Sales training can help to aspire, salespeople develop and practice the skills they need to succeed and increase their confidence level. Proper sales training nurture the skill of salesperson. It is actually a combination of choosing the right people and then giving them the proper amount of training (Mayer & Greenberg, 2006). For example, I can take a person who is very knowledgeable in marketing and who definitely has the skills and abilities for the given position and then give them an adequate amount of training in addition to what they already know.

Overcoming objections
Objections are a normal part of the sales process, as prospects, an improperly trained sales person may simply agree with the objection and stop selling. Sales training can teach salesperson how to anticipate objections as well as techniques for overcoming them.
Developing Administrative Skill
Some salesperson has a tendency to focus solely on the people aspect of the position, such as prospecting and making a sales call, while overlooking the administrative tasks. Effective sales trains point out the importance of functions such as tracking daily activities keeping accurate records and analysis closing ratios. They can include how to use software programs that can simplify the administrative process and save precious time.
Sales Professionalism
Sales professionalism must learn how to recognize what technique and strategies are not yielding the returns they had hoped for. Ensure that there is some sort of review process in place so that you can pinpoint for yourself strategies and tools that are not effective. Effective communication skills successfully connect people and processes and are useful for not just the sales professionals but business professionals overall.
In my personal point of view, training is much more powerful than by birth skills. We have several examples where many people got success by training rather than natural skills.
