Course Description

Regardless of your role, everyone is a salesperson. When you work for a company, whenever you interact with someone outside your organization, you represent the company. That makes every single person, regardless of his or her job title, a salesperson of sorts. Non-sales selling is any activity that has the potential to directly or indirectly influence client satisfaction and the customer’s perception of offerings. It could be indirect like crafting a sales brochure or as direct as returning a call to a sales representative with vital client information.

Non-sales selling, in contrast to traditional sales selling encompasses consultative and suggestive sales tactics and approaches that uncover potential needs of both external and internal stakeholders. In addition, non-sales selling also involves advocating for a direction by selling yourself and your ideas and persuading others within your organization to provide their resources (time, budget, and support). Many of us in the workforce engage in non-sales selling daily. Our course will examine the relevance and importance of non-sales selling in the contemporary business world.
