“How to Double Your Sales in Six Months - Part I ” by Dave Kurlan High-intensity workshop on solution selling. You want to sell consistently and effectively but you have challenges that prevent that from happening. Not enough new opportunities, limited budgets, being commoditized by buyers, delayed closings and business lost to others. These challenges are real but you don’t have to continue struggling with them. If you’re willing to be pushed, Dave will change the way prospects respond to you forever! Let your challenges become Dave’s challenges for two hours and see how much more effectively you’ll be selling after that. |
