How It Works

The TSE Sales Foundation program works because it’s designed with sellers’ long-term success in mind. Unlike traditional sales training programs that present information to sellers in a one-time setting, the TSE Sales Foundation program engages sellers using repetition and practice techniques that help them internalize the principles they learn. Unlike other sales training which is forgotten within days of delivery, TSE Sales Foundation increases retention and ensures readiness for B2B sellers by involving them in the sales training process and building lasting habits.

STEP 1: Watch Modules

Each week sellers are assigned specific modules to study, where they will watch the required videos, do the designated tasks. This should take no more than 30-60mins each week. We recommend watching a few videos each day.

STEP 2: Community

Sellers report on their progress to their assigned accountability partner, and engage with others in the cohort to expand the learning process beyond their own work. The community of other experience sellers is also a great sounding board.

STEP 4: Implementation

Sellers will apply what they’ve learned to their own sales efforts each week. This real-world practice will solidify the principles, build lasting habits and internalize the sales training so as to maintain continual results.

STEP 3: Group Sessions

Sellers will participate in a live, 90-minute instructor-led cohort training session each week. The sales training will provide additional insights beyond the modules, clarify principles from each session, and demonstrate techniques that will help sellers develop confidence in their knowledge and abilities.

Length of TSE Sales Foundation Program

TSE Sales Foundation program increases the likelihood of long-term success by methodically teaching sales basics over an extended period of time. Instead of participating in a short sprint or a one-day workshop, sellers dissect the sales content in small amounts over the course of seven weeks. This ensures that sales professionals have opportunities to practice what they learn in a positive environment and gain feedback from experienced coaches and sellers. Over the years we have seen this type of learning model offer the best ROI for both the seller and their company.

This particular sales training program lasts 7 weeks. Review the syllabus below for a more thorough breakdown of the content.
