Deidre Tavares

Nazel Veldtman

“I recommend Ray Patterson’s RAP Selling program as the material is practical, providing “how to” knowledge. It was proper sales training and not a lot of “hot air” as is so often the case.”

Nanette Maloney
Sales Manager, Express School Foods, October 2018

“Our sales teams found the Closing The Deal training extremely practical. The way you presented the training was out of the box, interesting and engaging. Each of our teams took something from the training that they could start implementing the next day. Providing solutions is what this is all about!”

Ray Patterson is a dynamic, and accomplished sales trainer and keynote speaker with a lifetimes experience and expertise in sales and sales management training. Ray’s effective RAP® selling sales training programs focus on getting salespeople to take responsibility for their own success in sales, resulting in improved attitudes and increased sales performance.

Before developing any sales training programme, Ray will conduct an analysis of your current sales methods and look for gaps where he can add value through his customised sales training programmes & courses. The sales training programs and courses are developed to meet your specific requirements, ensuring the money spent on training is an investment (ROI) and not just a spend. Ray’s sales training programs focus on the “How-to do” rather than the “What to do”. The sales training is hands-on and interactive (no Power Point).

After any sales training programme the delegates will be equipped with simple “how-to” skills and techniques that they can implement immediately resulting in increased sales. The focus of the sales training programmes is on changing behaviours. Salespeople are encouraged to learn, practice and implement selling skills and techniques and to develop good sales habits.

There are regular breaks in the sales training programmes for “Action steps”. This allows the delegates to write down the key points that they picked up from each section of the training. At the end of the sales training programme they will be asked to review their “Action steps” and choose “One thing” that they are going to implement as soon as they are back at work. They are also asked to provide a short plan of how they will achieve this.

Ray Patterson has developed and presented his effective sales training programs throughout Africa including South African, Botswana, eSwatini, Namibia, Kenya and Tanzania. These training programmes and courses include corporate sales training, telephone sales training, and sales leadership training.

Al is die programme in Engels geskryf en die notas en nota boeke in Engels is, waneer Ray die programme anbied kan hy oorslaan na Afikaaans waneer dit nodig is.

Sales training

Ray focuses on the non-academic part of sales training, the part that really works. He teaches salespeople the “How-to-do” rather than the “What-to-do”. His training programmes are all customised and enhance any existing in-house training already in place. Most salespeople don’t use selling skills and techniques because they simply “Don’t know what to say”.

Ray’s training focuses on giving salespeople the skills and confidence they need to be “Salespeople” rather than just being “Presenters” and “Information Providers”.
