Accessing the Modules
You can download the seven lessons of each module directly to your PC or server. Or, if you prefer, we will host e-learning for you; your agents can log on to our Web site to take the lessons. And in the future, for one low monthly fee, Response Design will manage your learners for you using Articulate Online.
Downloading the Modules
(Choose this option for downloading the lessons to your PC or server.)

When you purchase "Answering Customer Objections" or "Rate of Speech," you receive a download link that is located both on the purchase confirmation page and on the purchase confirmation email. The link remains active for 30 days. Clicking on the link downloads one Zip file.

Extract the Zip file contents to a location of your choice. This action will place the extracted files in the specified location. Each of the seven lessons will be in its own folder.

The executable file (the one that "plays" the lesson for your employees) is the "player.html" file, which is found in each lesson folder.

To make access to the training easy, create a Desktop shortcut to each lesson on either the employee's PC or a dedicated training PC. Our download does not require a login or password for access, so, depending on your internal security requirements, you may want to create a login and password for your employees.

Hosting the Modules on Response Design's Site
(Choose this option if you would like for your employees to access the lessons from the Response Design Web site without any learning management functionality.)

Whether you purchase "Answering Customer Objections" or "Rate of Speech," Response Design will send you an email with the page link to the module(s) that you purchased and your company's unique login and password. If your agents have Internet access, you can distribute the link, login, and password directly to them. Or, you can keep the link, login, and password restricted to dedicated training PCs. The choice is yours.

Hosting the Modules on Articulate Online (Future Enhancement)
We are working on getting the modules uploaded to Articulate online. When it's ready you can choose this option if you would like to take advantage of a learning management system by authorizing your employees to access the lessons from the Articulate Online site. (See www.Articulate.com for Articulate Online features.) Anyone who purchases the modules for download or Response Design hosting can convert their subscription once this enhancement is available. We'll send a notice when its ready!

Articulate Online is an easy to use learning management system that tracks your agents' success though each lesson you purchase. Response Design will assign a unique login and password to each employee you wish to track, manage your user profiles, and email your weekly user progress report. If your agents have Internet access, then Response Design can email the Articulate link, username, and password to each email address that you supply. Or, you can keep the link, login, and password restricted to dedicated training PCs. The choice is yours. When you purchase "Answering Customer Objections" or "Rate of Speech," you will pay an additional fee per month per user for Articulate Online and its administration.

Answering Customer Objections

When sales and service agents become experts in answering objections, your customers will be more satisfied and your organization's productivity and revenue will increase.

Contents
Answering Customer Objections Pre-test
Lesson 1 - Objection Overview
In Lesson 1, "Objection Overview," your agents will learn:
1. the definition of an objection,
2. the three steps to take when answering objections,
3. the correct mindset for answering objections,
4. how to hear objections consistently and objectively, and
5. how to guide a customer to the right solution.
Lesson 2 - Why Customers Object
Understanding the "why" of the situation makes it easier for agents to see objections as opportunities. Knowing why customers object helps them move forward with the appropriate negotiations. Sometimes, a customer does not accept an agent's solution, and will tell the agent exactly why. These customers sometimes offer their own solutions. In this lesson, agents learn how to deal with this type of customer response.
In Lesson 2, "Why Customers Object," your agents will learn:
1. the reasons why customers object,
2. five basic customer needs and how to meet them,
3. how to minimize the number of objections, and
4. what to do if an objection can't be solved.
Lesson 3 - How to Identify Objections
Not all customers clearly state objections. Some listen without agreeing to the agent's solution and without really giving a reason for why they aren't agreeing. This lesson will teach your agents how to identify unclear objections.
In Lesson 3, "How to Identify Objections," your agents will learn how to:
1. listen for and identify signaled objections,
2. engage with the customers to help them identify and better communicate their objections, and
3. diagnose exactly with the objection is.
Lesson 4 - How to Answer Objections
Objections are opportunities for agents to fulfill the needs of customers and successfully close calls. Now that agents know how to identify both outright and unclear objections, and the reasons behind all objections, it's time to teach them how to answer objections. In Lesson Four, agents learn six steps to help them answer objections correctly.
In Lesson 4, "How to Answer Objections," your agents will learn how to:
1. restate the objection,
2. confirm their understanding of the objection,
3. prepare an answer,
4. present the answer,
5. confirm that the answer is acceptable to the customer, and
6. check for additional objections.
Lesson 5 - Practicing Answering Objections
During this lesson, agents have the opportunity to practice what they have learned by evaluating their strengths and weaknesses in answering customer objections.

Rate of Speech

Rate of speech is an important skill to master when agents interact with customers. Mastering the correct rate of speech makes customer interactions more enjoyable and successful.

Contents
Rate of Speech Pre-test
Lesson 1 - Rate of Speech Overview
Agents will be introduced to the power of speech and learn how to set the appropriate rate of speech when interacting with customers.
In Lesson 1, "Rate of Speech Overview," your agents will learn:
1. why a proper rate of speech is an important skill to master,
2. what an average rate of speech sounds like, and
3. how to set a speech rate goal.
Lesson 2 - Fast Talking
Lesson 2 helps agents come to a better understanding of how fast talking affects the customer. We'll provide examples of fast talkers so they know how it feels to listen to this rate of speech.
In Lesson 2, "Fast Talking," your agents will learn:
1. why people talk too fast,
2. what happens when people talk too fast, and
3. what it feels like to listen to a fast talker.
Lesson 3 - Slow Talking
Lesson 3 helps agents come to a better understanding of how slow talking affects the customer. We'll provide examples of slow talkers so they know how it feels to listen to this rate of speech.
In Lesson 3, "Slow Talking," your agents will learn:
1. why people talk too slowly,
2. what happens when people talk too slowly, and
3. what it feels like to listen to a slow talker.
Lesson 4 - "Right Talking"
Agents need to hear what the optimal rate of speech sounds like.
In Lesson 4, "Right Talking," your agents will learn:
1. what motivates them to speak at the appropriate rate, and
2. how to vary their rate of speech to accommodate the listener.
Lesson 5 - "Practicing Rate of Speech"
During this lesson, agents will have the opportunity to decide what rate of speech is most appropriate for various customers.
