When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?

When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

Sales professionals need a system for producing sales results. Logical Selling: A Practical Approach for Increasing Sales Results provides that framework and the tools to make it your own.

In this course, you will identify what makes your product stand out and plan a strategy for reaching the customers who need it. You will also examine the stages of each sale—from finding the opportunity to realizing the deal—and use them to create win-win situations for you and your customer. Finally, you will build the interpersonal and negotiating skills to form lasting business relationships from these successes. This course is designed for people transitioning into a career in professional sales, especially business-to-business, and for existing sales professionals who need to develop more structured skills for effectiveness at all stages of the sales opportunity. In this course, you will: establish the unique value of your product to customers; manage a sales territory for the most productive use of your time; gain customer interest through effective prospecting, needs analysis, and presentation of a solution; secure customer commitment by creating the right proposal, handling objections, and closing the sale; and apply negotiating skills throughout the selling opportunity to create win-win situations.
