Selling Skills for Beginners

Selling is one of the most useful skills you can have. Shop assistants, call centre agents, insurance consultants, car salespeople, estate agents and people who run their own small business all depend on it. Many people think selling means pushing customers to buy things they don't need. Good selling is the opposite: it means helping people find what really suits them, and being honest about it, so that they come back and send their friends. This course teaches you the sales process from start to finish: how to approach customers and build rapport, ask questions to understand what they need, learn and present your products using features, advantages and benefits, handle objections such as "It's too expensive", close the sale without pressure, and follow up so that customers return. It also explains the consumer laws that protect customers from unfair selling in South Africa. The course is fully online and self-paced. Each lesson has a short activity in your workbook. You finish with a practical sales task and a final assessment, and you receive a MetaCo Certificate of Completion that you can add to your CV.
