IAPD launches valuable educational offering
for your entire sales force
IAPD has a new educational offering designed to give your sales force the tools it needs to not only find customers, but to find the RIGHT customers and keep them.
The Excellence in Sales Program is a certificate program that addresses the unique roles of both inside and outside sales professionals with a pair of study guides and examinations that you and your staff will refer to over and over again.
Inside Sales
The inside sales professional holds down a position with a variety of responsibilities from inbound calls to providing information and taking orders to serving as an account manager for large accounts.
This person is typically the individual with the most customer contact, product knowledge and the most opportunities to make your business a hero to the customer.
The inside sales portion of the Excellence in Sales Program teaches the strategies and tactics that build long-lasting relationships with customers.
Outside Sales
The options presented to customers today are diverse and access to product is easier than ever. This puts pressure on relationships and even more on the bottom line.
These pressures have changed the distribution industry. It's not good enough to sell product, issue an invoice and sell the customer all over again on every order. Successful sales people respond to the changes in the marketplace in the way they do business by placing an emphasis on the full array of resources their company can provide.
Great outside salespeople use their time wisely to communicate the full value of their company and the Outside Sales component of this program focuses on this as well as targeting and keeping the best customers for your business.
