B2B Sales Workshop
In this workshop, you are going to be able to create an easy-to-follow and simple structure to start generating conversations with relevant prospects. It starts with mapping out the problems and frustrations your prospects have. We will then use this to create messaging to send them that has incredible response rates. Most of the sale is done on the first meeting, so it is extremely important to get it right and not just talk about your product and what cool features you have. We are going to create a six-step outline to follow to ensure your first meetings are successful.
Here is what you will walk away from this workshop:
- A clear prospect map (Your Ideal Client Profile)
- A deep understanding of your prospects pains and frustrations
- A first meeting outline to follow to sell more
- A step-by-step outbound system to generate dozens of conversations a month with qualified prospects
A week or two after the workshop, we will organize a follow-up group office hour session with Adam Springer where you will have the opportunity to ask your questions and get guidance after you’ll have the chance to apply what you learned during the workshop.
Meet Adam Springer on 8 June 2021, 15:00 CEST.
