TOPICS:

• Post-Pandemic Sales
The response to the pandemic continues to manifest in new ways. Virtual, in-person, and hybrid presentations are only the beginning. Chuck updates this topic weekly based on new processes, technologies, and demographics. Keep your team and sales model up-to-date with this information.

• the P.L.U.S.H. Sales Process Methodology
Used by hundreds of companies and thousands of salespeople worldwide, this “sales recipe” keeps the opportunity moving from pre-call planning to closure to referrals.
This is the foundation upon which you can design, develop, and implement an updated sales strategy.

• Your Role in Sales
Sales development for non-salespeople
Everyone has the opportunity to impact a customer’s decision to buy – or not buy. This content can be structured to focus on C-Suite members, customer-service people, technicians, or anyone else in your organization.

• Customer Service as a Profit Center
Some customers may take the word of a customer service person over the role of a salesperson. They assume the salesperson has a quota or commission depending on the sale.
Customer service people resist “selling” because of their perception of what sales is all about. Once they learn some basic sales approaches and understand what they are doing for their customers, they are more likely to help a customer succeed better by using more of the selling organization’s capabilities.
