Effective Sales, Communication, and Negotiation for the Technical Professional: Part 2

Once the basics of effective communication have been learned, it is imperative that these skills be honed. This requires both practice, and adjustment for the specific situations encountered in a specific technical world. Most organizations prefer NOT to have their technical professionals practicing on customers.

Unfortunately, many industries and situations are different, and the strategies that work best need the further learning. Because of this, we adapt this course for specific technical situations. We develop role plays that are real for your company, and work with groups to develop their skills further. We also use this session to strategize on selling techniques, to benchmark organizational structure and approaches against best practices..

This course covers both external and internal selling situations, and is designed for the more experienced or senior technical professional.
