The Skinny On Sales Training Programs

By Dora Reed


Now in a lot of industries like pharmaceuticals, real estate, and other types of products, there would always be a sales arm that would have a lot of trained salespeople in order to rack up some cash for the company. Of course in order for them to be able to rack up some profit, they would first have to undergo some sales training programs. Just so people will know all about this, here are some of the things that one will be doing in these programs.

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 once the product training is already done, then the next thing to do would be the process of prospecting. Now this process would be the process of looking for customers that may be potential buyers. Of course one will be taught the best way to be able to segment the market in order to distinguish who are the potential prospects.

Now after one is done with that lesson, then the next lesson would be how to approach the prospects. Now this is one thing that is extremely hard to do because people would often have a fear of talking to people whom they do not know. It is for this reason that the sales teachers would be teaching their students some lines to use on how to approach.

Now after the approach, the salesperson has to now think of a way to assess the needs of the prospect so that he knows how he must present. In order to do this, one would have to make sure to ask a lot of questions to the prospect. He would be learning how to ask questions properly in order to get the right answers.

Now after one has done all of that, then he will now proceed with the presentation. Now as stated above, he has to make his presentation be able to fit all the needs and wants of the prospect. He also has to be able to know how to talk about the product because he will be doing just that in this step.

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.
