How Does Sales Training Work?

Sales training programs designed for sales leaders who want to drive high performance teams

35,000 sales leaders and professionals are enjoying the success from implementing the strategies they learn in our sales training.  Here’s a few more reasons to choose us.

Results: We have over 1,000 testimonials from Sales Directors sharing their results.

They explain the process, assessment, delivery and impact the training is having on their teams mindset, accountability and results. From the strategy taught to how the training is interesting, practical, motivational and fun. How their teams are involved and invested in their own development and therefore they have ownership and accountability in their development. This results in highly skilled, confident, empowered team members.

Sales Directors: We have specific training and support for Sales Leaders so they have a framework to create and lead a highly successful, motivated and driven team.

The Sales Leader is at the heart of everything we do. Our support during our partnership is of paramount importance.

Suite of Training Programs: The courses are designed to enhance performance at every level of sales experience.

A typical development plan would be a two day deep dive of skills – often the Sales Accelerator – followed by personality styles – one day Extended Disc- reading your customers).  Then from here – strategy deep dives on Business Development, Presenting, Negotiation.

Sales Leaders would accompany their team on the Sales Accelerator, Disc and deep dives (if they are engaging with clients) and then do the Sales Leadership Series. Then everyone would have access to The Academy.

Sales Experts: The training is designed by our Founder, Director, Lead Trainer and leading Sales Expert, Charmaine Keegan.

She brings over 30 years, high end sales leadership experience. The absolute authority in all matters sales related, Charmaine is an author, blogger, international key note speaker and panellist. The other key sales trainers have an average of 30 year’s experience spanning all sales methodologies.

to find out how she can best tailor a program to suit our needs. The team of 18 were from across Australia and the training was to upskill as well as bring a universal methodology and common language. Many of the team had years and years of experience and they stepped forward to say it was the best training they had ever had.

She certainly brings a positive energy and makes it interesting, creating lots of mini workshop moments and group work as well as inserting material on NLP, Extended Disc and other modalities to do with how we think and build trust. Reading the room and changing it up – she kept our interest the whole time.

Overall, we see ourselves as Trusted Advisors so this approach aligned with our values - and importantly the team all emerged positive and confident with a clear plan and process. Thanks Charmaine!

With that we take nurturing and developing our team seriously. They are the coal face of our business. For over 6 years we have partnered with Charmaine from Smarter Selling who is a stand out trainer, facilitator and expert Sales, Leadership, Mindset and Communication expert.

Before the program: The thorough pre work (her team visiting our branches, engaging with our leaders about focus areas, outcomes and where to bring value) demonstrated the high care factor and attention to detail.
The program: she delivered 3 exceptional, productive, practical, relevant days across 3 states and 150 people.
Content: The carefully crafted tailored Aidacare program covered a range of key skills to our leaders, brand managers and teams.
Style: This was full participation! Over 50 team members in each state were full immersed, asking questions, getting into groups, work shopping and doing lots of fun role plays to put into practice the mornings lessons.
Charmaine’s obsession: is how people learn, she knows exactly how to get attention, keep it, get you open to a point, buy into it and then practice it. It was masterful.
Outcomes: you can tell by these things how the team react, they were keen to get ‘back into the room’ at the breaks, were lapping it all up, writing lots of notes, having fun and getting tons of value.
I would say it was outstanding.
And now we are on the Academy, which I saw 18 months ago and loved – a full suite of online tools, courses, podcasts, downloadable templates, interactive section – it’s a true masterpiece in enabling the leaders to extend on their learning and use it in their branches.
Overall, Charmaine and her team are kind down to earth people, very easy to deal with, always positive and looking for solutions, professional and certainly practice what they preach.

Chat to us about your teams development through the stages. (There’s a sliding discount for 4+ attendees).

We have very experienced salespeople, which course should they do?

We train many salespeople that are very experienced, most with 25 years experience. We are all evolving! Those with experience start their journey with us at Stage 2: The Sales Accelerator, and then expand on their requirements by attending Stage 3: Business Development, Negotiation and Presenting and then Stage 4: Sales Mastery: NLP techniques.

Can we put beginners and experienced on the same course?

Yes absolutely. The Sales Accelerator is set up for those with some experience behind them. Most companies would put their team on the same course so that they are consistent in their methodology and also bounce ideas off each other.

Should the manager attend?

Yes absolutely. Most managers attend the training with their team. They are demonstrating to the team that a ) we are all ‘open to learning’ b) to learn! c) support the team – so that you can use consistent language and embed the learnings they have been taught when they are back in the office.

We also have a receptionists and customer service that engage with clients - should they attend?

Absolutely! All ‘touch points’ with the client need to know how to engage meaningfully, using the right language, how to be the ‘trusted advisor’. Inevitably, they are all influencing the clients perception of the business. (Stage 1: Sales Essentials is set up for those ‘foundations’ of how to sell. If they are attending with their team we would suggest they attend the same course – the Sales Accelerator).

Can our organisation have their own tailored program?

Yes, we work with many organisations to develop tailored training. Contact our team now to discuss.

Do you offer tailored corporate training?

Yes, Smarter Selling specialises in creating tailored in-house training programs for corporate teams. These programs are customised to align with your company’s goals, culture, and sales process. We get to know your business and the client touch points, conducting a thorough analysis of where you are at and where you need to get to. We then create a training to exceed your goals.

Should our insides sales/customer service/receptionist have training?

The first person that the client speaks to is most certainly the ‘Director of first impressions’. So, yes we ensure that each person understands their value and worth and from the clients point of view, you are one company. Learning to be helpful whilst being commercially  savvy, how to build and transfer rapport etc.

 

Does sales training work?

When you have the right set-up (i.e. the Leader fully involved with the process, clear on the priorities, focus areas and outcomes) and you partner with the sales training company (choose the right company that will catapult performance) and essentially, drive the new learnings after the program then yes, it works incredibly well.

The side effect is also team morale, teamwork, confidence, empowerment and longevity to a company that cares and invests in them.  The key is for the leader to be fully present, we call them ‘the bus driver’ they are driving that bus for the next 365 days so ensuring they work with the training company on pre strategy/on the program/post program roll out strategy.Â
