In-house and on-site across Pretoria
Most Pretoria businesses we work with prefer on-site delivery — a facilitator comes to your offices and trains your sales team together. It keeps travel costs down, gets everyone aligned on the same process, and lets us use your real products, pricing and objections as the working material.
We deliver in-house anywhere in the greater Tshwane area, including:
- Centurion — a fast-growing commercial node with strong tech, finance and B2B service firms along the N1 corridor.
- Hatfield — close to embassies, the University of Pretoria and a dense cluster of professional and public-sector offices.
- Menlyn — Pretoria’s retail and corporate hub, home to Menlyn Maine and a concentration of head offices and financial-services teams.
Prefer to train off-site? We can also run the course at a venue near you, or remotely via live online sessions for teams split across branches or working hybrid. You choose the format; the content stays the same.
Why Pretoria teams invest in sales training
Pretoria’s economy is shaped by government, state-owned entities and the public-sector hub of Tshwane — which makes selling here distinctive. Vendors and service providers in the capital are often selling into:
- Government departments and municipalities, where buying runs through tenders, procurement panels and long approval chains.
- State-owned entities (SOEs) with formal supplier requirements, compliance checks and committee-based decisions.
- The professional services, ICT, security and facilities firms that supply this public-sector ecosystem and compete hard on relationships and responsiveness.
Selling into this environment rewards reps who can manage long sales cycles, navigate multiple decision-makers, write and present proposals clearly, and build trust over months rather than minutes. Our Pretoria sales training is shaped around exactly that — not generic “always be closing” scripts that fall flat with a procurement committee.
What the course teaches
The programme builds a complete, repeatable sales process your team can apply across both private-sector and public-sector deals:
- Prospecting and pipeline building — finding the right buyers and keeping the funnel full.
- Questioning and needs analysis — uncovering what the client actually needs before pitching.
- Handling objections — responding to price, timing and “we already have a supplier” with confidence.
- Presenting value — positioning your offer against competitors and tender requirements.
- Managing long, multi-stakeholder cycles — staying front-of-mind through procurement and approval stages.
- Closing and follow-up — asking for the business and securing the next step.
- CRM and discipline — tracking activity so nothing slips.
Content is adjusted to your sector, your average deal size and your team’s experience level. New reps get the fundamentals; experienced sellers sharpen technique and consistency.
Who it is for
This course suits:
- Sales reps and account managers selling B2B or into the public sector.
- Internal and counter sales staff who handle inbound enquiries.
- Technical specialists who have moved into a selling role.
- Business owners and managers who want a consistent sales approach across the team.
- New hires who need to get productive quickly.
Groups can be mixed-level; we adapt examples and exercises so everyone leaves with something they can use.
Accreditation
Sales training is a practical, facilitator-led skills programme; delegates receive a BOTI certificate of completion (this is not an accredited qualification). It is built for immediate skills uplift rather than for a unit-standard outcome. Need accredited training? Ask about BOTI’s QCTO-accredited programmes in related areas such as the Retail Supervisor occupational qualification and New Venture Creation — BOTI is a QCTO Quality Partner and an accredited training provider (Services SETA 12582, MICT SETA ACC/2016/07/0045).
Funding: Skills Development budget and BBBEE points
Sales training is a smart use of your Skills Development budget and can strengthen your B-BBEE scorecard:
- Employers paying the Skills Development Levy (SDL) — 1% of payroll — can recover a portion through structured training and Workplace Skills Plan reporting.
- On the B-BBEE scorecard, the skills development target is measured as 6% of the leviable amount spent on training for the relevant categories, contributing meaningful points.
- Training your team in-house is an efficient way to put that budget to work, since one facilitator develops your whole sales force at once.
This is general guidance — your SETA, skills development facilitator or B-BBEE verification agency can confirm how it applies to your business.
