Welcome to Selling Skills for Professionals: Part 2 Making the Sale.
In Part 1 of Selling Skills for Professionals I covered prospecting, that is identifying potential future clients and making the initial approach. In this course, Part 2 of Selling Skills for Professionals, I cover the sales process – converting a prospect into a client. In Selling Skills for Professionals: Part 2 Making the Sale, I look at the skills you need for selling professional services and how to create a series of webinars to build prospects’ interest. I then cover a five-step sales process in detail:
The course also covers why people buy professional services, and why they might not buy; and it shows how to deal with objections.
Selling professional services is not like selling a car, or solar panels. It’s about building a relationship with a prospect as a professional advisor; coaching them through the challenges facing them; and offering services tailored to their needs which will help the prospect make tangible improvements.
If you want to know how to sell professional services successfully, this is the course for you.
I hope you enjoy the course.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
