Winning Major Sales

Maximize value, differentiate, and win your most important sales.

Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat. - Sun Tzu

In Winning Major Sales, your sellers will learn a comprehensive, systematic, and repeatable process for creating winning sales strategies, plus they’ll be introduced to a rigorous opportunity planning tool.

86%

of Elite Performers agree their sellers have the skills needed to consistently drive and win sales opportunities vs. only 50% of The Rest.

3X

Sales winners educate buyers with new ideas and perspectives 3X more often than second-place finishers.

52%

of companies do not believe their sales process is customer-focused.

In the RAIN Group Center for Sales Research study, The Top-Performing Sales Organization, we found that “improving sales opportunity approach and planning,” “improving our ability to communicate value,” and “optimizing the sales process” represent 3 of the top 4 sales leadership priorities.

If sellers want to win, they must plan to win from the start. They must infuse value throughout the sales process and approach each sale from a customer-focused point of view.

Winning Major Sales not only gives your team a proven opportunity approach and planning process, it also covers exactly how to maximize value for multiple decision makers in a variety of roles.   
"Winning Major Sales significantly changed how we approached opportunity management. Our team learned how to generate the best ideas, strategies, and action plans to win their biggest opportunities."
