the starting point —
The challenge
In a fast-paced, competitive payments market, field sales professionals need more than product knowledge to succeed. They need the confidence to engage business owners, uncover commercial opportunities, overcome objections and turn conversations into customers. PaymentSense required practical, targeted sales coaching to strengthen the capabilities of its field sales team and help sellers maximise the quality and effectiveness of customer interactions.
how it unfolded —
What we delivered
Step 1
Build the selling fundamentals
We delivered hands-on sales coaching focused on the behaviours, skills and commercial confidence needed to succeed in face-to-face selling.
- Prospecting and opening conversations — building confidence when approaching prospective customers and creating immediate engagement
- Consultative selling — asking better questions to uncover customer challenges, priorities and buying motivations
- Value-based conversations — shifting the conversation away from price and towards commercial value and business outcomes
Step 2
Turn conversations into commitments
Coaching then moved to the moments where deals are won or lost: responding to resistance, agreeing next steps and applying the learning in the field. The Deal Room gave sellers space to work through their own live opportunities.
- Objection handling — navigating resistance, challenging assumptions and responding confidently to common objections
- Closing and commitment — gaining customer commitment and agreeing clear next steps
- Coaching in action — translating learning into practical selling behaviours applied immediately in the field
how we worked —
The Sales House difference
We don’t believe sales capability is built in a classroom alone. Our approach connects practical coaching with real commercial challenges, helping sellers turn knowledge into behaviours that drive performance.
what this tells us —
The takeaway
Better conversations, stronger capability and greater commercial impact come from coaching that sits close to the real selling day — so sellers know exactly what to do differently on the next customer interaction.
