Planning professional development events for sales teams is challenging as businesses typically want to combine a variety of topics into one presentation. Those topics include motivation, inspiration, skill development, practical tools, and techniques for every level of sales professional.
Working with a company that specializes in team sales training will provide your business with the option of choosing the best presentation method. It also will give you an opportunity to work with the facilitator to customize the training to your industry and business. This customization and personalization of sales training can be done three ways:
Live In-House Training
Bringing in an expert for in-house training offers the most interactive and customized experience. It is also highly motivational for the entire sales team as exceptional speakers read and respond to the audience in a way that is very personal for each attendee.
Conference or Sales Event Training
Smaller companies or companies with multiple locations may choose to send their sales team to a conference or training event. This offers the benefits of networking and talking to other sales professionals as well as with the trainer. When multiple companies work together, this offers a lower-cost option than live in-house training.
Virtual Training
Combining the best of live training with a cost-effective solution, virtual team sales training programs provide flexibility with scheduling options and a lower overall cost. Additionally, businesses with multiple locations can have sales professionals from different offices interact in virtual breakout rooms, all without having to leave their own home office.
There are benefits to each of these options for sales training. Talk to the company providing the training to find the best option for your training needs, budget, and specific requirements.
