Tech Sector Sales Training

Tech sales training to help you win bigger deals and build stronger relationships

Customer Relationship Training for Tech Sector Sales

If your sales team is to outperform the competition, then it is imperative that they provide value to your clients that goes beyond simple selling.

By proposing solutions that meet your customers’ most urgent needs, including ones that aren’t obvious, your team will be able to form lasting relationships that win loyalty and increase revenue.

The right technology sales training can help your teams see things from your customer’s perspective, and enables them to be helpful, even when the priorities have nothing to do with the products you are offering.

Challenges Faced by Tech Sector Sales Representatives

No other industry changes as rapidly as the technology sector, resulting in increased competition within the tech space, including from lower-priced, off-shore providers.
— Your sales team has to know how to win loyalty with existing customers and establish relationships with potential customers.
Tech purchases, especially large ones, require a long and uncertain sales cycle which is often sandwiched in between other projects and subject to delays.
— Your sales team needs the skills and knowledge to accurately anticipate the buying/implementation window and take effective action.
Increased mergers and acquisitions are disrupting and shrinking established sales channels and contacts while customers are hesitant to make purchases in a rapidly changing field.
— Your sales team requires essential technology knowledge in addition to the ability to negotiate, follow-up, gain trust and communicate value.
The industry’s move toward products as a service (PaaS) is part of a larger shift toward account-based selling, which requires highly-personalized and high-touch selling efforts.
— Your sales team must quickly recognize individual customer motivations and adapt their communication approach based on their unique circumstances.
