This programme provides best-practice, modern sales skills and techniques, as well as guidance on how to coach them in others. It includes: 1. Monthly advanced sales training sessions, covering two key topics each month. These are supported by a B2B sales playbook with tools and workbooks for coaching your team. 2. Additional one-hour monthly 1:1s coaching sessions to address any specific challenges you or your team may have. 3. A facilitated opportunity workshop each month - either for a territory, account or opportunity - to set out a winning strategy. You can invite those in your team responsible for that account or sector. This enables you to focus on your team’s plan and the output and also gives you the structure to facilitate such workshops yourself once this programme ends.
