Speaking Topics:
- Why Have a Sales System? The real reason salespeople fail is they don’t have a plan. They were taught to show up and talk about their features and benefits. People want to buy on their own terms and not be sold to.
- Uncovering Business Blind Spots: Every business has blind spots. The key is recognizing where they occur, why they occur and what to do about them.
- 30 Second Commercials: We all have one, but do we know when to use it, what to say and why we say it that way.
- Creating a Comfortable Environment to do Business In: Communications is the key to success or failure in business. Knowing it’s our responsibility to create a comfortable business environment is the first step.
- Improving Your BAT-ting Average: How your Behaviors, Attitudes and Techniques need to be connected to produce success in business or in life.
- The 8 Habits of Salespeople Who Thrive During Times of Economic Uncertainty: Some salespeople don’t just survive hard times – they create new “personal best” performance levels during these down cycles. How do they do it? Sandler sees these eight habits consistently among high performers who fall into this special category. Implement all eight, and they will see you through an industry shakeout, a spike in inflation, a recession, a global pandemic, or any other challenge that may appear on your horizon.
