Sales and Sales Management
While most people associate “sales” with products and services, it plays an equally important role in promoting ideas, gaining cooperation and impacting decisions. Learn how to use consultative selling techniques to establish a positive relationship with your audience and increase their receptiveness to your message. Earn your Master Certificate in Sales and Sales Management.
Government example:
Federal employees are often called on to inform, recruit, influence and/or persuade others, in activities that run the gamut from upselling services to postal customers, to fundraising for arts and cultural institutions, to courting selection committees for international conventions and sporting events. As many have learned, passively presenting the facts is unlikely to spur people to action, while a hard-sell approach may actually drive them away. The solution is to establish a mutually beneficial partnership between “buyer” and “seller” that enables both sides to come out ahead. Today, government workers are leveraging proven sales tactics to achieve successful outcomes in many different fields and job functions.
