SLIM unveils ‘Licence to Sell’ training program

‘License to Sell’ (LTS) is a program developed by SLIM Trainings to produce trained sales staff to the job market. The core objective of the program is to provide 360-degree skill development to sales staff, which will accelerate their performance. The program has been designed with the right combination of theory and practical, and is conducted by professional trainers with different experience levels from varied industries. 

Ideal for young sales personnel, sales support function staff and freshers in marketing. ‘License to Sell’ provides a sound knowledge for sales teams. This may ensure the achievement of company short-term and long-term goals, confirming the sustainability and the viability of the organisation in the competitive business environment.

LTS contains 11 trending modules in sales where each module works independently from the other. The modules cover Personal Grooming and Personal Branding, Creating a Winning Attitude, Developing Confidence, Leverage Technology for Better Prospecting, Productivity, Multitasking and Time Management, Social Media for Sales, Meeting the Client and Sales Presentation Skills, Handling Objections, Closing Techniques, Building business relationship and Basic Finance for Sales.

This workshop develops the soft skills required for sales while the systematic approach helps to nurture the confidence levels of the sales staff. ‘License to Sell’ makes Sales much more interesting, covering all the above modules in just 11 weeks.

Speaking about the program, SLIM President Pradeep Edward said, “Sales professionals are the brand ambassadors of their respective companies and we are no longer satisfied with producing conventional sales people for Sri Lanka. With this programme, we will produce sales people who can excel and shine in any market in the country and abroad. ‘License to Sell’ has been designed by SLIM Trainings to spark a transformative change in sales people by identifying the gaps in their knowledge and skills before directly addressing them, ultimately helping the participants to become undisputed masters of Sales.”

“Unlike conventional study courses, ‘License to Sell’ is a practical training programme, which focuses on productivity, multitasking, time management and everything from modern tools of sales growth such as branding and social media to traditional aspects such as personal grooming and customer relationships. We are confident that it will produce sales professionals who would strengthen the Sri Lankan companies and brands, and elevate the local sales field, where SLIM is the only institute to conduct a Sales workshop of this nature,” added SLIM CEO/Executive Director Sanath Senanayake.

The Sri Lanka institute of Marketing (SLIM) is the National body for Marketing with a presence of nearly 50 years in the country.
