Why Attend This Certified Sales Professional Course?
If there is one key to this sales professional certificate training course, it's the principles of consistency and commitment. The unconscious mind works tirelessly to make real whatever it has been programmed to do. It uses habits to execute its game plan. Therefore the CSP is designed to teach your team how to replace their current habits with programming that will allow them to achieve your organizations goals even faster.
The CSP certification goes beyond the technicalities of making a sale and goes deep into the psychology of it by explaining the cycle a client goes through when in the purchase process, how to speak directly to clients' needs and how to communicate with clients in the manner in which they want to be communicated with.
Providing participants with not only a vehicle to acquire knowledge and alter beliefs, these programmes will also include practice and skills to meet the time demands of busy professionals, each session of both these programmes is designed to be a modular mini-course which participants can enter and exit training at any time instead of waiting months for the next session to start.
