What are the objectives and methods for assessing the skills acquired?

Building lasting, value-added customer relationships

Learning to develop long-term relationships based on trust is a key factor in BtoB sales performance. This training course will help you develop a strategic partner posture, capable of building solid, long-term relationships with key customers.

You'll learn how to strengthen your credibility, turn your reputation into a real asset, and broaden your scope of intervention with high-potential customers. The aim: to capitalize on existing relationships, by mobilizing all internal and external partners, to create an effective and lasting network of influence.

Progress is monitored throughout the program thanks to a structured, action-oriented approach that includes:

  • A self-assessment grid completed at the start and end of the training course. Participants evaluate their confidence level for each targeted skill. This step-by-step assessment allows them to immediately see their progress and areas for improvement.
  • Operational objectives defined at the end of each sequence. Participants identify the specific actions they intend to implement, ensuring the transfer of skills to their job.
  • Regular practical application: case studies, guided exercises, simulations, and role-playing to verify real understanding and lasting mastery of skills.

This assessment tool provides a clear and measurable overview of the participant's progress, both in terms of their level of proficiency and their confidence in applying their skills in a professional setting.
