Do webmasters need sales training?

Sales and marketing are much different skill sets. If you work directly with your clients, then some level of sales knowledge would prove quite helpful.

If you want to make money, you need some kind of training. Formal or baptism of fire. Checking out the most recommend sales manuals can't hurt, but joining a mastermind group or joint venturing with an experienced marketer is best.

Yes, sales training is definitely needed.  Marketing, I "think" most web designers have.  Unfortunately this is sort of a broad topic.  I equate sales to direct contact and dialogue with a person vs marketing which could be my site, to emails to whatever I do to appeal to the masses. 

Of course, the sales training should be essential for webmasters because it will help them to deal with different scenarios. And I am sure that a webmaster with hands on knowledge of sales can achieve the desired results.   

The only people who need "sales training" are those who sell person-to-person. There's a huge difference between "selling" and "order taking."

"Selling" is the art of persuading a prospective customer to buy on a person-to-person basis. Lots of people hate the idea of this.

"Sales copy" is a misnomer - anything you write is really marketing.

well it is a condition, i think we should better know about sales
and how to convert visitor into buyer

I think the real point is does sales training mean person-to-person talking/emailing, or writing to the whole public as sales copy.

I don't believe you can be taught the skill of selling, that being said there are few techniques here and there that can make a difference to convincing the potential client

Yeah,  sales training is very useful for all.

Right. If you are freelancing, you need to wear many hats, including salesperson. That is just part of the business.

YES. SALES TRAINING is very important. because basically what we do is promote our business in order to earn money.
with sales training, i think being rich online is one step closer.. what do you guys think about it?

Do you lose deals because you timore sales skills? Is marketing your focus and you have trouble closing deals? Is the market too competitive to go after anything but referrals?

My opinion is that everybody would have to take sales skills courses. However if you are a good webmaster ... the success of the site will force you to ... at least read how to do it.

Sounds good.
