The Role of the Sales Professional
Every company relies on sales to survive. Each of us plays a part in the sales process regardless of our titles and responsibilities. Like every discipline, success in sales depends on a combination of behaviors, attitudes, and techniques. In this session, learn what technical sales fundamentally is, what a day in the life of a salesperson looks like, what behaviors, attitudes, and techniques set apart exceptionally successful salespeople, and how to best support the sales efforts of your company no matter your role.
