"What are you afraid of?

Losing a deal? Not making quota? Challenging your prospect? Walking away from a bad opportunity? Picking up the phone to cold call?

We ALL have fears, but may not know where they come from or how to make them go away. Fear tells us to walk (or even run) from those things we know we need to do to succeed. Fear keeps us from our dreams”¦ if we let it.

I am afraid of public speaking. I have panic attacks. I may have one on front of you. Even so, I plan to share the secret to moving through fear with you."

During this 45 minute breakout, Sales Transformation Architect, Townsend Wardlaw, will share how he acknowledges, re-calibrates, and re-frames his fears so they lose their power.

In this session, Bruce Lewolt, Founder & President of BrainX, will show you how to solve the biggest problem that senior VPs of Sales and sales team leaders face.

Here are some of the symptoms of this problem:

1. After training, salespeople quickly revert to their old selling methods.
2. Your new hire attrition rates are too high.
3. You have a few regular high performers with rest being average and inconsistent

The research shows that these are all symptoms of an inaccurate corporate mindset regarding salespeople. They are seen and they see themselves as just employees who have the job of selling. This is as crazy as thinking of a pitcher for the Dodgers as being just an employee who has the job of throwing the ball. Instead, the pitcher is a competitive athlete whose sport is baseball and who consistently works out, thinks, and acts like a competitor. In addition, they are trained and coached to be able to consistently perform at the high levels demanded of a professional athlete.

You will learn the steps required to reverse this mindset. You will also learn the best and most objective way to evaluate salespeople along with how to construct Daily Perfect Learning Workouts that evoke high productivity as they teach new knowledge and skills.
