Basic Sales Training: Selling Fundamentals

Available Formats

• Half Day
• One Day

Program Overview

It's no secret that selling has changed in recent years. This is an exciting and dynamic profession, yet it is one of the most underrated and misunderstood. The back-slapping, sleazy, joke-telling huckster has disappeared, and in his place is a new generation of sales professionals. This program is designed to help participants exhibit the traits of the new salesperson: competence, poise, and honesty.

Program Objectives

At this program's conclusion, participants should be able to:

• Understand a wonderful paradox: helping other people get what they want gives us more of what we want.
• Use goal-setting techniques as a way to focus on what they want to accomplish and develop strategies for getting there.
• Recognize the difference between features and benefits of products and services.
• Identify and be able to better present the competitive strengths of their products and services so they can be proactive in handling objections and more successful at asking for the business.
• Use different types of selling for different situations.
• Identify ways to find new clients and network effectively.

The following outline highlights some of the course's key learning points. As part of your training program, we will modify content as needed to meet your business objectives. Upon request, we will provide you with a copy of participant materials prior to the session(s).
