Client Encounters BookThere’s a lot more to technical work than technology, as anyone in contact with clients will know – and most engineers, scientists and technicians have some sort of client to worry about. Experience shows that the relational an commercial aspects of customer-facing technical roles are as difficult as the ‘hard science’. And, to succeed professionally, you have to shine in all these areas … simultaneously!
Client Encounters of the Technical Kind describes a set of tools and methods that help Customer-Facing Engineers to overcome this constant challenge. The system, called ICON9®, has proved its worth in many companies: small, large and multinational. It addresses Sales, Support and ‘Own Organisation’ topics, and also tackles delicate issues, such as how to stand up to customers whose views you do not share.
Client Encounters demystifies communication for field teams and, in doing so, renders a great service to high-tech companies. Its simple tools and processes promote productivity and effective business results. It’s the ONLY product I have seen that is effective in developing the “technical sales team”.
Client Encounters gives you a set of simple tools that were never covered in engineering school – how to engage and deal with people effectively, efficiently and with great success. I only wish they had been available to me and my colleagues years ago.
