Module 2: Mastering the Structured Sales Cycle – The First Secret
Flexible steps for making the perfect sales call.
The sales structure is composed of flexible steps and tactics that are visible, logical, and repeatable. You will learn to obey the rules of the structure without appearing canned or rehearsed but instead authentic and polished. The structured sales cycle works. It works for both short and long term sales cycles, with simple and complex products, with senior executives, middle management, and casual buyers, on the phone, face-to-face, in groups, and in any industry. The point is: The structured sales cycle is universal. You do not have to learn four or five different ways to sell, depending on the industry or product or buyer class. You have to learn only one way, and if you learn it well, you will succeed your entire sales career.
