Sales training with models by Schulz von Thun
Sales training with the Schulz von Thun models
Psychologically grounded sales training using Schulz von Thun's models – practical, effective, and tailored to your company.
Selling effectively with sound communication psychology
Today, successful selling is determined not only by product features, but much more by Communication, relationship building and personal impact. Sales clerks do not only have to conduct conversations in a structured manner, but also understand psychologically, what happens with the customer – and with themselves.
My Sales training with the Schulz von Thun models connects practical sales craft with proven communication psychology. The goal is to make sales conversations clearer, more effective, and more sustainable – for better conversion rates, satisfied customers, and confident sales professionals.
Why communication psychology is crucial in sales
In sales conversations, multiple levels always operate simultaneously: content, relationship, emotions, expectations, and inner attitudes. This is precisely where my sales trainings have a powerful impact, because they focus on more than just techniques.
The Schulz von Thun models help sellers to,
- oneself and customers better to understand
- Recognizing misunderstandings early
- die to consciously control one's own impact
- Conducting conversations professionally even in difficult situations
As a trained Communication consultant and trainer do I work with the proven models from my training at
Schulz von Thun Institute for Communication
and apply these specifically to everyday sales activities.
Central models of Schulz von Thun in sales training
The Communication Square
Learn to sell, Messages on four levels to understand and consciously send (factual content, relationship, appeal, self-disclosure) – a key to clear, customer-oriented communication. In the training, we reflect on which ears are most pronounced in both the salesperson and the customer.
The Inner Team
This model helps sellers to, inner ambivalences (e.g., closing pressure vs. customer orientation) and to manage them with confidence – especially important in challenging sales conversations. What does the salesperson's „inner sales team“ look like? And what needs and ambivalences does my customer have?
The Riemann-Thomann Model in Sales
Using the Riemann-Thomann model in sales, salespeople develop a better understanding of different customer types, needs, communication styles, and expectations – and adapt their conversational approach to the situation. Additionally, they also gain a better understanding of their own needs and how they act in sales conversations.
