Selling Through Distributors Training

This program is for salespeople who sell their products (goods or services) through a third party account. Typically these accounts are classified as distributors, agents, stockists. The program differentiates and focuses on the selling approach needed to maximise the sales performance "through" an account, rather than to the ultimate (end user) customer. 

The person engaged in this specialised role will need to possess all of the skills of the direct salesperson and more. This program concentrates on the "more" aspect, providing a global approach to market development and benefit. In addition to the specialised selling skills the program considers marketing strategies to accommodate both end user and third party needs. This embraces planning and implementing promotional activity, training and motivating your selling outlet(s), and generally working together in a cohesive and harmonious style.
