The Sales
Managers are prime candidates for advancement to the highest ranks
because of the relevance and high visibility of their jobs.
With the ever
increasing requirement of reaching out to the customer in almost
every industry, the role of the salesman has become all the more
important. Certified Sales Managers are one of the highest paid and
most sought after professionals today.
The importance of
selling skills is set to become far more important in the times to
come as product marketing and delivery become more complex with
increased time and cost constraints. Sales Managers allocate the
sales territories, fix goals and launch training programs for the
sales representatives. They motivate and guide the sales
representatives to improve the sales performance.

Some employers prefer a bachelor’s or
master’s degree holders in business administration with
specialization in the field of marketing. A course in business law,
management, economics, accounting and statistics can give you an
edge over the others. The ExperRating Sales Skills Certification
course can further enhance your resume and help you understand the
skills and knowledge required to be a successful Sales Manager.
Coverage (6 weeks program)
Week One |
Wednesday - Lesson 01 |
|
During our first
lesson, you will unlock the secret to your
success as sales professional. There's no magic
in this procedure, and you're not predestined
for success or failure. Good sales reps aren't
born that way. This course will guide you to
success in your sales efforts via planning, hard
work, feedback, and practice. |
|
|
Friday - Lesson 02 |
|
In this lesson,
you will examine three major components of a
successful time management program: setting
priorities, planning your time, and using
commercially available time management tools.
Mastering those concepts will enable you to
build a meaningful time management system and
integrate it into your schedule. Granted, many
people have demands on their time that don't
allow them all the flexibility they would like,
so discussions on that would also be done. |
|
|
Week Two |
Wednesday - Lesson 03 |
|
Your sales
process begins with marketing. So in this
lesson, you are going to sharpen your skills in
basic marketing techniques. You will learn about
how to get off to the right start, and then you
build on that by examining cost versus benefits.
Finally, you will explore tactics associated
with tracking the results of your marketing
efforts. |
|
|
Friday - Lesson 04 |
|
Most new sales reps
are intimidated by the thought of prospecting. In
this lesson, you'll gain the basic tools that you
need to excel at the art of prospecting to help you
become the best prospector in your company. There
are a variety of ways to prospect, including using
the phone, direct mail, faxing, e-mails, and
old-fashioned cold calling. You will learn the basic
components of each in this lesson, and you'll learn
how to maximize your time while prospecting. After
this lesson, I hope you'll see that prospecting
isn't just easy to do—it can also be quite
enjoyable! |
|
Week Three |
Wednesday - Lesson 05- |
|
In this lesson, you
would address the challenge of pipeline management
by exploring three important areas. First, our
discussion would be on how to create your first
pipeline management system. Next, you will go
further into the details of a prospect database—the
core of your pipeline management system. Finally,
you will identify and define the key components of
your system. |
|
Friday - Lesson 06 |
|
In this lesson,
you'll focus on an innovative approach in the sales
world, called the "initial call." If you must select
a single lesson in this course to master, this would
be the one! As we go through this lesson, we'll
begin by studying the structure of your first call.
Second, we'll talk about a unique approach called a
"site study" that will help move you towards closing
the sale. Finally, you will learn about preparing
for the next step in the sales process. |
|
Week Four |
Wednesday - Lesson 07 |
|
This topic is
intended to give you the material you need to
separate you from the majority of your competition
by helping you with the art of executing a
professional proposal. The first step is creating
the proposal. There's a methodology to professional
proposal creation, and in this lesson, you'll learn
all the information you need to know to develop
top-notch proposals. Proposal refinement and
delivery are also important parts of, the process,
and we'll go over those in detail, too. |
|
Friday - Lesson 08 |
|
A lot of sales
professionals say that presentations are the most
enjoyable part of the sales cycle. When you get
hired into a new company, this may be what they
would teach you first. Everyone is (or should be)
proud of their product or service, and so they're
excited to share it with others. In this lesson,
you will go over on how to develop the most
effective presentation techniques—the ones that will
give you the greatest chance of winning the sale.
We'll start by discussing presentation options and
then we'll move on to the structure of your
presentation. Finally, you will examine some of the
presentation tools available to you. |
|
Week Five |
Wednesday - Lesson 09 |
|
This lesson will
focus on the art of negotiating in the sales
process. Sales negotiations are quite different from
standard negotiations because you, the sales
representative, are always doing a fine balancing
act, trying to sell your prospect while negotiating
a win-win-win situation. Sometimes the negotiating
process can cause conflicts, so in this lesson, you
will discuss how to identify and deal with these
conflicts. |
|
Friday - Lesson 10 |
|
If you were to ask
professional sales reps about the aspect of sales
they dread the most, a good percentage would
respond, "Closing the sale!" However, if you were to
ask the same professional sales reps about the
aspect of sales they enjoy the most, an equal
percentage may very well reply, "Closing the sale!"
Why is there such a difference? The answer can be
summarized in three words: training, confidence, and
technique. By the time you finish this lesson,
you'll be equipped with all three. |
|
Week Six |
Wednesday - Lesson 11 |
|
The greatest
resource any sales representative will ever have
is a current list of customers. The company
probably expended a great deal of effort and
expense into acquiring these clients, so it
makes sense that you should put a good deal of
effort into retaining these clients. In this
lesson, you will discuss how to protect this
valuable asset. Most people think of their
clients in the singular sense of people who are
currently using their products. You should try
to expand this thinking to include all people
who have used your products or services. If they
made a decision to buy your product at some time
in the past, they remain your odds-on favorites
to buy from you again in the future. |
