Courses › Sales skills, selling across cultures, and the objections per market
Objections Americans raise against a supplier from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Vietnam, and the answer to each one
Stop losing American deals because of unaddressed concerns about your operations.
The moment it goes wrong
A potential American client asks about your quality control and you hear silence on the phone. They move to another supplier, costing your company millions in lost revenue and damaging your reputation.
What changes after this course
Your sales team will confidently address American customer concerns about compliance and quality. You will receive a record of training completion for each team member, demonstrating their readiness to meet US market expectations.
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.
