Welcome to the Inbound Sales Certification! If you're in sales, this course is for you. During the next couple of hours, you're going to learn everything you need to know to thrive in the modern sales landscape. We'll start off with an Introduction to Inbound Sales, where we'll explain the inbound sales philosophy and why you need it. We'll also give an overview of a four-phase inbound sales strategy that can be applied to your current sales process, no matter what you're selling or who you're selling it to. The four phases are to identify, connect, explore, and advise. Each of these phases gets its own lesson.
