Introduction

This is a Sales Masterclass. We all need sales training at almost any level.  You may have the latest product or the most competent service at the right price, but it is pointless if your salespeople can’t convince the customer.

This course takes us through the basic selling and communications skills necessary to persuade and convince potential customers both face-to-face and on the telephone.

We examine sources of information available to formulate a sector-by-sector market analysis and a workable Marketing Plan.

We turn that raw market intelligence into qualified leads that our sales force can turn into orders and we give them the skills to do this.  

Once our prospects have become clients, we use our Strategic Selling Skills and Customer Care to keep them and expand our service within them.
