We are living in an information rich era, and modern customers don’t follow a linear sales funnel anymore. With more stakeholders involved, multiple communication channels, and changing economic conditions, it’s more important than ever to have a deeper understanding of buyers and their personas. Traditional sales techniques emphasizing product-driven solutions no longer work in today’s market conditions. To evolve, sales teams need to shift toward a customer-centric and value-driven approach.
This is where SPIN Selling by Neil Rackham comes in. It focuses on listening and understanding customer needs through targeted questioning. SPIN selling is a consultative sales approach used by Sales Professionals to close complex deals. Mastering SPIN selling means integrating these conversational techniques into everyday sales calls that persuades customers to commit. This selling process has proven effective across industries, particularly those with long sales cycles, many stakeholders, and complicated processes.
In this intensive and experiential 1-Day workshop, participants will be able to learn and apply the SPIN method of selling to their unique market conditions. The course is designed to be structured in content to allow the participants to gain the knowledge and skills in a step-by-step progressive approach. Learn to apply your new skills effectively through the facilitator’s demonstrations and role-plays.

Maximus was assigned to cover some topics with our company as a trainer. He was more of a facilitator, taking a more dynamic approach to sharing his knowledge through interaction with and amongst the attendees. I have also had the chance to receive some coaching sessions from him and it allowed me to know myself better. He respects all opinions, listens attentively, and is able to provide insightful comments which are thought-provoking and guides us to grow as a person. His sessions are truly enjoyable and there is always something to take away. Don't take my word for it, attend his sessions yourself. Thank you Maximus! – David Goh
