Virtual Selling Skills: Video Sales Calls, Digital Sales Rooms and Remote Closing – Paris, 5–9 Jul 2027

Programme overview

Introduction:

Virtual selling now carries complex B2B deals that once depended on site visits, yet many sellers run video sales calls as if they were in the room: cameras off, long slide monologues, silent stakeholders and follow-up that stalls between meetings. Deals then slip because no one outside the call sees the buying case. This Core Concept course builds virtual selling skills for account and business development staff, from virtual discovery and on-camera presence to webcam demos, digital sales rooms, mutual action plans and e-signature closing. Each participant produces a Remote Deal Plan and a recorded mock video sales call.

Course Objectives:

• Prepare virtual discovery calls with a researched agenda, stakeholder hypotheses and a screen-share plan
• Deliver on camera with deliberate framing, lighting, audio, eye line and pacing that hold attention on video
• Structure and run virtual demos and presentations that invite interaction from every attendee
• Set up a digital sales room and a shared mutual action plan that keep the buying committee moving between calls
• Handle objections, negotiate and multi-thread absent stakeholders over video and asynchronous channels through to e-signature
• Run virtual account reviews and track remote selling activity and deal velocity to improve win rates

Target Audience:

• Sellers who own named opportunities and run most client meetings over video conferencing platforms
• Business development staff who open and progress new-client deals without regular site visits
• Key account staff who manage renewals, expansion and quarterly reviews with clients in other locations
• Pre-sales and solution consultants who deliver product demonstrations through screen sharing
• Customer success staff who hold commercial conversations with client stakeholders online

The week moves from the online buyer journey and the virtual seller's toolkit, through discovery calls, webcam presence and committee mapping, to demos, digital sales rooms, mutual action plans and asynchronous recaps, then to objections, video negotiation, multi-threading, e-signature closing and remote account reviews.
