Sales Certification Changes Selling Behavior Over Time


Sales Certification with Action Selling begins by first knowing selling strengths and skill areas that need improving. This can be accomplished with our free Benchmark Selling Skills Assessment. This sales assessment provides recommendations on how to improve in the key selling skills that drive sales success. With this knowledge, a sales certification plan can be designed to reinforce learning and change sales behavior to consistent field success.

Without a progressive, systems approach to training that reinforces learning over an extended period of time, no positive, long-lasting result in behavioral change will occur. Sales training must be a long-term commitment, otherwise you are wasting your time and money.

Five Phases of Certification

Action Selling training is a complete, on-going sales certification program; a plan that is effective in helping salespeople learn proven skills, apply them to their selling situations and measure their effectiveness. There are five phases of the program. With each phase, a variety of tools are provided to maximize learning.

Our research of thousands of sales professionals shows that salespeople who are certified in Action Selling reduce sell-cycle time, increase margins and grow their sales at a rate that is six times greater than those without training.

The Selling Skills of each student are measured in the "Prepare" phase before training, 91 days following the "Train" phase and at the time of the "Certify" phase (150 days). This provides sufficient feedback and learning opportunities for each student to master the skills that lead to the achievement of your company's objectives.
