SALES TRAINING THAT WILL GIVE YOUR SALES TEAM THE EDGE!

Sales Impact offers a no-frills, practical workshop concept, that gets down to the "nitty gritty" with a non-generic approach to training. A detailed needs analysis is compiled for each customer to ensure their specific requirements are met.
We believe in a completely interactive approach, encompassing role-playing real life situations that relate to your particular selling situation. This ensures maximum internalisation of the skills.

No situation is too difficult for us, as we have provided training across nearly all types of industries and services in the country, resulting in thousands of sales people enabled with the necessary sales skills to achieve their targets and beyond.

Our vision is to be the preferred sales skills and motivational training organisation in South Africa and beyond, and we are confident that the next twenty years will be even more successful than the last.

TRAINING WORKSHOPS:

CORPORATE SALES WORKSHOP

The Sales Impact Corporate Workshop has been designed in such a way that it is tailor-made for the needs of your business, focusing on your organisation's specific sales objectives.

Prior to commencing training, we will conduct a detailed needs analysis with management using our Sales Needs Analysis Checklist model in order to design a workshop that is flexible and relevant to your business.

SELLING FOR PROFIT

The catch phrase, "turnover is vanity, profit is sanity", holds true in today's competitive business environment. Too many sales people are still driven by incentives that are turnover based, with an emphasis on unit based sales transactions, while there is a definite need to shift their mindset to becoming more profit orientated.

With this in mind, Sales Impact has launched: "Selling for Profit" - a one day training workshop for the sales force of a company in a closed session.

This course will enable your sales people to:
  • fully understand the difference between margin & mark up, and what effect it will have on individual sales transactions,
  • achieve a return on investment,
  • comprehend the relationship between risk and return,
  • grasp the enormous effect on profitability that price discounting can have,
  • as well as, the effect on profit margin of a price increase,
  • understand, and correctly manage stock holding, debtors days, overheads and pricing,
  • and become better negotiators.

If your objective is, to add more to your bottom line, then "Selling for Profit" is essential. This workshop is designed to transform your sales people into professionals with a better understanding of the financial implications of their job, and is the perfect compliment to the Sales Impact, "Sales Skills" workshop
