ogistics specializes in working with business-to-business sales organizations to provide customized major account sales training programs designed to ultimately increase sales productivity. Our training programs examine and teach a proven, research-based approach to creating and developing major account selling opportunities in today's dynamic business world. After completing our programs, our clients learn a critical framework of skills that have been shown to separate "ordinary" from "extraordinary" sales performers.
 

What makes Sogistics Major Account Sales Training unique?

Here is what makes our program not only different, but also highly relevant to our client's sales success:

Strong Research

Our sales training is based on research data that has been developed by assessing the behavior patterns and critical skills of thousands of top, middle, and lower producing salespeople. In addition, we have analyzed research from some of the best selling organizations in the world that operate in a variety of selling environments.

Course Philosophy: Business People Who Sell

It's not enough to be a "talking brochure." Our program teaches you how to bring overall business value to your buyer. Salespeople must bring value beyond the products and services they sell. They must be well-rounded businesspeople first and foremost if they are to be effective at delivering business value results to their customers.

Customization and Gradual Active Learning

The content of the Sogistics training program is tailored to the uniqueness of your selling situation. In addition, the content is presented over spaced periods of time for maximum learning, skill acquisition, and high participant involvement. Sales training needs to be "spoon fed" rather than packed into inflexible and lengthy seminar-oriented sessions.

Adopting the Buyer's Perspective

We examine how your customers buy. We consider their processes, attitudes, and strategies in order to show you how to better align yourself with the buyer and to manage the selling opportunity.

Course Content
  • Entry: "Getting in" prospect doors
  • Approach, positioning
  • Needs analysis, the FOCAS model

Summary of Sales Training

The Sogistics Major Account Sales Training is an opportunity to look at new and better ways to create and manage significant selling opportunities for your organization. We will provide several valuable services:
