Practical training to improve virtual sales presentations.
If you lead a sales organization or have sales professionals report to you, you know that virtual and hybrid sales meeting and presentations via Zoom and Teams will be part of the future. Clients and prospects will prefer that some meetings be done virtually and less travel time means more selling time for your reps. As sales expert Colleen Francis shares in this article, “virtual selling (and buying) are entrenched in how people want to do business now“. You want your sales professionals to have the best skills to communicate solutions that convince prospects to move along the buying journey.
In the three-and-a-half-minute video below I share three tips that will help sales professionals improve their virtual meetings and presentations. All using the tools they already have, like PowerPoint, the Edge browser, and Zoom or Teams.
