It's time for a Sales Revolution! Time to change the way we approach our sales careers ... for both sales professionals and the people who lead them.

The world around us certainly has changed... especially in the past few years.  Economic uncertainty, increased competition and technology have all contributed.  So, doesn't it make sense to approach how we train for sales in a new and exciting way?

Training in every arena has changed dramatically.  Take, for instance, a professional athlete.  Today's methodologies barely resemble those from 20 years ago.  Gone are the neandrathal coaches who deprived athletes of water, ran endless, mind-numbing drills and saw sports psychology as a fad.  It's been replaced with cross-training, on-site team nutritionists and the use of techology that breaks down the athlete's movements, frame-by-frame, to a fraction of an inch.  And, the same can be said for the training of any elite professional - whether it be in the fields of medicine, the military, the performing arts or business.

So, what about sales?  Has the training of sales professionals kept up?

The answer us unfortunately,"No!"  Many programs are still stuck in the tried and untrue gimmicks and techniques of the past.  They tout some magical "triple-tie-down-reverse-half-nelson" closing technique or still believe that every "No" they receive from a client will lead them closer to a "Yes."

That's what The Sales Revolution is all about.  Giving elite sales professionals and managers the tools necessary to unleash their talent and skill.    

AGENDA: 

Morning Session (for Sales Managers and Leaders)  8 AM - Noon

The Feedback Revolution: The key to improved performance of your sales team is effective and consistent feedback.  Peter McLaughlin will teach a step-by-step plan to ensure that your feedback is well-received, acted upon and that you leave a "positive emotional wake" in your sales environment.

Leadership Communications: We could also call this "You can't waterboard in the office and a bucketful of other reasons to learn how to effectively influence your team." This module will be taught by The Hitman himself, Steve Brazell.

Effective Sales Coaching: Coaching has become a buzz-word in the business community, but unfortunately not very well taught.  Jeffrey Howard will lead Managers through a process that will help Managers identify each sales professionals strengths, craft a plan of action that has complete buy-in and puts in place accountability that actually gets used. 

This session is limited to just 40 participants.  Includes lunch, breaks, training manual and handouts for use in your sales meetings/coaching sessions.  Each Manager will also receive a complimentary registration to the Afternoon Session to use for themselves or a member of their team.

Afternoon Session (for Sales Professionals) 1 PM - 5 PM

Mentally Tough, Emotionally Resilient and Fun As Hell!:  Picture yourself in training, just like a professional athlete would train - mentally, emotionally, physically and on your sales skills.  You'll learn strategies that will give you unstoppable confidence, enter "The Sales Zone" before each and every sales opportunity, bounce-back from set-backs and bring more humor into your day.

Who are You ... And Why Should I Care?:  Each one of us is in danger of our product or service becoming a commodity. Forget simple differentiation, we're talking about Competition Removal here.

Sales Communication That Influences:  The selling process is really all about communications.  From prospecting to presentation, from networking to referrals, your ability to communicate in a way that leads to trust, positions you as an expert and helps clients take action is paramount.  You'll have tools so that you can "scout" your customer's buying style and get them "unstuck" when things get bogged down. 

The afternoon session includes a training manual, 30-days of web-based follow-up and breaks.
