence and how our blind spots may be affecting us. Participants examine their reactions to stress and personal triggers and create plans to better manage their behavior when triggered. The class also covers empathy and the role that self-awareness plays in how we think about and relate to others.

Leader’s Narrative
Using The Power Of Story To Avoid The Big Yawn.
Some people are entertaining storytellers. However, simply being witty is not the winning recipe for a memorable story. Using the power of story is more than simply avoiding the big yawn. It’s a way to reach the hearts and minds of listeners, inspire others to action and make something memorable. A good story told well can communicate complex ideas in a simple, repeatable way. It can set context quickly and connect the speaker with his or her audience on an authentic emotional level.

Cross-Cultural Communication
Speak The World’s Language.
Today, any business is a global business. But, for all the collaboration and growth that working across borders opens up, there’s at least as much room for communication breakdown. SNP’s Cross-Cultural Communication program helps you and your teams bridge the gap. Participants develop a structured approach to building trust, forging relationships, solving problems and making decisions in multicultural settings, as well as within specific countries. SNP has an extraordinary network of executive communication coaches in worldwide capitals. We can reach your teams wherever they are.

Getting The Work Done
Lead your team.
Ultimately, managing a team well is about getting the work done. Every team, no matter how cohesive, is also a group of individuals with unique motivations, highly personal objectives and lots of opinions. Motivating a team for success takes self-awareness and keen observation. Self-awareness so you know your own areas of strength, weakness and bias. Keen observation so you understand those same qualities in your team and how the members work best together. In this class, we focus on best practices around identifying and understanding team members’ motivations, establishing SMART goals, delegating for success, and coaching to let people know where they stand and how they can improve.

Participants learn methodologies that help them present themselves as a well-oiled and aligned team ready to take on what is needed.
