#### How to learn the art of sales
From day one, you join in the commercial process. You make sure valuable appointments with potential customers are scheduled. How you do that? You largely decide that yourself.
This means, among other things, that you:
- Schedule appointments with potential customers by phone, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, or conversations at events.
- Ask the right questions and listen carefully to what is really going on.
- Think along about how we can make appointments smarter and better.
You learn how organizations make decisions, when something is an opportunity and when it is not. As a result, you quickly become better and more confident in your conversations.
#### How you grow step by step as a sales manager
We divide the Sales Traineeship into two phases. This way, you develop yourself step by step toward the role of sales manager.
**Phase 1 – Getting acquainted & doing**
- Your focus is on setting up appointments with prospects.
- You get to know AFAS, our software, and our customers.
- You work on lead generation and building your network.
- You follow training to develop your commercial skills, such as conversation management and questioning techniques.
**Phase 2 – Deepening & applying**
- You accompany experienced sales colleagues.
- You develop soft skills, such as negotiation and conversation techniques.
- You learn how to give a strong demo.
- You apply everything directly in real conversations.
After the traineeship, you are ready for the next step: **scoring your first deal as a sales manager.** And yes, we celebrate that moment.
