Sales Fundamentals

*Sales Fundamentals* is a program that teaches participants the essential pieces of a structured, consultative sales approach. In this 18-hour series, we will explore a 7-step process for sales: prepare, build rapport, explore, make the offer, resolve objections, close the sale, and after the sale follow-up/follow-through.

Each step will include discussion and application of specific sales techniques, and communication components necessary to that aspect of the sales process. The concepts are applicable to a variety of sales roles, including individuals who have face-to-face customer contact and those who sell products or services to customers over the phone.
