How is enterprise selling different from broader roles?

• Multiple stakeholders on both sides.
• High-value and investment. Critical for both buyer and seller.
• The complexity and size of the requirements mean long sales cycles that often exceed a year.
• Complex overlapping buyer issues.
• Complexity in the solution and its implementation.
• Customisation and integration requirements.
• Complex negotiations.

Closing large sales from enterprise-scale organisations depends on faultless planning and flawless execution by a team. Adopt a team-based sales process for minimising the risks inherent in competing for high-value sales.

Participants apply the process to current high-value sales opportunities during the programme.

Training for winning complex sales can be spread over several months, condensed into longer intensive sessions, or delivered over consecutive days.

What makes an enterprise sales training course different?

1. We use a flipped classroom approach. Participants are invited to study the course content in advance.
2. Training time is spent on practical real-world exercises, testing, and implementation planning.
3. Learning involves the integration of best practices.
4. Establishing new routines and habits through workplace actions.
5. The opportunity for one-to-one sessions with the course author.
6. Career-long support.

How do you master enterprise sales?

Enterprise selling usually involves a high-value complex sale that has an impact on many people in the buyer and seller organisations. The sales cycle is often long and subject to many variables that are outside of buyer and seller control. Mastering enterprise sales requires excellence in several disciplines including project management, team leadership, politics within organisations, networking, and competitive strategy. This is in addition to the more familiar sales competencies of communication, persuasion, and negotiation. This course is designed to teach the necessary methods, skills, and habits.
