DEVELOPMENT
In order to achieve sustainable growth, there are four main ways companies can attain this; by increasing:
-
The number of customers you have
-
The number of times they buy from you
-
The amount they spend (through your pricing and new product lines)
However, there is the fourth element which is often undervalued.
-
The effectiveness of your people and processes
Being more effective starts with bench-marking where people are with their skill levels in applying best practice principles in order for them to grow in their role. This is important because you then have a better insight into their potential to increase productivity. Having a strong company culture is part of the development process.
We offer help with developing different types of people in a sales role in order to make them more confident and productive. This helps to improve the individual's and the company's sales potential.
Other Training
In addition to our sales workshops, we also offer ones which focus on other training skills which are important for best practice in a sales operation. These include:
