STAR - Sales Competency Training System

A Breakthrough in Training

The STAR Sales Competency Training System includes cutting-edge methods and tools for competency development. Unlike sales training seminars, which target knowledge and skills only, this system focuses on 20 core competencies, essential to all salespeople. STAR is available in English, German, Portuguese, and Spanish.

The system approach utilized in the STAR Competency Training System is firmly grounded in research on competency development and performance improvement. Each of the five modules covers four competencies from the STAR Sales Assessment. Participants prepare for workshops with self-study programs on CD-ROMs. During the workshops, participants explore success factors and gain a thorough understanding of customer needs from the buyer's standpoint. They learn how to observe, evaluate and fine-tune behavior through exercises, case studies, real-life simulations, and role plays.
