Why technicians or engineers should attend a sales training course

Selling complex products requires a high level of technical expertise. However, in addition to technical expertise, customer orientation and methodological competence in sales talks are also crucial for success. Especially when it comes to products that require explanation, excellent advice is required in addition to outstanding technical know-how. This sales training course will teach you the necessary skills. Only a few employees in technical sales made their career choice because they wanted to become technical sales assistants in an industry for technical products. If you want to succeed in the highly competitive high-tech market, you need to develop a new sales awareness that is primarily geared towards the customer's commercial objectives. The customer does not pay for the product, but for the benefits of the technology purchased in order to remain competitive in his market. In this sales training course, we teach you how to proceed systematically in sales talks. Learn how to build a relationship with the customer, determine their needs and present the benefits of your offer in a targeted, understandable and convincing way, thereby increasing your sales success.
