Sales training

Introduction

Sales training aims to equip sales representatives with the knowledge, skills, attitudes and habits required to meet or exceed their sales targets. Because it is essential to develop these attributes, few organizations with a sales force neglect this form of training even if they only pay lip service to others. This chapter starts with a description of the content of sales training and continues with an examination of the methods that can be used.

The content of sales training

Sales training has been described by Matthews and Schenk (2018) as a process of ‘sales enablement’ which aims to equip sales people with the knowledge and skills, understanding of customers and working environment they need.
