Sales Training for the Agricultural Industry
Modern sales training techniques, such as using virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR respectively) are revolutionising the sales training industry, with various fields of application.
We’ve seen a disruption in multiple industries through VR training such as in the healthcare, manufacturing and educating industries. Through this period of change and growth, businesses are looking for ways to use immersive technologies to train their sales teams and become industry leaders.

Key strategies for training with agricultural teams
A key strategy for training with agricultural teams includes scenario-based learning, which focuses on negotiation skills and problem solving. Your agricultural sales team must be able to address common, industry specific problems and navigate their way through hurdles with customers to secure sales.
This can be done through virtual reality training which facilitates lifelike sales scenarios for individuals in your sales team using AI customers in a virtual environment. This method can be personalised for individual sales members and made bespoke to your business.
Another way in which VR sales training within the agricultural sector can be effective is actually through product demonstrations within your team. Efficient sales teams actually have a depth of knowledge around what they are selling. They can provide a solution to a customer’s problem through educated and thorough advice.
The complex machinery involved in agriculture is not always easy to understand, especially for sales representatives who may not actually have a background in this field. VR allows sales teams to understand the products they have to sell at a level which increases customer satisfaction and retention thanks to adequate problem solving.
