What you'll learn

In this quick but comprehensive course you will learn the business concerns all B2B buyers have, their shared goals, and what motivates them to make a change (to your product or service). You'll learn the financial terms they use, how a supply chain works, and what business decision makers really want and need from you as a salesperson. Your ability to have a real business conversation in business terms will gain their respect and move them toward a 'yes' to your product or service.

Description

Few sales tactics are more effective than having a real business conversation with a prospective buyer. This 13-part course on how business works provides the knowledge and background needed to 'think and speak business' when engaging with Customers.
