Sales Training Format

The training is hands on and interactive. The delegates are encouraged to participate and to have an open mind. “How can I make this work for me?”

There are lots of group activities to allow for further customization of the material and role plays to allow the delegates to practice the skills being presented.

There are also regular breaks in the training for “Action steps”. This is to allow the delegates to write down one or two ideas that they got from each section of the training. At the end of the training session they will be asked to prioritise their “Action steps” and start implementing these one at a time. (Implementation of material)

This will ensure that there is a return on the money invested in training.

Information alone is worthless: It’s the application of information that makes it valuable!

All programmes start with the Foundation for Success in sales (Attitude)

The workbook covers and certificates are branded with individual company logos.

Workbooks and Certificates

There is a comprehensive workbook / set of notes / hand-out (Depending on the intervention), which allows for adding personal notes as well as constructing an “Action plan” to start implementing the skills learned.
