All About Sales Training Programs

By Dora Reed


Many companies would have a team dedicated to direct selling in order to not only rack up some profits by directly selling products but also try to build relationships between the company and the clients. Now being a salesperson is not as easy as many people would think of it to be. In order to become a really good salesperson, one has to first undergo some sales training programs wherein he will learn the art of salesmanship in order to sell items.

Now when it comes to closing a sale, most salespeople would follow the very famous seven step sales process. Now the first step in this process would be the product knowledge part. Now in this part, one would be studying the product very extensively so that when the prospect would ask questions about it, he will be able to give a reply.

Now after some intense product training, the next thing that one would learn would be how to prospect. Now when one would say prospect, he would mean trying to find potential customers that would meet the target market criteria of the product being sold. One will be taught the different techniques on how to prospect for clients.

After learning how to segment markets in order to look for the right type of prospects, the next thing to do would be to learn to approach. Now this is usually one of the hardest things to do because one has to make a good first impression in order to continue the process. The teachers will be showing students good ways on how to approach.

Once the salesperson was able to get over the barrier of the potential client, then the next thing to do would be to assess the needs of the prospect. He will be doing this by asking questions about the needs and wants of the prospect. He will then tailor fit his presentation to the needs and wants of the prospect.

Now after assessing the situation of the prospect, then one may continue with the presentation. Now in the presentation, he will be answering the issues of the prospects that stemmed from their answers a while ago. The salespeople will also be trying to inject how the product can elevate the situation.

Once he has already given his presentation, then the next thing he must do would try to close the sale. Now in order to do so, he must apply some certain phrases that are known as closes to be able to grab the attention of the prospect. He will also be taught the different kinds of closes that are used.

Now the last step and the most often neglected one would be the follow up. Now since salespeople have a notion that they are only after selling the product, they would often not follow up anymore. Now this must still be done because these customers may be potential loyalty customers which is good for the salesmen and the company.
