Common Manufacturing Sales Challenges

Understand the specific obstacles your sales team faces and how our training addresses them.

Manufacturing sales challenges

Deep Technical Product Knowledge

Manufacturing equipment sales require understanding specs, capabilities, output rates, and maintenance requirements. Reps must speak the language of plant managers and engineers.

High-Value Capital Equipment Justification

Industrial equipment involves six- and seven-figure investments. Sales teams must build compelling business cases with ROI, payback periods, and productivity improvements.

Long, Complex Buying Processes

Manufacturing deals take 6-18 months with multiple stakeholders: operations, engineering, procurement, finance, and C-suite. Navigating this complexity is challenging.
