Foundational Sales

Our Foundational Sales curriculum is not sales 101, it is sales one-on-one.
This course covers every aspect of proactive and reactive sales strategy, emphasizing the right attitudes, perspectives, and acumen for first time sellers, or those senior sellers who want to understand how sales process and skills have progressed since their last course.
This course can be taken with a focus in hospitality, catering, active senior living, and enterprise sales.
