Sales managers often get set-up to fail. You’ve heard this story. Top salesperson gets promoted to sales manager, only to discover the skills needed to develop and lead a sales team are very different than those of a seller---especially in difficult times. With education and training, many sales leaders end up hiring culture misfits or have trouble transferring the skills and habits that made them a resilient and successful producer. 
There is a better way.  
And that better way is learning how to incorporate emotional intelligence skill into your sales leadership processes.
Learning Outcomes: 

1.Discover how to hire for Sales EQ. Stop hiring whiners and non-coachable salespeople. Start hiring resilient, coachable salespeople that can sell in any environment. 
2.Uncover the invisible reasons your sales team doesn’t consistently execute the right selling skills and behaviors. 
3.Improve your ability to train and coach your salespeople to the “next level.” 
4.Build your sales team’s resiliency muscles. Create sales teams that bounce back quickly from adversity and failure.  
5.Create sales cultures that embrace learning and change rather than fear.

At the time of this event, we are in the midst of the COVID-19 era, which is challenging us all personally and professionally.

How to Grow Your B2B Business in Challenging Times

Highly persuasive individuals, including many top-performing sales professionals, engage prospects by using similes, metaphors, anecdotes, and illustrations. They not only ask open-ended questions but listen intently to their prospects’ stories, histories, and backgrounds to elicit valuable information and make deep HUMAN connections. This communication style allows sales professionals to sell more efficiently and effectively.

As a sales professional, telling stories can foster dialogues that ultimately inspire and motivate your clients to act. Story Selling is intended to help sales professionals create momentum that leads to identifying and closing opportunities. Remember, people buy emotionally but rationalize intellectually.

In this webinar, we will provide participants with a storytelling framework that helps them to craft the setup, conflict, turning point, and resolution of a story. In addition to the framework, we really focus on two areas: how to build a great story and how to tell a great story. We will teach you to use the right words, incorporate data, use visuals, and discuss what gestures, voice, and expressions are best to use and avoid.

You will learn: 

- Make an emotional connection with customers and prospects
- Draw your customers’ attention to your key issues and messages
- Inspire and motivate customers to act
- Learn how to make more memorable presentations and speeches
- Identify opportunities to use storyselling

StorySelling for Results!

Marketing and salespeople know that they need a call-to-action to encourage a buyer to connect. Yet too many of them are generic and not engaging. There is both an art and science to craft marketing and sales CTAs. In this session you will learn how to:
• Better define the action you want to create
•	Evaluate standard CTAs – what works, what doesn’t?
•	Leveraging your buyer research to develop CTAs with meaning

Calls-to-Action – What works to increase buyer engagement?

Sometimes it’s not about what to start doing, it’s about what to stop doing. From an early age, most of us are taught to avoid failure and achieve success. 
Fast forward: sellers in every industry silently suffer because they have a fear of failure, rejection, and the word, no. It's the elephant in the room because it's not often discussed.
The answer isn't to pretend rejection doesn't exist. Or to avoid risk taking at all costs. But how do we take the obstacle of rejection that's so negative and make it a positive asset? That's what this webinar is all about. 

You will learn:

1.The mental framework that must be adopted to stop fearing failure 
2.Making rejection profitable by finding the value
3.How to stop taking ‘no’ personally
4.The secret of expanding the comfort zone
5.The five failure levels and how to move through them for sales success

Essential Strategies for Overcoming Fear of Rejection

Referrals are your ticket to the C-Suite—to any decision maker, for that matter. The biggest challenge sales managers face is lead generation: getting a consistent stream of qualified leads and reaching ideal prospects quickly. Referral selling solves these prospecting problems and more. Referrals are the fastest revenue-driver with no marketing costs, a 50%+ close rate, and pre-qualified leads in the pipeline. 

Yet, 95 percent of companies haven't adopted a systematic, disciplined, referral program with metrics, skills, and accountability for results—even though generating referral leads is their most productive outbound prospecting strategy. Sales reps don’t need to jump through hoops to get meetings. They always get a meeting, because they receive introductions from their prospects’ trusted colleagues. 

Whether you make cold calls now or not, leverage the power of your referral network and hit your sales numbers without hitting the phones. Your business development will never be the same. It's the one-call referral meeting!

You will learn:

1.Why referrals are gold—and yet almost no one is investing in their development
2.The biggest reason you’re not getting the referral business you think you’re entitled to
3.3 referral traps to avoid
4.How to jump-start referral selling today

Score Meetings with Prospects in One Call

No Excuses! A Better Way to Sell

If you want to win deals quickly and at the right price, it’s essential to quantify the cost the buyer incurs with the status quo, and the value of moving to your solution.   When you don’t present your value and ROI effectively, you will lose deals unnecessarily to no-decision, budget will be shifted to other projects or priorities, or you will only win with substantial discounts.
Although presenting your solution’s ROI would seem an obvious step in any substantial sales opportunity, salespeople rarely attempt this exercise! 
What You Will Learn
In this session, we will explore the following topics about ROI selling:

1. At what stages in the sales process can ROI quantification be most effective?  
2. When do you not need an ROI?
3. What barriers prevent sales organizations from effectively adopting ROI selling?
4. Which types of organizations tend to succeed in operationalizing ROI selling, and which ones do not?  
5. What are the negative effects of not employing value selling across a sales organization?
5. How do you calculate an ROI in the most basic form?
7. What are best practices in showing your ROI visually?  

A methodology for ROI selling in your business will be presented during this session.
