Diversity Selling is Sales Training Program designed to address sales in a new global business environment. As technology evolves, the world becomes smaller and smaller, allowing us to interact with people from all over the globe. To take full advantage, we must develop the ability to establish meaningful business relationships that transcend race, sex, age, background and culture. Diversity Selling sales training helps to cultivate this skill set by incorporating social sensitivity and cultural understanding in to the sales process. Through individual coaching, small business training, corporate programs, seminars, lectures, and keynotes, J.D. Garnier uses Diversity Selling to revolutionize sales.
