questions as they arise.

Content Subjects covered will include:

• Creating a sales focus within any business.

• Distinguishing between marketing and sales.

• Creating a real distinction for any product or service.

• How to apply a reductive approach to selling.

• Identifying the only 3 things that prevent us having ease in sales conversations and how we negate them.

• Creating freedom around pricing

Coaching
