205: Introduction to Selling

Program Overview

Every organisation needs to ‘sell’ in order to succeed. Despite this there are often people who say “I hate selling”. This program introduces participants to the principles of selling in a way that removes the anxiety felt by non-salespeople of being high pressure or manipulative.

Participants learn to see selling as a ‘giving process’ rather than a ‘taking process’ and they increase their skill and comfort at selling their organisation’s products and services.
