Excellence in Inside Sales

Identify and Seize Sales Opportunities with Every Customer Interaction

Empower Inside Sales professionals with the skills and confidence to convert prospects into customers, solve problems, identify and seize upsell/cross-sell opportunities, and build strong, profitable relationships. Learn a powerful customer-focused communication strategy that optimizes the outcome of every customer interaction. Employ a simple, flexible format for uncovering additional business opportunities as a natural outcome of conversations with customers or prospects.

Our proprietary models and straightforward frameworks allow client-specific customization while retaining the integrity of our proven content. Excellence in Inside Sales can be taught as a stand-alone program or as a component of other Carew sales or customer service training. It is instructor-led and can be delivered live onsite, live virtually, or in blended sessions. Regardless of the delivery method, Carew facilitators create magic in the classroom by leveraging a variety of engaging learning strategies and modalities to educate, motivate and inspire.
