All About Sales Training Programs

By Dora Reed


In the world of direct selling, it is very important that one would know the certain tips and techniques that would work when trying to close a sale on a prospective client. Of course in order to be able to learn about these techniques, one would first have to undergo some sales training programs that are hosted by certain companies. Now just to give people an idea, here are certain things that one will be learning if he is a part of this kind of program.

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.

Of course the very next thing to do after making some rapport with the prospect, then he has to now evaluate what the customer would need. Now he has to do this so that he can be able to cater his presentation later on to the needs of the prospect. To do this, one just simply has to ask the proper questions to the prospect.

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 the presentation has already been made, then the next thing to do is to close the sale. Now in order to do this, one would make use of certain phrases or sentences that are meant to fully convince the prospect to grab the product. Now there are many closes to learn for each different situation.

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.
