Selling through others, such as distributors, agents or retailers requires additional skills to selling direct. We must create the right environment and support for the intermediary to sell. This course allows participants to develop their action plan and skills.

Overview
Selling through other people is particularly challenging. The ‘other people’ may be distributors, dealers, channels or other salesforces in your own organisation. Many people who are good at selling direct to prospects fail when selling via other people. We need an action plan which ‘sells’ to the indirect salesforce and then helps the indirect salesforce to sell.

Unlike a direct salesforce, problems with an indirect salesforce result in reduced sales. We need special skills to handle such situations.

This stimulating and practical course provides the key skills and strategies needed and helps participants to develop their personal action plans.

Who Should Attend
All new and experienced salespeople who must sell through an indirect salesforce.
