Foundation Sales Training creates new horizons

Sales training rarely includes help with career management. If I'd understood more about the phases of career development in my early sales career, I have no doubt that I would have made more of my opportunities and sold more than I did.

Everyone wants to do well. Many suffer unneccessary set backs and delays in their progress. Let me be clear, while promotions may be the way for some, most sales people have a more pressing need, to increase their sales performance, every year.

Career management is the last place one might think to look for help in this regard yet, once properly understood, it points the way to delivering a consistent growth in contribution, year in, year out. That is why our Sales Foundation course includes a module that helps new sales people understand how to manage their sales career.

Sales Foundation is a four day course, spread over four weeks, for people new sales people who are selling business to business:

How to get through and get in front of decision makers

Know if a sale will happen, is winnable, and will be worthwhile

Sales Managers make a difference

“The ability to deal with people is as purchasable a commodity as sugar or coffee and I will pay more for that ability than for any other under the sun”, said John D Rockefeller. Those who can get things done through others are just as valuable today. An effective sales manager contributes more to a business than another sales head.

Join Managing for Sales Performance to learn how. Spend four days spread over four weeks, learning the art and science of achieving sales results through others. Course commences September 4th 2007.

Get the sales job you want

Becoming a sales professional is one career path that almost anyone can embark on. Good interpersonal communication skills are the only real pre requisite for many employers and these can be learnt.

If you are intent on a sales career, first decide who you want to work for. Draw up a short list of companies and then find out who you know who could introduce you. If you can't find a link amongst your circle, apply directly. The requirement for qualifications or experience is rarely a barrier to persistent and determined individuals.

It is wise to study the subject before applying for jobs. The internet, books, and our web site are low cost sources of information and know-how. Use them to develop a sales understanding. Then go out and sell yourself.
