Would you like to sell with more enjoyment, confidence and results? In this course you work on your sales techniques, conversation skills and presentation. You apply it directly to your own practice and achieve visibly better sales results.

Description

Good selling is vital to your organisation. Clients want to be heard and seen and are looking for someone who shows interest, listens to their challenges and thinks along towards a suitable solution. If you can do that, you are already very close to being a good salesperson.

In this course you get to grips with the most important aspects of selling. You work on your sales plan, your conversation, questioning and listening techniques, and on the way you present yourself, your organisation and your product. You also learn how to deal with objections, reservations and complaints, how to recognise buying signals and how to close a conversation convincingly. Aftercare and building long-term client relationships are covered as well.

You apply everything directly to your own working situation and receive constructive feedback and practical tips. Whether you are an experienced salesperson or just starting out, your sales skills will visibly improve.

For teams and organisations. For a sales team we run this course in-company, using your own products, clients and sales conversations as practice material.

Topics

During this course you work on the skills you need to sell with more confidence and better results. The following topics are covered:

Business planning

  • The structure of a strong sales plan and what yours could look like
  • The collaboration between (online) marketing and sales to increase joint success
  • Who to approach within the client organisation: the various DMUs and the issues that matter to them
  • What information you want from a client, why that matters and how to find it out

Conversation skills

  • The communication model: influencing people in a positive way
  • Sales methods that make customers glad to see you
  • Conversation techniques: entering every conversation with confidence and concluding it successfully
  • Questioning techniques: asking the right questions at the right moment
  • Listening techniques: really listening, so that the real question behind the question comes out into the open

Presenting yourself, your organisation and your product

  • Packaging your message so that the client immediately sees the benefit
  • Putting your sales arguments in the right order for maximum impact
  • Dealing effectively with objections and reservations
  • Using complaints as an opportunity to deliver extra value
  • Coming across as convincing and reliable
  • Generating a need to buy
  • Responding to buying signals

Closing the sale and after-sales care

  • From conviction to order
  • Adding strategic value to long-term client relationships

Result

After this course you will be stronger in your sales conversations. You know how to build a sales plan, who to approach within a client organisation and how to get the right information on the table. You ask sharper questions, listen better and recognise what the client really needs.

You present yourself, your organisation and your product in a way that matches the client. You deal convincingly with objections, recognise buying signals and know how to turn a conversation into an order. Even after the deal has been signed, you know how to remain valuable to your client, so that you build lasting client relationships.

Are you a novice or an experienced salesperson? In both cases you will notice straight away that your sales skills have visibly improved and that you sell with more enjoyment, confidence and results.

Target audience

This course is ideally suited to account managers, sales staff and marketers involved in selling. If you regularly carry out acquisition or hold client conversations from another role, you will also be in the right place. Whether you are just starting out or have years of experience: you will take your sales skills to a higher level.

The course focuses on selling to businesses: account managers, internal and field sales staff, and advisers who also need to be commercially minded. You work on acquisition, the client conversation, objections and closing the deal.

Teaching method

The content of the course may differ slightly from group to group, because at Learnit we think in terms of tailored solutions: your own practice is always the starting and finishing point. Before the course you have an intake interview in which your learning objectives are identified. On that basis the trainer determines the final programme.

Learning by doing comes first. You practise with recognisable sales situations from your own work, receive direct feedback from the trainer and the other participants, and alternate theory with role plays and practical assignments. This asks for active involvement and ownership on your part; in return, you discover and develop skills with which you achieve results immediately after the course.

Prior knowledge

You don't need any specific prior knowledge for this course. Whether you are just starting out in sales or already have years of experience, you can join straight away. It does help if you are open to working with your own work situations.

In-company

Would you like to organise this training for a whole group or several groups? This can be cost-effective. For example, we can tailor the content entirely to your organisation, and training a whole group is also cheaper.

Are you looking at large numbers of participants or a complete academy? That involves a great deal. Consider planning and communication, for example, or identifying and agreeing the objectives and content of the training. Or differences in level, feedback mechanisms and safeguarding. Fortunately, Learnit has extensive experience in this field (more than 25 years) and we are happy to help you through this process.

Sales: selling with results! course: average 8.4 from 16 reviews

“This really is a good course for learning how to use the tools properly in sales conversations. It is suitable for both novice and experienced sales staff.”

D. de Groot8.4

“The trainer is good at putting himself in the participant's shoes and responds well to that. There is a programme, but it can be deviated from. On top of that, the trainer surprises you with a little something extra.”

“I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to develop personally. It is not only about selling, but also about self-reflection and how you come across to your audience. By recognising your own pitfalls and focusing on what you are good at, you learn to get the best out of yourself.”

S. Faber8.8

“A superb course. Very personal, and our trainer was great too. It was already of great use in the first week back at work.”

J. Ton

“The content of the course covered every aspect of acquisition. From cold calling for an appointment to closing an acquisition process or conversation. I liked that, because I wanted to leave it to the trainer to assess where my greatest opportunities for improvement lie. The trainer clearly has experience in this field. This was evident from the ease with which she talks about it and the countless examples she is able to produce. These examples were very well tailored to the practical questions and cases that were put forward. Faced with a critical audience, she put 'listening carefully', 'asking (follow-up) questions' and 'dealing with objections' into practice in a way that I found very inspiring. I always find that kind of congruence in a course extremely convincing, and I therefore see it as a great strength of the trainer.”

Who is the sales course 'Selling with Results' suitable for?
The course is suitable for account managers, marketing staff and anyone whose work involves acquisition or customer contact. Both novice and experienced salespeople can take part, as the programme is tailored to your personal learning objectives through an intake beforehand. No prior knowledge is required, so you can start at the level that suits you.
Is prior knowledge required for the sales course 'Sales: Selling with Results'?
No, no prior knowledge is required for the sales course 'Sales: selling with results'. This classroom course is suitable for both novice and experienced salespeople. Beforehand, an individual intake takes place in which your learning objectives and working practice are discussed. On that basis, the trainer tailors the programme to your level and working situation.
What is the delivery format of the sales course 'Sales: Selling with Results' and how is it structured?
The course 'Sales: selling with results' is taught in a classroom setting, with an individual intake beforehand. During the intake your learning objectives are mapped out, so that the programme matches your own working situation. In the classroom you work in a small group on sales techniques, practise conversations and receive direct feedback from an experienced trainer. Learning by doing is central.
Do you receive a certificate after the sales course 'Sales: selling with results'?
Yes, after completing the 'Sales: Selling with Results' course you receive a certificate of participation from Learnit. This certificate confirms that you took an active part in the course and practised the sales skills, conversation techniques and presentation techniques covered. The classroom course is suitable for both beginner and experienced salespeople.
When should you choose a classroom sales course rather than an online course or self-study via YouTube and books?
A classroom sales course adds value when you want to develop skills that you can only learn by practising and receiving feedback. Think of questioning techniques, listening at the right level, dealing with objections and generating a desire to buy. Self-study or e-learning works well for knowledge, but not for behaviour in real sales conversations. On Learnit's Sales: Selling with Results course you practise with your own work situations and receive direct, constructive feedback from a trainer and fellow participants. An intake takes place beforehand, in which your learning objectives are identified and the programme is tailored accordingly. Choose classroom training if you want to perform demonstrably better in customer conversations; choose self-study if you mainly want to gain theoretical knowledge about sales methods.
What does this classroom sales course give me that I would not get from a sales book or a LinkedIn Learning course?
The difference lies in practising with feedback on your own client situations. A book or e-learning explains the theory of questioning techniques, dealing with objections and creating a need to buy, but you get no response to how you do it. In this course you bring in your own cases: a difficult acquisition conversation, a deal that stalls, a client who drops out over price. The trainer and fellow participants act out those situations and give constructive feedback on the structure of your conversation, your listening behaviour and the order of your arguments. Beforehand there is an individual intake in which your learning objectives are recorded; the programme is adapted accordingly. You also work on your sales plan, DMU analysis and the alignment between marketing and sales. Self-study is a lighter investment, but a classroom course works better if you want to change behaviour.
How do I know whether this sales course suits me if I have been working in sales for years?
The 'Sales: selling with results' training course is suitable for both novice and experienced salespeople. For experienced salespeople, the course mainly works as a fine-tuning exercise: you test your current approach against proven methods such as the communication model, questioning and listening techniques, and dealing with objections. In the individual intake beforehand, you and the trainer determine which learning objectives are relevant to your situation, after which the programme is tailored accordingly. You practise with your own real-life cases and receive direct feedback from the trainer and fellow participants. The course is taught in a classroom setting. Don't choose this course if: you mainly need cold-calling scripts or CRM training. Do choose this course if: you want to sharpen your conversation skills, customer analysis (DMUs) and closing techniques.
How quickly can I apply what I learn in the sales training course to my own sales conversations?
You apply it straight away, because the course is built around your own practical situations. During the intake beforehand you submit concrete cases: a deal in progress, a difficult client, a sales plan that needs improving. On day 1 you practise conversation, questioning and listening techniques on those cases and receive feedback. Between day 1 and day 2 you try them out in your actual work. On day 2 you discuss what worked and what did not, and refine your approach. As a result, at the end you take away not theory but techniques that work: dealing with objections, recognising buying signals, and moving from persuasion to order. Expect a visible effect within a few weeks, provided you continue to apply the techniques consistently.
What is the difference between this sales course and a course that focuses on one specific method such as SPIN Selling or Challenger Sale?
The Learnit course 'Sales: Selling with Results' is methodology-independent and covers the entire sales cycle: business planning, DMU analysis, conversation and questioning techniques, dealing with objections, recognising buying signals, closing and follow-up. Courses built around a single methodology (SPIN, Challenger, Sandler, MEDDIC) go into one framework in more depth, but leave other elements aside. This classroom-based course works with participants' own real-life situations, established in an individual intake beforehand. That makes the course more broadly applicable to both B2B and B2C sales and suitable for account managers, marketing staff and acquisition specialists. Choose a methodology-specific course if your organisation already works with SPIN or Challenger; choose this course if you want to sharpen up your entire sales process.
How does this sales course compare with a course aimed specifically at telephone acquisition or cold calling?
Learnit's 'Sales: selling with results' course is a broad course covering the complete sales cycle: from business planning and DMU analysis to conducting conversations, presenting your product and organisation, dealing with objections, closing the sale and aftercare. A course focused purely on cold calling or telephone acquisition mainly covers the opening conversation, scripts and breaking through resistance on the phone. Choose this Learnit course if you want to strengthen your entire sales process, including customer relationship management and long-term strategic value. Choose an acquisition course if you specifically want to get more appointments out of cold lists. The Learnit course does cover acquisition as one element (approaching DMUs, questioning techniques), but not as its main focus.
