P1 PLUS CLASSES START SEPTEMBER 14TH |
|
One of the most important parts of any sale is doing a great Customer Needs Analysis (CNA). Since COVID, we have developed a new list of CNA questions that’s helping sellers close more deals with clients. We believe it is important to stay on top of trends so we can provide the best real world training possible!
One way we do this with P1 Learning’s live assist training program, which is designed to help new sellers (two-year's of experience or less) obtain the skills they need to be successful in this new world in just 7 weeks.
