Hello, All.

 

I'm Elijah Paasewe, a certified sales intern at Gtext Homes Dubai Real Estate. I built the passion for this career after I got to realize that everything around us is about sales. And it has high earnings and gets you to network.

 

I'm an environmental engineer by profession with over 4yrs work experience in field inspections. 

 

I'm a Liberian by nationality, but a current resident in the UAE.

 

I choose to take advantage of this course because I want to be that excellent salesperson without a border.

 

Regard

Elijah Paasewe

Hello, 

My name is Chukwudi Nwokike and you can also call me CeeKay. I currently work in the services industry selling digital marketing services and products to enterprise clients. I am the Chief Marketing Officer of Axon Analytics Limited a 10 Year old Technology Company out of Lagos, Nigeria. I have worked in mixture of marketing and sales roles for the past 7 years. 
If I could think of one tip to close more deals, it will be to mapping stakeholders during the sales processes. These actors include end users of the platform, team leads, managers who sign off on the budget. The more comfortable the stakeholders are the longer the relationship will last with the client. You will be one step closer to turning your customers into advocates.

Hello Everyone!

MY name is Betsi MCGraw Smith, and I was forced due to family obligations to move back home to my small town in Mississippi. As a result of COVID, of course more and more businesses are hiring remote workers. This is great news for me, as I can utilize my education and experiences working for large organizations to once again land a job that utilizes my skills and pays far more than any local job could even fathom. Accordingly, I'm taking these courses to enhance my skills and to add them to my LinkedIn account. The more certifications the better chance I have of landing a job in which I know I will excel. I have a multitude of sales experience, but I can't claim to have online sales experience as of yet. But being able to show that I have the skills to do so will help employers take a chance on me.

Hello everyone, i am Akpobome Ejiro. I am a business consultant and brand Developer. The founder and CEO at Simply Brandit; A brand development company based in Nigeria. I have an experience of over a decade in marketing and sales but we need to evolve consistently in the every dynamic social system to ensure sustainability. One tip i can recommend to close more deals is to be more human and less robot. i understand there is the wave of automation amd aking things easy with everyone behind screens, try to have and feel some real heart felt, real- time conversation. Bear in mind that people no longer buy product or services; "people buy people"

Strong agree @igod - I truly beleive you're right on the point about being more human, less robot. We all have to figure out when the right time is to let the technology support the human and when the human should support the technology.

Hi everyone! I have been a career educator in Adult Education for 35 years and have earned a Masters in Instructional Technology. I was browsing ads for different career options for people with experience in training others how to use or incorporate technology in different fields and came across a position described as "Partnership Enablement" and frankly, I had no idea what that meant. Some Googling and I found this group. I am mostly wondering if my experience in adult education has provided me with enough transferable skills to be able to present myself as a candidate for positions in Sales Enablement.

Thank you for reading!

Hi there Barry 🙋‍♀️ HubSpot describes sales enablement as the processes, content, and technology that empowers sales teams to sell more efficiently at a higher velocity. Often there's a lot of teaching sales, service and marketing teams to think differently and to adopt new technology and process, so I'd say yes! Apply for some sales enablement roles. To set yourself up for success, I'd suggest getting certified too: https://academy.hubspot.com/courses/sales-enablement
