Creating a Nonstop Sales Boom: Putting an End to Boom-and-Bust Sales Cycles 

How many times have you or someone on your team come off a great month or quarter, only to find that the pipeline is woefully empty. This is one of the most common problems that sales organizations face: great results followed by several periods of missed-quotas.

Worst of all, this is considered by many organizations to be the “norm” and simply accept poor performance and the stresses of up and down results.

Why does this happen? In short, it can have a lot to do with complacency, consistency and a far too narrow view of the role of sales. Simply put, sellers need to look at their job as more than just moving leads to close.
We need to look at the entire client lifecycle. In Creating a Nonstop Sales Boom, Colleen will introduce the critical activities all sellers review the four critical stages of client engagement:

– Attraction – the activities sellers need to do to attract new prospects. It isn’t just up to marketing.
– Participation – effectively qualifying the buyer, getting them to buy and get on-boarded quickly – they can’t grow if they’ve not implemented.
– Growth – how to enhance the value to your client.
– Leverage – how to have clients advocating on your behalf and becoming your secret sales force.

When sellers concentrate on only one or two of these areas, their results become erratic. With the field-tested strategies in this session, participants will learn how to systematically attract a regular flow of prospects and move them smoothly through the pipeline – and beyond.

Colleen will introduce Sales Radar™ to help sellers visualize and implement this way of looking at the client relationship. Typically sellers see themselves working with clients in a linear fashion, restricting the overall ability to generate revenue Sales Radar provides an invaluable tool to reinforce the opportunities that exists with clients at all stages of their life cycle.

The Magnetism of Value: Standout by Selling Value – Not Negotiating Price 

In today’s highly competitive marketplace, it’s no longer negotiable whether you close a sale on your terms and with balanced profits. It’s a requirement. Value—not price—must lead that conversation you’re having with your customer.

But what if your customers don’t appreciate value? What if they are only focused on buying at the lowest price? Those are beliefs: not facts.

In this keynote, Colleen unlocks the myth that clients are not interested in value by reminding sellers that the only value that matters is the value that matters to the client. It’s up to sellers to discover, communicate and position what the customers values uniquely for maximum profit.

Anyone can convert their sales pitch into customer value, using Colleen’s model. But come prepared to hear and be persuaded by provocative, unorthodox ideas that are proven to work in today’s new economy, including:

-How to close 80% of negotiations without dropping your price;
-Using a buying map to create urgency and improve margins; and
-Learn why the buyer can’t say “no need” if you’ve done your job.
