Time Management for Sales
Workshop Description
Successful sales professionals manage their "selling time” well while average sellers do not. The purpose of the Time Management for Sales workshop is to learn how to efficiently utilize the time available for high gain sales activities and take maximum advantage of the finite amount of face-to-face selling time. By contrast, average sellers make common mistakes such as calling too frequently on the wrong accounts and not prioritizing their sales tasks and activities. The workshop will address how to minimize or eliminate these common mistakes and other sales time wasters.
Unlike a general workshop on time management, the Time Management for Sales workshop will highlight tips and techniques that are pertinent to sales professionals. For example, each participant will assess his/her own time and territory requirements needed to provide the optima amount of time to spend with different customers and completing critical sales goals such as new business development.
Who Should Attend?
Time Management for Sales is especially well-suited for newer sales professionals in order to build good time management habits early in a sales career. However, any level of sales professional will benefit from this workshop. It also works well if a sales manager takes this workshop and then teaches the concepts to his/her sales team.
