Professional Diploma in
Strategic Sales
Leeds Metropolitan University and Advance are proud to announce the first accredited Diploma in Strategic Sales. We believe that this fills a critical gap in todays' commercial environment
Sales is the lifeblood of every commercial organisation - it sits at the top of most board’s agendas. But surprisingly, the majority of organisations are relatively poor at doing what matters most – selling their products and services. Yet without sales there is no business.
The Professional Diploma in Strategic Sales sets out to give sales people the skills and expertise they need to increase their personal performance and to help their companies prosper. Advance and its industry partners have been closely involved in the development of the Diploma to ensure tangible results are quickly reaped and are more meaningful to everyday business. The course will help salespeople become more business focussed and will bring a much needed level of professionalism and status to the selling sector in the UK.
Overall, it will increase individual sales performance and provide all the necessary tools to enable survival, stimulate growth and be able to lead through and beyond the recession.
