Sales Training
Corporate sponsorship sales is more complex than ever. Give your team the tools they need to succeed.
Corporate sponsors demand marketing programs that are tailored to fit their unique objectives. Shouldn't you want the same from your sponsorship sales team training?
We've created a comprehensive corporate sponsorship sales training program that's based on our nearly 20 years of experience both selling and buying corporate sponsorships. It's not a "one-size-fits-all" approach. We believe each team has its own strengths and challenges, and sales training should be customized to focus on specific needs.
To do so, we work closely with senior management to determine what skills require development. Then we tailor training content
to specifically addresses those areas of perceived need. Typical training includes the following modules, each of which includes approximately 90 minutes of content.
