If you want to increase your sales, ongoing sales training and sales coaching is the key to your success and that of your sales team. ?Let me explain why.

First and foremost, sales training brings timely sales knowledge to the table.? With the speed of today?s world it is nearly impossible to always be familiar with all the newest techniques and technology. Initial and ongoing training is the ultimate learning tool for sales professionals.

For example, most organizations today are aware that the economy has brought about an important sales shift. ?Selling during the boom times is pass?.

Now is the time to attract, engage and empower the new economy of buyers who have the ability to buy at any time on demand.

Effective sales training teaches how to succeed with relationship selling in today?s new economy of buyers. The sales process has to be transformed into a ?buyer focused? format where getting to the truth and building a relationship are the main goals.

It is far more important to bring in the right buyers for the right reasons instead of simply making a sales pitch or even a sale.

Ongoing sales training encourages you to let go some outdated practices and replace those ineffective habits or behaviors with effective, bottom line, results-oriented sales habits.

In between the ongoing sales training sessions you should implement new tactics in the real world with prospects and clients. ??Then, you can return to the next training session fully prepared to discuss your experiences before moving on to learn new material.

Ongoing sales coaching ensures that all knowledge and lessons gained from the training are implemented and that your sales process is improving.? The ongoing process will also make you and your sales staff disciplined and accountable.

Lastly, ongoing sales training should be more than strategy and technique. ?Sales training should begin with building a strong foundation. ?That foundation is you, the individual. ?The strongest foundation is your belief in yourself, the products or services that you sell, the organization that you represent, and the market in which you work.

Even with all of the sales training in the world, without a strong belief in yourself and in-depth knowledge of your offering, you will not succeed. ?Your personal and product confidence will be reflected in your attitude, your body language, and your results. ?To rate a solid 10, you must secure a high level of belief in all of the above.

With a higher level of belief, your attitude will shine and attract buyers to you. ??You must demonstrate the most effective goal driven behaviors. Engage buyers by following a ?buyer focused? sales process and your expertise.
