Leading the Sales Process: From Strategy to Closed Deals (Online / Remote)
1Summary
A sales team's results rarely come down to individual talent alone — they depend on how well the entire process is managed, from the first customer contact to the final follow-up. This is the core idea behind the Leading the Sales Process training course from the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy.
Over five intensive days, participants explore the full sales cycle alongside the leadership and digital skills required to run it: building customer relationships, negotiating and closing, reading performance data, and using modern tools — including AI-driven sales technology — to keep teams motivated and results measurable.
