How do we improve the sales effectiveness of virtual sales calls? In this webinar, we will share the role pre call planning plays and what we should know before we have the conversation to create conversations that drive revenue. Once we win the opportunity to have a conversation we need to be prepared to have a warm conversation that builds relationships, establishes competence, and builds trust. In this session, we will share rapport-building techniques and examples of rapport building questions that can be crafted and personalized by attendees.
