The Certificate in Virtual Sales is designed to meet the rising demand for virtual selling skills. Research shows that the buying process has been shifting towards virtual over the past decade. Both inside and field-based sales professionals need the appropriate skills and knowledge about best practices in virtual selling to keep up with current trends. From how to place a webcam and lighting, to hosting a video conference, to virtual prospecting and account management, and much more, today’s sales rep needs to know it all.
Given the recent disruption in selling due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, all sales professionals have been thrust into a new environment. Besides working from home, reps must be skilled and proficient in everything virtual.
The Global Sales industry believes that the future will continue to shift towards virtual selling. Even when we get back to “normal”, sales professionals will need to be experts in communicating, building rapport and trust, prospecting, engaging, and closing deals without necessarily meeting their client in person. Video calls have expanded so much in the past year that they are almost a requirement for all sales. This virtual sales course can give you all these skills.
Virtual selling skills are now a “must-have” for sales reps and this course delivers those skills effectively. Without these skills, you and your reps run the risk of losing sales and facing stagnant sales numbers. Sales leaders should consider equipping their teams with this virtual sales training.
