Sales Micro-Seminar - Filling Your Sales Funnel

Sales Micro-Seminar Series at DeVry University’s Edina Campus

 Effective Learning for Growth periodically offers a preview / review of selling fundamentals – with a series of “sales micro-seminars.”  These are just two hours each, and introduce the fundamentals of a whole selling process – a process that’s proven effective thousands of times nationally.

These showcase some of the same content that Effective Learning for Growth applies and adapts for sales coaching and training.  The coaching and training have much more structure, practice, application, and accountability, of course.

Here’s what each covers, and when it’s offered:
