Course Overview

Top

Selling in today’s competitive and complex environment often requires the efforts of many resources from within an organization, and can involve the participation of external partners as well. Working as a team to win a customer’s business requires clearly defined roles and responsibilities, strong communication skills and a coordinated effort. The challenge is that many teams are formed quickly and informally, and the protocols required to be successful are often overlooked.

The Team-Based Selling workshop is designed to provide anyone working in a team selling environment with the knowledge and skills required to be successful. It teaches team members how to ensure that they are aligned in their efforts and provides them with tools and techniques to work together efficiently and effectively to achieve sales goals and provide the customer with a seamless experience.
