Courses › Sales skills, selling across cultures, and the objections per market
Objections Indian buyers raise against a supplier from Korea, and the answer to each one
Your next Indian deal will not stall over preventable objections.
The moment it goes wrong
Your Korean sales team receives repeated rejections from Indian pharma companies. Projects are delayed, or orders go to competitors who better understand local concerns. This means lost revenue and wasted time spent on unproductive sales cycles.
What changes after this course
Your team will confidently address common Indian buyer concerns, turning objections into agreements. They will understand specific cultural and regulatory expectations, closing deals faster. You will have a clear training record for all participating sales personnel.
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.
