OCTOBER TOPIC: Sales Leaders—The One Thing You Need To Know
Sales Managers and leaders are often guilty of learned helplessness. They choose to say things like, “IF I were you I would” or “This is how I do it,” or “Just watch what I do in this meeting.” We call that potency. A leader knows how to discern strengths and weaknesses and is best served by utilizing the process of self-discovery to grow their team. In this session, Trustpointe Owner Tim Roberts will help you discover The One Thing You Need to Know.

NOVEMBER TOPIC: Talking About Money in a Business Deal

When qualifying a prospect as high-performance, salespeople are keen to determine the investment the prospect will make before giving the presentation.

In this session, Trustpointe Coach Chris Roberts will discuss money talk reluctance and money weakness during a business meeting.
