business acumen
“I never knew how to talk to executives without feeling nervous. This course gave me the business acumen to have real conversations and turn them into opportunities.” – Colton, SDR

Business Acumen

$79/per learner (USD)4.7/5.0Role: SDR/BDR, AE, AM, ISR, CSM

PURCHASE COURSE

It’s the sad truth that most college graduates or entry-level salespeople don’t join the workforce with the business acumen to explain the difference between a CRO and CFO, or ROI and BEP. This means they lack the sales acumen and confidence to start business conversations. This course helps you map out common roles in organizations, demystify common terms, and better understand different executive roles and the goals of their business.

Expected results: 
✔ Develop a strong foundation of business acumen for sales success
✔ Understand the roles and responsibilities of key executives
✔ Define common business terms and metrics with confidence
✔ Apply business knowledge to build credibility in conversations
✔ Engage in longer and more meaningful discussions with prospects
✔ Increase deal sizes by positioning as a trusted advisor
✔ Improve NPS and CSAT through consultative selling
✔ Boost sales confidence with a clear understanding of business structure
