Good news: you, the owner, are great at sales.
Bad news: you, the owner, are great at sales... you are the bottleneck to the growth of your company. I bet you're reading this at 11:07 p.m.... up late working again. The best news: It IS possible to get OUT of sales. If you don't brand your sales process, you might just have to work another 80-hour week next week, just like I did - for years - until I learned, and implemented, so key sales strategies that work for my clients.
During this Session You Will Learn
- Increase your close rate which will save you massive time
- Create a repeatable process that attracts both customers AND employees... Employees LOVE it when there's a solid process
- Free up your time to grow the business
- Set your business up to grow, scale - and be even more sellable
