Sales Fundamentals

$29

Selling in the current day has turned into a complex process. With customers more savvy and able to access more information than ever before, a sales process and cycle is as much a buyer cycle. As well as being compelling to the market as a whole, being known and being credible, the buyer has to be taken on the journey to purchase and by the time they reach you, they may be more sophisticated about your products – and your rivals – than you think. This Sales Fundamentals course will show you the basic sales process and proven tools that can be used, no matter what the size of the sale. You will learn to be more confident, handle objections and close a deal.

Study our course in the way you want. In small units or in one. Synchronise your learning between any device and remember and track your progress. Study and answer questions at your convenience and at the end of the course, if you answer more than 80% of the questions correctly, qualify for a certificate of achievement. You can even log your CPD hours.

In all our business courses, you get access to around six hours of e-learning that you can watch, listen and read. There are usually 100 questions and at the end of the course you will receive a certificate of completion that you can use against any personal or professional development requirements. As well as the course, you also receive a FREE e-book that you can read on your Kindle or other e-reader. You also get a FREE audiobook of the course so you can listen to the whole course uninterrupted on your device.

Who is it for?

Anyone who is entering sales or has to understand the core principles of professional selling

Prior knowledge

No prior experience necessary. As you develop your career, there will be a constant requirement to not only refresh and update existing technical learning but also to develop new skills and ways of thinking and behaving.

Technical Skills

Whether you’re in production, distribution, sales, finance, human resources or management your technical skills will always need to keep up with the latest developments in technology and change. The learning for this will generally come from your peers, industry trends and specialised training.

New skills

However, as you move up in seniority through an organisation or become and entrepreneur, you will be faced with learning a much wider array of skills. You will need to learn how to be a generalist but with the ability to look at the whole of a business and how it all interlocks.

People Skills

Most importantly, you will need to master your own behaviours and character and emotional intelligence in order to influence, inspire and bring people along with your vision.

Your career, personal and professional development should never stop, whether you are learning because of a company or professional body requirement or whether you are just wanting to grow.
