Course Description

The federal government is the world’s Fortune One Customer- it buys more than any other entity in the world. Over $450 billion is spent every year with small, medium and large companies selling every service and product imaginable.

With that rich of a market, is it easy to reach sales goals?

No!  A newly-released  third party sales benchmark study by a national organization determined:

• Only 7% of companies and salespeople exceed their sales goals.
• Just 22% of companies and salespeople barely make their goals.
• Over 70% of companies and salespeople do not reach their goals.

The study differentiated elite and top sales performers from the vast majority not reaching sales goals.  The study also identified what drives the proposal win rates, pricing strategies and profitability issues.

Attend this interactive training to learn:

• What is holding over 70% of companies back
• What makes the top two tiers different
• How to climb into the top two tiers of success
• How you can put yourself and your company in one of the top two tiers
• How to add 18% or more to your revenues without adding personnel
• What exactly it takes to be in the top 7% of all companies exceeding sales goals
• Why “capture” is old-fashioned and becoming more ineffective in 2016
• What you are doing right and what can be improved immediately
• Tactics that make a difference in 2016
• Tools that will have decision-makers pay attention
• The skill sets required for top performers
• What is it that the top tier 7% of companies and salespeople do every day

This training addresses a range of industry specifics, and the dialogue with attendees and the trainer is lively throughout the course.  Ask questions about any ongoing issues, challenges and setbacks that you experience every day.
