Sales Executive Apprenticeship Details
In challenging market conditions and with fierce competition, your team’s sales skills are critical to setting your business apart from your competitors. In a changing landscape, the way businesses sell is having to evolve, and sales people are having to work faster, smarter and in new ways.
Discovery’s Level 4 Sales Executive apprenticeship will supercharge your sales team in just 15 months by giving them the knowledge, skills and behaviours to excel.
The Sales Development Programme will give your whole sales team the opportunity to hone and practice their selling skills. Whether they are looking to revisit and sharpen the skills they have accumulated over many years or they’re relatively new to selling, the programme will provide all delegates with invaluable experiences and insights.
Businesses from any industry can benefit from this training as many elements are tailored to a learner’s business, for example: customer profiles, competitors and your markets.
The programme will also help sales people regardless of their focus; whether they’re a field-based, online or on the phone.
Across the 15-month programme, learners will experience:
• 1 induction day
• 8 days of training (including experiential & classroom)
• 2 refresher days
• Face-to-face support visits
• On-going online learning, webinars & support
• Blended learning
• Classroom learning
• Experiential interventions
• Business simulations
• Real business challenge projects
Outcomes of this programme include:
– Improving skills across the whole sales cycle
– Understanding your business, markets, products and customers
– Ability to gather and interpret key information
– Improving commercial and financial acumen
– Becoming customer-centric: engaging customers and understanding their needs
– Being able to manage self and work collaboratively in teams
– Demonstrating professionalism and how to be agile in customer-led environments
– Embedding the right behaviours: ethics, integrity, proactivity, self-discipline, resilience & self-motivation
– Engaging delegates in their own self-learning and future development
The programme can be privately funded by any organisation. Additionally, as the programme is aligned with the Level 4 Sales Executive apprenticeship, the programme can be funded using the apprenticeship levy – both for organisations who are levy payers and SMEs using a government top-up.
Develop sales superstars
Tailored training
Tailored training produces better results by relating elements to your business: your products, sales cycle & customers.
Blended learning
Just telling people how to sell is ineffective & boring! Using multiple teaching styles keeps delegates engaged & maximises learning.
Peer learning
Our peers are full of knowledge & experiences; sharing these can help to embed best-practice and further development.
Module-based
Spending multiple days learning and then taking time to reflect helps to embed information & allows learners to implement it in the workplace.
Business simulations
We all need practice at new things! Using business simulations allows learners to hone new skills in a ‘safe’ environment, and get it right back in the workplace.
Seniority specific
Through tailored training, there is a differentiation between seniority levels to ensure learners are being stretched and training is relevant to their role.
