BBI will customize training to fit your needs. We work with your sales team and managers in person or virtually, as the situation allows.  We specialize in teaching your salespeople to understand the needs of your clients and to develop strategies to meet those needs.  Our online training modules are designed to be presented in one-hour segments to facilitate learning.  These can be done live with your staff through Zoom.  When on premise with your staff, we combine sessions to create half days or full days of training.  Almost everything we do is customized to your needs.  We have over 40 sessions designed for all levels of sales professionals. 

Virtual monthly sales training session done live with your staff.
