Stop Winging It: Building a Sales Playbook That Actually Closes Deals

from The Sandler Training Hour · host Jim Stephens

You fought hard to get the meeting — but once you're in the conversation, do you actually know what to do next? Most salespeople spend half the call figuring out their next move instead of executing a plan. Jim and Jason break down what a real sales playbook looks like — not scripts, but a defined operating system that takes a prospect from "I heard you do good work" to a closed deal and raving fan. They cover where to start building yours: identifying what you get for free in your sales process, running autopsies on dead deals, flushing the "maybes" from a bloated pipeline, and knowing whether your CRM is driving your behavior or you're driving it. If you've ever ended a sales call with "let's schedule another meeting" because you didn't know how to close — this one's for you. The Sandler Training Hour Hosted by Jim & Jason Stephens | Crossroads Business DevelopmentJoin hosts Jim and Jason Stephens from Crossroads Business Development as they discuss techniques, tactics, and the occasional tangent associated with the Sandler Selling System. Whether you are prospecting, negotiating, or closing, The Sandler Training Hour gives you the actionable advice you need to stop "winging it" and start controlling the sale.📧 Reach out: [email protected] 🌐 Crossroads Business Development
