When training for business, its important to remember that its not only your own business skills that should be trained, but also the skills of your business teams. Sustaining sales growth over an extended period is not a task that one person can manage, no matter how trained their skills. Good management involves allocating the oversight of growth.

Business Development Skills you and your team can train

• Opening conversations and presenting your value proposition.
• Consulting and challenging to identity opportunities and build the need for your services.
• Effective questioning , listening, relationship building and influencing skills.
• Presenting compelling solutions.
• Handling objections and gaining commitment.
• Negotiating mutually beneficial conclusions.

Sometimes, business development is left to the staff members who have a natural ability in this role. But this doesn’t have to be the case, business development skills can be learned by anyone willing to invest the resources to do so.
