Sales Development Training Resources from Dave Kahle
The job of the
professional salesperson has become extremely complex and
challenging. Yet, the vast majority of salespeople have never
been trained in the best
practices of their profession . That makes sales development an issue of strategic importance.
And sales development has been the focus of our business since 1988. On this page, you’ll find a variety of sales development resources. Most have been developed by Dave Kahle, one of the nation’s leading sales educators.
You’ll find
dozens of free articles and our sales blog dealing with sales development subjects as varied as goal setting, to selling commodities, to protecting your good accounts from the competition.
Our FREE weekly Ezine, “Thinking about Sales” addresses some aspect of sales development every week. Consider signing up for it.
The Kahle Way ® B2B Selling System is the ultimate sales development program. It’s available in a variety of formats, including live in-house seminars, CD, DVD, and public
sales seminars.
“This was the most intense, and the most extensive, sales training program we have ever conducted. The reception and participation of the 179 salespeople in the various sessions over the four weeks, was excellent. I have seen an excitement and change of mind-set that we have not experienced from any other program. The program was very expensive and time consuming, but I think will prove, without a doubt, to be the most beneficial investment our company has ever made in our future, its profitability, and in our people.
I was amazed at how well you adapted your presentation to make everyone feel comfortable and willing to become engaged in the process. We sincerely appreciate your passion for our program and the effectiveness of your presentation.”
R. L. Burdette, President Nunn Electric Supply Corporation
