Sales Training

Leveraging its extensive cross-industry experience, business consulting background and best practice methodologies, Carpe Diem has created a suite of sales improvement programs to assist individuals and organisations build valuable client relationships and improve their sales performance.

Fresh approach. Unique outcomes.

Carpe Diem trainers are seasoned sales professionals; their experience at the highest levels in the organisations they worked in is further complemented with broad business consulting experience. This means that the trainers can readily explain the nuances of selling at different levels in different organisations in different industries – and further allows for the course material to be customised to reflect business realities.

Carpe Diem courses will NOT teach you the “101 Great Closing Techniques”, or provide you with an elaborate mechanistic process to follow.

Instead, the courses focus on providing unique outcomes which include :

  • How to identify new opportunities well before the competition – and in fact sometimes well before the customer is aware of the opportunity
  • How to sell to the most senior business decision makers
  • How to continually measure your progress in the sales opportunity – to realise as early as possible that you are starting to waste your time
  • How to establish an entrenched position as a trusted business advisor.

Discover the foundation course; ‘The Essence of Selling Solutions’.

Proven framework. Customised programs.

Each course is structured around a proven framework however no two courses are the same. Carpe Diem extends its participative consulting approach to each training engagement and will customise the course content to meet specific business and individual requirements.

"Within two weeks, we had already applied the principles we learned, resulting in a decision to withdraw from a large deal we were never going to win and allowing us to focus our resources on more lucrative opportunities."
Roger Phare, TechnologyOne

"The uptake of Carpe Diem's courses continues to be impressive. The training they have developed provides undeniable value in leading our partners to achieve successful solutions-based selling,"
