We’ve got to build stronger teams that believe in the products they sell. We’ve got to utilize technology to its fullest potential and cultivate intimate touch points with our customers.
That’s why we developed the Sales Builder System™. It’s a 12 part cycle that’s customized to the unique vision of your company.
Month 1 "The Probe"
We dig deep. We start by surveying your customers to answer the immortal question, “Why do they buy from you?”
But we don't stop there. When we say dig, we mean dig. We evaluate your current web presence, PR, and brand perception. Then we dig into the details of your current sales & marketing process looking for signs of:
lt;
- Automation
- Engaging Content delivered regularly
- Clear expression of your values and vision

We deliver our findings in a neat package all tied together with a red bow.

- Establish better criteria for qualifying potential customers.

Month 6 "Salesologist"
A Dr. only treats what's needed. This module is broken into two workshops, both handling a key aspect of what it means to be a "Salesologist."
The Interview Pyramid
We understand that first sales call to a prospect. Feeling out the prospect challenges salespeople, who learn to overcome the initial awkward contact by developing a routine response. The interview pyramid takes your sales people beyond the routine response, with a “Read and React” method that builds a foundation of the “Pyramid” leading to more successful sales calls, represented by the pyramid’s peak. We teach your salespeople how to build a better foundation of trust, build a better connection leading to a relationship, demonstrate personal value and align the prospects belief and needs to your call to action.
The Perfect Fit
We take a fresh look at the science of personality. Examining how the Myer’s-Briggs and Social Styles tools can inform salespeople on their approach. We teach several methods for modifying your approach in word choice, sales method, points of emphasis and closing questions to fit your prospects better. We then discuss common problems in existing sales workflows and how to address them to fit your prospects and discuss how you can better project future sales by including personality as a factor.

We have found that courses that offer answers to objections are very popular. Sales people leave the training excited and full of ideas. But they don’t normally deliver measurable results. Why? To really stick in, that have to be relatable to your sales team. We normally don’t believe in forcing things, but in this brainstorm we not only teach the objection answer method, but we force your team to come up with situations that apply to them, and develop different ways to answer your real objections and close more sales.
