SALES TALENT AGENCY AND THOUGHTEXCHANGE
“Build your elite sales toolbox.”
Starting out in sales comes with many challenges – especially when your client has 20 years of career experience on you! Approaching a complex sale with less credibility and expertise can be easier if you have the support and know-how of an elite sales person. In this session, our panel of seasoned sales people will talk about how to equip new sellers with the tools they need to approach the sales process with a veteran client.
You’ll learn:
- How to evolve your ideal candidate profile when this is a major issue
- How to fast track business/industry acumen
- How to anticipate and proactively resolve bottlenecks in your sales cycles
This will be a 60 minute live webinar. If you can’t attend the live session then still sign up and we will send you a copy of the recording once it’s completed.
