Sales Training for Education Services

When you sell education services, your messaging needs to be clear and your customer communication should be crisp. Salespeople in the education services space thrive off of developing long term relationships with educational institutions and other core customers, so why do so many organizations drop the ball when it comes to their sales process?

What if their sales consultants aren’t even getting the chance to prove their value because they’re missing the mark during the sales process? 

Spending countless hours, resources, and energy to hire the wrong salespeople or not invest in training your teams will only make the problem worse.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

Long Term Relationships Are the Name of the Game

Large educational institutions, school districts, or other organizations are typically slow-moving and don’t switch vendors very often. When salespeople get an opportunity to create a longstanding relationship with a prospective customer, it’s absolutely essential they put their best foot forward. Building a long term relationship with an educational organization can result in recurring business, referrals, and achieving quotas on an annual basis.

Hiring Challenges

  • Deciding whether to build an internal sales team or use external resellers
  • Lacking a hiring process since sales isn’t typically a core component of their business
  • Placing too much emphasis on industry experience throughout the hiring process, which limits their candidate pool and typically results in an emotional hire

Sales Challenges

  • Missing employees with relevant sales backgrounds since most come from the education field
  • Repeating, documenting, or measuring a sales process
  • Converting existing industry contacts into new clients
  • Selling mostly based on price without focusing enough on value

Leadership Challenges

  • Holding independent resellers accountable to activities and results
  • Leading with product features and benefits rather than solving customer problems
  • Trying to build sales teams without relevant sales experience or third-party guidance

Instead of transactional sales and one-time deals, our clients can feel confident that with Topaz, their sales team is equipped with the tools necessary to build long-term relationships with clients. Our sales hiring, sales, and sales leadership training sessions are all designed to help employees lead, communicate, and close more deals in a sustainable, repeatable, and measurable way. The first step is acknowledging that these challenges exist but can be overcome.
