Introduction

Enterprise Sales is a broad term used to signify Business to Business selling, typically with the intent to engage customers in a long term relationship and provide high-value, customised solutions consisting of one or more products with a combination of value added services. This has 3 major components of territory management, account management and opportunity management.

By implication, this is a high-value (by ticket size) sales with a longer selling cycle, and covers the entire gamut of activities including the process of identifying the focus market segment with the targeted profile, lead generation through CRM tools, account mapping, need identification or hypothesis building using industry context and also includes the stages of proposition, negotiation and closure of sale. This program is extremely relevant and critical for participants who desire to do business development, solution selling, consultative selling, industrial selling, and IT sales or even those who are responsible for P&L, such as project managers.
