Truely effective sales training requires using world class instructional design that ensures the predictability of learning desired outcomes - or in simpler terms - everyone one that attends the training has to learn due to the way the training is designed! Ensuring that the learning is then used back in the workplace (post workshop transfer) is an entirely different discussion that we are happy to have!

If you asked most people, they would typically say that you have to be 'born a salesperson'. That depends on your definition of a salesperson. At Profitable Connections, we assist companies in the sourcing, developing and managing of truely professional salespeople.

Our proven series of sales training workshops have consistently enabled salespeople to achieve amazing outcomes. Brand new salespeople have to have the basics established in a way that good habits and core competencies are embedded in their behaviour. Experienced salespeople need to be challenged to maintain their standards and like all professionals and specialists, great sales people want to keep coming back to the basics.

Some people confuse presenting with training and although our Managing Director enjoys his keynote presenting opportunities, the only way you can know that there is going to be a change in behaviour is by deliberately designing the training using an engaging and practical method and then providing the resources required to make that training become new habit.

Art or a Science?

A Stone Mason or Woodcarver must be able to interpret the raw material they start with plus posess the skills required to release the figure trapped inside. A Musical Conductor turns black ink on a page into emotions that fill a room. The Winemaker requires a finely tuned palete that can provide enjoyment to others, years after he has completed his work and a Painter uses colour and shape to tell a story that is often different to each observer. 

A lack of understanding of the highly technical skills and sensory acuity require by a professional salesperson, is the reason that many people believe it to be some kind of black art more than a deliberate and calulated science. In truth, professional selling at it's highest level, is both! Talk to us about learning how to combine the art and the science in your industry!
