Companies that are successfully selling online are ones who have sales professionals that are skilled at making themselves part of the purchaser’s journey rather than the guide. This journey usually starts with an online search followed by reading reviews or asking their friends or followers about the product or service through social media.

By providing your salespeople with access to first-class online sales training services, they will learn how to insert themselves into that journey by becoming your prospect’s “travel companion.” They will also learn valuable modern selling skills such as how to stay part of the journey after the sale.
