President's Club-Building a Predictive Sales Model
Add to Calendar 12/07/2018 8:00 am 12/07/2018 9:30 am President's Club-Building a Predictive Sales Model What do you believe and trust in general, and what can you truly predict? Successful salespeople do not follow a magical, mystical process in order to prosper. Achievement in the sales role is predicted through the combination of the salesperson’s learned abilities and his capacity to execute specific skills to attain quantifiable results. Today, companies must dismiss the undefined personality traits in favor of a more scientific approach which yields consistency. Talent and personality are overrated in the sales equation as far too many seasoned sales veterans rely on them and fail to reach their goals. It's not enough to be a master of Sandler sales skills. In this session, you will learn why the truly triumphant Sandler professional relies on a complex system of behavior that guarantees achievement of sales goals. 6660 Doubletree Ave. Columbus, OH 43229 mcaruso@sandler.com MM/DD/YYYY

President's Club-Commitment and Focus vs. Hope
Add to Calendar 12/14/2018 8:00 am 12/14/2018 9:30 am President's Club-Commitment and Focus vs. Hope “Hope is not a strategy.” As much as we may agree with this sentiment, many times it is tempting to neglect the “B” corner of our Success Triangle: Planning, Cookbooks and Accountability. Oh the rationalizations and justifications we feed ourselves: “I’m not a C, I just can’t do it”, “I can already see how I’m doing by my bank account”, “I am already working 30 hours a day, who has time to track”, “I can’t figure out the right way to do it”, and so on. But what’s the real underlying issue? Together, let’s figure out how to get a leg up on our self-talk and inner fears and let’s help each other find a way to improve our “B” corner actions. Progress is the goal, not perfection. 6660 Doubletree Ave. Columbus, OH 43229 mcaruso@sandler.com MM/DD/YYYY
