205: Introduction to Selling 2012

Program Overview

Every business needs to ‘sell’ in order to succeed, and not everyone understands how selling is a way of enabling the customer to achieve what he or she wants. This program will introduce participants to the principles of selling in a way that removes the fears that new or non-salespeople have about being seen as high pressure or manipulative.

Participants learn how selling is a customer focussed ‘solutions driven’ process as they increase their skill and comfort at selling their organisation’s products and services.

Designed for

Non-salespeople or those new to selling who are required to promote their organisation and sell their products and services. Also suited to people who need to understand how selling benefits the customer as much as their own organisation.
