Performance Through People
TYPES OF SALES TRAINING
- Core Sales Skills
-
As a company, you need to offer a range and depth of sales training. Many companies forget the depth component and continue to put the same sales people through "Sales 101" year after year. We recommend a tiered approach to sales training, where an individual's competencies in certain areas are measured prior to training, to ensure the training they attend is appropriate to their skill levels and the role they undertake.
Having said that there are a number of core modules that can be used as the basis of a sales training program. These modules would possibly include the following:
- Basic selling skills
- Planning at the territory, account and call level
- Introduction or opening, building customer rapport
- Questioning and listening - in our eyes absolutely key skills for any sales person
- Presentation or proposal
- Overcoming objections and negotiating
- Closing, a natural consequence of the work already done
- Implementation and follow up
- Sales process implementation
