Selling to Indian buyers when you are from Türkiye: culture, meetings, decision makers and the mistakes that lose deals
Close the deal with Indian buyers, or watch your Türkiye sales targets slip.
The moment it goes wrong
A critical tender for an active pharmaceutical ingredient is lost because your sales representative did not understand the Indian negotiation style. Weeks of effort vanish. This costs your company a significant contract and damages future market entry.
What changes after this course
After this course, your team will confidently engage Indian buyers and understand their decision-making processes. They will know how to prepare for meetings and what to expect during negotiations. You will receive a training completion record 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 20 min |
| Owner, CEO and board | Briefing | 1 h 20 min |
| Marketing and communications | Briefing | 1 h 20 min |
What is in the course, module by module
8 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.
