The Sales Board created the Action Selling curriculum and sales certification system. Action Selling is a full-scale, proactive communications process for planning, conducting, closing, and following up on a sale. It is based on a research-proven conceptual framework, skills, and knowledge that turn selling from an occupation into a profession. Action Selling applies not only to a company's sales force, but to virtually any customer contact situation. Thus, it offers a structure, skill set, and a common language that transforms the entire sales-and-service culture of an organization. To a degree unmatched by any other program, Action Selling merges relationship skills with selling skills in a way that is useful, productive, and easy to apply. Action Selling's certification procedure is the most accountable system for sales development.
