Courses › Sales skills, selling across cultures, and the objections per market
Objections Americans raise against a supplier from India, and the answer to each one
You risk losing the deal when American buyers raise concerns about your Indian supply.
The moment it goes wrong
A US client asks about FDA audit history. Your sales rep fumbles the answer, leading to a cancelled site visit and a lost order for three batches. This uncertainty costs your company millions in potential revenue and damages your reputation.
What changes after this course
Your team will confidently address common American concerns about quality and compliance. They will know how to present your company's strengths and FDA compliance record. You will hold a training record for your sales team, proving their readiness for the US market.
How long it takes, by who is listening
Nobody spends a day in a classroom. Every module exists in three lengths; a person takes the length their role needs, and every length ends with the same recorded questionnaire, so the training record is complete either way.
| Who takes this course | Length | Total time |
|---|---|---|
| Business development and export sales | Briefing | 1 h |
| Owner, CEO and board | Briefing | 1 h |
What is in the course, module by module
6 modules. Under each title are the three things the listener can do afterwards; the audio itself runs 10 to 50 minutes depending on the length chosen. Each module ends with a multiple-choice questionnaire whose result is recorded per person for your auditor. Your human-resources or quality manager decides what counts as passed and when a level is retaken.
