We offer in-house training only – we do not run public courses

Whether you are looking for sales training for new sales staff, refreshing or upskilling existing sales staff or sales leadership / sales coaching skills for your sales managers, Sales Training International can help you.

Sales underpins the success of the whole company. The pace of change recently means now, more than ever, we need to focus on keeping our sales teams upskilled and motived with relevant training and sales coaching.

The Benefits of our Training

 

Sales staff need the necessary skills they need to generate leads, build and manage a pipeline, undertake telesales, make more appointments, hold successful virtual and face to face sales meetings, ask the right questions, identify customer’s needs, solve their problems, offer bespoke solutions and write winning bids and proposals, handle objections, negotiate, close sales, upsell and cross sell, maintain clients, manage key accounts, use storytelling  and video in sales and of course use social media for social selling.

Training and coaching is vital for all sales staff. Just because they had training when they first started their role doesn’t mean they don’t need regular updates. Sales is constantly evolving – years ago social selling wasn’t even a consideration – now it is a main tool in sales success. Regular training also keeps staff motivated as they feel invested in.

Sales Training International has trained over 50,000 sales staff and sales managers over the past 20 years +. We work with organisations of all sizes from teams of 5 sales staff to setting up and running full sales academies for over 2000 sales staff.

We pride ourselves on working in partnership with you to only offer fully bespoke training and coaching.  We work with you to find out what is happening now and what you would like to change or do better. We learn about your companies products / services and your sales process and then deign and write a bespoke training package to meet your exact requirements.

All examples, case studies and simulations are industry and company specific and more importantly we link back to how everything we cover can be used back in the real world.

We use the very latest sales techniques to enable you to stay ahead of your competition, generate more leads, close more sales and retain and grow your accounts.

The trainers we use will be matched to your company based on their subject and industry experience.

Ongoing Support

Whilst we can offer a one off bespoke sales training course, we like to work on a blended leaning solution – as we find this has a much greater impact in transferring the skills into the workplace.

We also offer ongoing support – with 6 months free access to the trainer and life time access of over 500 free sales and learning support materials

We also offer sales coaching, either as a standalone service or to supplement sales training.
