Selling to Latin American buyers when you are from Türkiye: culture, meetings, decision makers and the mistakes that lose deals
Your next Latin American deal hinges on understanding their buying culture.
The moment it goes wrong
A crucial sales meeting with a Latin American buyer goes silent after a cultural misstep. Your sales team loses trust and a potential multi-million dollar contract. Weeks of effort and travel budgets are wasted, directly impacting your quarterly revenue goals.
What changes after this course
Your team will confidently build rapport and close deals faster in Latin America. They will understand buyer priorities and avoid common mistakes that derail negotiations. You will receive a comprehensive training record and completion certificates for all participating sales professionals.
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.
