Course Content — Sales — The Other Side of Service

Sales — The Other Side of Service ™

The more prod­ucts or ser­vices a cus­tomer buys from a com­pany, the more likely they are to stay with that com­pany. If you want to add value for your cus­tomers and build loy­alty while improv­ing sales, this is the course for you!

Sales — The Other Side of Ser­vice™ teaches your employ­ees all the skills they need to add value to their cus­tomers' per­sonal or pro­fes­sional lives while increas­ing sales for the com­pany. Employ­ees will leave train­ing with a new atti­tude toward sell­ing and the skills to be suc­cess­ful in cross-selling, up-selling, and over­com­ing resis­tance. And the best part is, your cus­tomers will feel served, not sold.

This course is pre­sented in either entirely in the class­room, or via blended learn­ing (which include on-line mod­ules and follow-up class­room sessions).
