Our current operating environment demands a shift in the way we engage with and sell to customers. We no longer have the benefit of meeting and connecting face to face – options we perhaps took for granted in developing relationships and trust.

The way we prepare for, engage in, and follow up on customer dialogues and selling opportunities must adapt. Sales professionals must now focus on developing specific skills to sell in a virtual environment.

Learning to sell virtually requires a significant shift in the use of traditional selling skills to create a more engaging and connected buyer experience. People behave differently in a virtual setting. They don’t engage in the same way and are more easily distracted. The artificial and often informal nature of selling over video or a platform like Zoom creates a divide between traditional selling methods that rely on formality and the natural connectedness people feel when sitting face-to-face.

The Sales BootCamp Academy’s new Virtual Selling training program equips salespeople with skills and virtual selling techniques to increase credibility, create connections, foster openness, and build trust in a virtual setting to drive momentum and win sales opportunities.
