Sales training as a mirror of your company

Reading time 4 minutes

Your company is doing wonderfully. You think you don't need sales training. But hey, hand on heart: Don't you have any need for optimization? Training comes into play in so many areas of your life. Let's take the national soccer team as an example. The team is successful. The players are playing and earning well. But resting and sitting on their laurels is not an option for the team. Of course, there is still room for improvement. There must be regular training, otherwise no good results can be achieved!

The same goes for you and your sales force: sales training holds a mirror up to you and helps you to improve your Leave comfort zone. So, now think again about your business: There is always room for improvement and you should take advantage of it. Sales is one of the mainstays of your business. If your sales department doesn't work, your self-employment won't work either. Find out why sales training can help you on your path to success in this article.

Sales training: Your positioning

Yours Positioning is the be-all and end-all! If you are not positioned correctly, you will achieve little success in sales. A sales training can help you and your company to find the right market positioning for you. You live in a world of options. The competition is huge. That's why it's especially important that you position yourself correctly.

Effectiveness: Your objective

The following also applies in sales: Goals are important. Goals must be set so that they can be achieved. They create a picture in your mind's eye and help you to work towards them effectively and efficiently. The right goals help you to generate more sales and to work with motivation.

Sales training: Classic acquisition to win customers

The acquisition of customers is a classic part of sales. Cold calling in particular makes many people break out in a cold sweat. Whether by telephone or at trade fairs: Cold calling has to be learned, otherwise you won't be knocking down open doors, but hitting a wall. And there are many ways to generate new customers. You can address your target group via:

In the sales training you will learn how to use the marketing instruments in a targeted and effective way.

Get to know your customer

Before you sell something, you need to know your target group. What is your target group interested in? How old is it, what is its average income? Only when you know your target group correctly, you can also build your sales strategies on it.

Sales training: Maintain your customer contacts

Even your old customer contacts want to be maintained and kept up to date. Newsletters are a great option to inform your customers with current offers and to make them aware of new products. After all, you want to keep your customers loyal. And those who are already your customers and have had a positive experience are much more likely to buy a product from you.

Build trust

For a customer to buy, you need to build trust. Without trust, your chances are slim. No matter how much you put yourself out there, your customer won't buy. After all, he's taking a financial risk if he doesn't know you. To help you counteract this, there are several ways to build trust. For example, reviews that describe a positive buying experience or videos in which you introduce yourself to your customers will help you.

Sales training: Choose the optimal pricing strategy

You should think about which pricing strategy you want to use. Because the competition in the market is high and without the right pricing strategy you are screwed. There are three different pricing strategies. If you have a product that should achieve an above-average price on the market, you position yourself in the premium segment. The market price strategy, on the other hand, is based on the market level. Or does it make sense for your product to focus on volume and generate high sales? Then you should focus on low prices.

Then, when the optimal pricing strategy is chosen and a sales pitch comes your way, you should be prepared. Because there are different buying motives. As a result, there are many different ways to sell. What does that mean to you? You sell about lust and love. You talk about the positive sides and explain to your customer what your product can do. On the other hand, there is selling about pain. Buying triggers can be fear and pain avoidance as well. Insurance is a good example of this. You don't buy insurance for fun. You buy insurance to be covered in case of an emergency. Which side do you choose?
