Lee’s keynote was the highlight of our sales meeting.
Energy… Humor… Content…
His talk had it all, and it was fully tailored
to our company which our team loved!
~Scott Halperin, Senior Vice President, Vensure
“We’re happy with our current supplier.” Old, tired sales techniques fail to open doors, leaving salespeople frustrated with dry sales pipelines. “Beat the competition’s price or we are going with them.” Drop the price… or lose the deal!
What’s the solution for these tough sales challenges? Sales Differentiation!
During this keynote, Lee teaches audiences how to find their meaningful differentiators and, most importantly, position them in ways that spark interest with prospects. After all, if you can’t get the person on the other side of the desk just as excited as you are about your differentiators, low price wins!
Competition is fierce. Differences in product features and functions get smaller by the minute. And prospects are tuning out traditional sales approaches. Yet, salespeople are still expected to hit their numbers. How can they do that today?
They need to Sell Different! This keynote presents strategies to win more deals at the prices you want® by differentiating the selling approach. Every buyer touchpoint provides sellers with opportunities to outsmart, outmaneuver, and outsell the competition… and Lee teaches audiences how to do exactly that.
