Courses › Sales skills, selling across cultures, and the objections per market
Objections Indian buyers raise against a supplier from Brazil and Latin America, and the answer to each one
Stop losing Indian pharma deals to predictable buyer objections.
The moment it goes wrong
Your sales team works hard to open doors in India, but then the calls stop. The Indian buyer raises a concern about your quality certificates, or your lead times, and your team doesn't have a clear answer. This silence means lost revenue and wasted travel budgets.
What changes after this course
Your team will confidently address specific Indian buyer concerns about quality, logistics, and compliance. They will explain how your processes meet local expectations, fostering trust and securing agreements. You will receive a full training record and individual completion certificates for all participants.
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.
