    Strategic Sales

    Increase your credibility and influence with key decision makers

    There are three primary sales environments: new business development, account planning, and large single-sale opportunities. Three corresponding strategy models will be examined and attendees will select the model that best fits their sales environment. Each will develop a sales strategy for a specific current sales opportunity and receive peer and instructor feedback. Sales tactics will be enriched by using the five elements that overcome the resistance to change and a powerful presentation format that speaks to the heart and mind.
