Nothing Happens Until A Sale Is Made
(AKA Sales 101 on Steroids)
About the Workshop:
Without a steady stream of sales, your business will cease to exist. For a startup, a steady stream of sales is essential to getting it off the ground. You can kid yourself and assume that your “amazing” set of products and services will cause customers to beat down your door. Or you can get real…
You can embrace the necessity of constantly communicating the true value of what your business provides. Explaining how that value exceeds the price your customers pay. The sales process is not complicated. It is not difficult to learn. It is, however, actual work. Actual, essential, non-optional work.
This workshop provides essential insights for those who have never even tried to sell something through seasoned sales professionals seeking to up their game.
After this session you will understand:
- The real, functional meaning of the word “Sales”
- The basics of continuous (sales) process improvement
- The Methodical Sales Process
- CRM (Customer Relationship Management) basics
- The Methodical Sales Call
