Duration: 2 days

Have you ever heard the saying that everyone is in sales?

It’s true – you’re selling every day – be it yourself, a concept, your service or your company.

Good sales techniques are valuable no matter what role you’re in and it’s now more important than ever for organisations to bridge the gap between sales and other client-facing personnel to ensure everyone is more proactive in contributing value to the business. However, many people hired in non-selling roles don’t have the mindset, desire, or skills to be able to identify sales opportunities or they struggle to articulate ideas and present solutions.

Designed for client-facing personnel who are not in sales or business development positions, this training program focuses on the elements of great business relationships – trust, listening, and providing value, plus we unpack top sales skills and processes and show you how to apply them to everyday life for personal and professional success.
