Teaches active listening skills for sales professionals to build trust and improve sales conversations

Original Description

Master Active Listening is an intermediate-level course designed for sales professionals who want to build trust, uncover real buyer needs, and improve the effectiveness of their sales conversations. Rather than focusing on what to say, the course emphasizes how to listen and explains why disciplined listening behaviors influence buyer confidence, credibility, and engagement. Across two focused lessons, learners examine core active-listening behaviors, including paraphrasing, asking purposeful open-ended questions, and summarizing. Learners explore how these behaviors signal respect and understanding during buyer interactions, then apply them by analyzing a recorded discovery call and capturing the buyer’s stated needs in clear, structured written summaries. Through Coach-led reflections, short videos, curated readings, hands-on practice, and quizzes, learners build practical listening habits that support clearer call notes, stronger follow-ups, and better alignment with buyer priorities. By the end of the course, learners will be able to identify effective active-listening behaviors and produce concise, buyer-centered summaries based strictly on what the client said.
