Business Development
This course is designed to help reinforce the skills needed to develop new business opportunities and enhance existing business. The course will focus on the fundamentals of setting objectives, provide an overview of the needs-based selling process, help employees prepare for customer calls, identify the steps of making a sales call (from initial contact through closing the call and achieving desired results), help employees overcome common objections, and reinforce listening skills. Through scenarios and role-play, participants will develop the tools needed to network effectively and find additional future business prospects.
