Programs

THE CLOSING ROOM

The keynote built on Colleen’s deal advisory work. It introduces the feeling-vs-fact frame, puts real deals on the screen, and leaves the room with a sharper way to read their own pipeline.

The posture is a challenge, not a pep talk: open your books, put the real deals on the table, and look honestly at where the problems actually are.

The goal isn’t a standing ovation — it’s a room of leaders who leave a little uncomfortable and a lot clearer about what’s really in their forecast.

A talk that dares the room to open their books.

Audience: VPs of Sales, sales managers, and front-line sellers.

Takeaways:

How to tell a deal that feels good from one that will actually close
The signals that predict slippage
A way to read a pipeline on fact, not feeling

RIGHT ON THE MONEY: YOUR BEST OPPORTUNITY FOR SUCCESS IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU

Your current accounts are your most lucrative source of additional revenue. Working more with them is the easiest way to accelerate past your sales goals. They are your biggest asset and from where you are standing right now, you are right on this money.

Sadly, these current accounts are most often a neglected profit center. All too often, companies practice Account Complacency rather than Account Management. Turning their attention, their marketing and their resources to the exciting next new deal.

My research shows that the fastest growing companies understand precisely how to manage their best accounts by focusing on customer success to profitably retain and grow their current client base. Right on the Money is rich with client examples on how leverage your best asset including cases that illustrate:

Why clients don’t want partners, they want insiders,

How to identify your sales prevention department and ensure they don’t get in the way of profits,

How to sell like an insider, and

How to develop an early-warning system to spot early defection risks and prevent them from happening

CREATING A NONSTOP SALES BOOM: PUTTING AN END TO BOOM-AND-BUST SALES CYCLES

How many times have you come off a great month or quarter, only to find that the pipeline is woefully empty and now everyone is struggling to keep up? Worst of all, that kind of development is considered by many to be the norm: simply accepting poor performance and the stresses of up and down results as the cost of doing business.

Why does this happen? Because of complacency, inconsistency and a far too narrow view of the role of sales. Sellers need look at their job as more than just executing the linear process of converting opportunities to sales. To create consistent results today, you must embrace a 360-degree customer-engagement model.

In this action-packed keynote, Colleen tosses out the traditional opportunity-conversion mindset and replaces it with a winning plan to develop your sales radar. Including:

Why ubiquity is the best way to attract the best and brightest leads into your pipeline,

How qualifying the opportunity is your responsibility as well as that of the buyer,

That not all clients deserve the right to grow equally, and

How your best clients should be selling to your best leads.
