Our Training and Development Philosophy

We believe that successful sales behaviour change happens incrementally over time.  One time sales training events fail to produce the lasting changes in sales behaviour required to generate the desired improvements in sales productivity. Every learner brings past experience and beliefs to the training that inhibit and impede retention and execution.  Accomplishing lasting changes in sales behaviour requires changes in sales beliefs in terms of what the individual learner believes will work or not work for him or her, personally.

Learners in our training advance through four stages of development: 

 

I: I now KNOW what to do
 
II: I now BELIEVE it would work for me
III: I now DO it
IV: I now OWN it
The learner is now starting to "buy-in" and is developing the self-confidence to execute
The learner is now risking, trying the new material. The learner has overcome the fear of failure.
The learner has mastered the material. Execution has now become second nature

Quote Terry, The CEO Summer Sales CAMP gave me the systematic sales approach we need to grow our business, particularly in this down market cycle. The Sandler sales process really fits our consultative business well. The process breaks down the steps of establishing a strong and trusting relationship with a prospective client right from the start with a focus on asking the important questions first and determining if there is a mutual benefit for both parties to proceed. What I appreciated most was how you personally make it more real than the text books based on your extensive sales experience with large and small corporations and the live examples you shared and engaged us in. You've got a great ability to quickly zero in on the essence of the material being covered and apply it to our world. I take away enthusiasm and a refined approach to our sales strategy. Quote
