A complete Field Sales Skills course for improving practical Sales performance in the field.
This course gives students a clear, structured approach to modern field selling, from understanding the role and reality of Sales work to managing commercial priorities across a territory. Students explore how to segment customers, target accounts, plan routes, organize call cycles, and use CRM as a helpful tool without letting it control the day.
The course then moves into prospecting and access, showing students how to secure field meetings, work with gatekeepers and front-line contacts, and qualify opportunities before making a visit. With Professor Charles Knight, students learn how to prepare for high-value customer meetings, build credibility quickly, ask discovery questions that reveal commercial need, and recognize buying signals through better listening and note-taking.
Students also strengthen their value communication by learning how to present benefits without overwhelming the buyer, use demonstrations and field proof points, and respond to price, timing, authority, and competitor objections. The closing lessons focus on gaining clear commitments, setting next steps, following up effectively, and protecting momentum after each meeting.
By the end of Field Sales Skills, students will have a more practical Sales routine for prospecting, discovery, meetings, objections, and closing. They will be better prepared to manage their territory, hold more productive customer conversations, and turn field activity into measurable account growth.
