Becoming a Sales Person – Online Professional Development Course
Every business, product, and organization depends on one essential function: sales. Without sales, businesses cannot grow, employees cannot be hired, and products cannot reach customers. This 2-credit online course introduces educators to the fundamentals of sales and explores how communication, psychology, trust, and decision-making shape the modern business world — equipping teachers to guide students toward a realistic, empowering understanding of what a career in sales actually looks like.
Rather than relying on pressure or persuasion tactics, this course reframes sales around three core principles: Communicate clearly and listen carefully, Connect by building trust and understanding customer needs, and Create Value by helping people solve problems and make confident decisions. Teachers will explore how people make decisions, examine different sales careers and compensation models, and develop practical communication skills that transfer to nearly every profession — from business and entrepreneurship to education and healthcare.
