VAR Training Packages- What is in the Business Readiness package?

I want to follow on to provide some additional insight as to the VAR training....there are 3 packages:  Business Readiness, Licensing, and Selling with Microsoft.

I want to focus just on what's in Business Readiness.  Here are the training classes ( about half of these are in the most taken training this year...hint...solid training)

Training includes:

· 5 Critical Skills for Maximizing Sales Performance in a Tough Economy

· Handling Tough Objections in a Tight Economy

· How to Sell the Way Your Customers Want to Buy

You can find this training in the Learning Plan Tool by searching under Business Readiness:  www.microsoftlearningplans.com
