Sales Training Required To IT Newcomer

Q: Does anyone know of any genuinely useful training sites for a newcomer to IT? I have some sales experience, but very little Basic IT knowledge. I am curently working for a small company & have so far looked at Powerpoint presentations for SBS 2003. Someone must be familiar with some sites which could assist me in my quest for knowledge...

A:-the microsoft partner site are you guys a partner? They also have the certified small business specialist - that should give you a good idea about features available on sbs2003. -If you are looking at administering Windows Small Business Server, I recommend that you go for a Microsoft Official Course. There is one being offered by any Microsoft Certified Partner for Learning Solutions entitled Designing, Deploying, and Managing a Network Solution for the Small- and Medium-sized Business. This is a 3-day course which offers you both the luxury of a hands-on lab and a trainer you can always ask. If you are looking at IT Sales training, I recommend that you learn what particular product you need to sell. Like if you are selling hardware, know the basics of how it works and how it affects IT in general. If you have read books like The Secrets of Closing the Sale by Zig Ziglar and Guerilla Selling, the key thing in sales is knowing your product and knowing your customers - whether IT or not.
