PS I - Relationship Driven Professional Sales

This course will not just teach you about selling, it will teach you how to sell. This experiential learning-based course will provide you with best practice models of selling.

PS II - Negotiation in Business and Sales

You may not realize it, but negotiations are a constant part of life. In business, negotiations are key parts of a corporation’s strategy. In your personal life, negotiations play the same role - you negotiate which movie to watch with your friends or what apartment to rent with your partner. This course will introduce you to the concepts behind negotiation and provide opportunities to practice and develop your own negotiating style. This online class has optional live sessions.

PS III - Sales Leadership

Effective sales leadership requires a mastery of the “hard” analytical skills as well as the “soft” skills for effective management and coaching. This course will explore key sales and management concepts, and give you the opportunity to put them into practice. By the end of this course, you will be able to coach salespeople and excel as a sales leader. This online class has optional live sessions.

PS IV - Advanced Relationship-Driven Professional Selling

You've already learned the fundamentals of effective selling. This course will help you hone your sales skills and take them to the next level by teaching you how to think through the sales process as a master planner, listener, negotiator, and partner.
