  • Are you struggling to identify new accounts?
  • Are you struggling to close sales?
  • Is the competition making it harder for you to differentiate your offerings?
  • Frustrated when you can see the value in your solution but your customer cannot?
  • Want to learn how top sales people succeed?

Attending one of AICC's new Renewing Your Sales Force workshops will help you close more accounts NOW. Our three different levels combine the excellent Huthwaite SPIN® Selling and Advanced SPIN® Selling program content with unique corrugated industry case studies and group exercises. You'll develop the specific skills and strategies you need to shorten your sales cycle, strengthen your customer relationships, and deliver real, measurable value to your customer.

Whether you work in corrugated, folding carton, paper packaging, or you supply these industries…this training is for you. You’ll learn how to:

  • Plan for a successful sales call that moves the sale forward.
  • Ask the right questions.
  • Avoid objections by offering true needs-based solutions.
  • Develop real customer needs that motivate your customers to buy,
  • and much more.

AICC's Renewing Your Sales Force is so much more than a training course. It's the first step to real sales performance change. During this course, you will learn Huthwaite's own training models developed after years of sales research AND you will acquire hands-on practice of those skills. The online program includes online instruction, working with a trained Huthwaite facilitator to assist in completing the work, and a coaching guide for sales managers. For the two on-site programs, there will be group interaction, a hallmark of AICC training, and development of post-training action plans. In addition, participants will be able to use the reinforcement tools Huthwaite offers through its website. This training is also priced 35% less than generic industry sales programs.
