FMCG SALES TRAINING PROGRAM

FMCG Sales Training is a type of functional training that focuses on building skills that help participants build superior execution capability. The success of any FMCG company lies in great execution in the market. So, more and more FMCG companies in India are focussing on delivering FMCG sales training that is completely customized for the organization, its product category and its processes.

The FMCG Sales Training Programs in India are Usually Designed For 3 Levels:

  1. Sales team who books orders from the outlets and is responsible only for secondary sales. They are called SRs or DSRs in most organizations.
  2. Sales team who are responsible for secondary as well as primary from the distributors. They are called Sales Officers and in smaller companies, they might be designated as ASMs.
