UNDERSTANDING YOUR SELLING STYLE WORKSHOP

In sales you should always aim to stay one step ahead of your competition.  “One size” of selling definitely does not fit all, so to improve personal sales effectiveness and gain more sales, self-awareness and flexibility by identifying and adapting your selling style is key to success.


This half-day, highly interactive, informative and fun workshop entitled “Understanding your Selling Style”, which also forms the basis of many other Vital Spark sales and business workshops, is designed to further increase sales effectiveness and performance.



There is no right or wrong style – just learning to adapt will increase sales force effectiveness.
