1.4.1 Description
Sales training program is the process of educating salespeople and equipping them with the
skills they need to succeed in their role. Formal sales training educates sellers on the tools,
techniques, and skills they need to be effective at their job. New sellers need to learn basic
skills like cold calling, performance enhancement, fostered customer relationships, revenue
growth and customer research, but even the most experienced salespeople can benefit from
learning new ways to approach the process.
Formal sales training can cover topics ranging from how to overcome buyer objections to
learning how to use a new CRM software. The most effective sales education focuses on
seller behaviour and how the right behaviours can drive results such as more deals closed,
shortened sales cycles, and a better customer experience.

paying
customers. Training can help your team achieve this higher win rate by helping them develop
stronger communication styles.

deliver value.

customers lies in their product expertise. Product knowledge helps the team speak fluently
