Frequently Asked Questions
No. Salesmindset is an independent sales training company and is not affiliated with a SETA. Our clients choose us because of the measurable improvement in sales performance, leadership capability and commercial results rather than accreditation alone. If SETA accreditation is a procurement requirement within your organisation, please let us know and we’ll discuss the available options.
There is no minimum. We regularly deliver the course for individual Sales Managers through to leadership teams of 15+ delegates.
For organisations with only one or two Sales Managers, we also offer scheduled public courses throughout the year.
Every organisation is different, so we don’t guarantee specific sales results. However, participants typically leave with practical frameworks to improve coaching effectiveness, accountability, forecasting accuracy, pipeline management, performance conversations, sales planning and the overall performance of their sales teams. The objective is to equip Sales Managers with the skills, tools and confidence to lead higher-performing sales teams over the long term.
Unlike general leadership courses, which focus on broad management principles, the Salesmindset Sales Management & Leadership course is designed specifically for professionals responsible for leading and developing sales teams.
While effective leadership remains an important component, this course focuses on the practical skills required to improve sales performance. Participants learn how to coach salespeople more effectively, build accountability, manage sales pipelines, improve forecasting accuracy, conduct impactful one-on-one coaching sessions, analyse sales performance, develop top performers, address underperformance and create a high-performance sales culture.
The course also integrates high-performance mindset principles, helping Sales Managers lead with greater confidence, resilience and emotional intelligence while inspiring higher levels of commitment and performance from their teams.
Rather than focusing on leadership theory alone, this practical, results-oriented course equips Sales Managers with proven tools, frameworks and strategies they can implement immediately to improve both individual and team performance.
Absolutely. Every organisation has its own sales strategy, sales process, management challenges and commercial objectives. Before the training, we work closely with you to understand your business, products or services, target market, sales methodology, organisational structure and the specific challenges facing your Sales Managers.
This enables us to tailor the course content, practical exercises, case studies and discussions to reflect your business and the day-to-day realities your Sales Leaders face. The result is a highly relevant learning experience that participants can immediately apply within their own teams.
Whether your organisation operates in financial services, manufacturing, engineering, technology, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, telecommunications, logistics or another industry, the course can be customised to align with your objectives and maximise its impact.
Yes, we provide a digital colour certificate of completion set up and ready for print.
Absolutely! You will get a hard copy (only) of the slide booklets for the two days training.
