You want to feel energized every day -- doing meaningful work that makes great money and a real difference in the world.

So, he created Purpose Mapping® to bring his own life into alignment. Since then, he’s guided hundreds of entrepreneurs, executives, investors and professionals around the world create a clear path to realizing their potential.

In this 90-minute workshop, he’ll help you do the same.

Herb doesn’t sugar coat the process and will have a discussion on the reality of transition.

Sales: Building Consensus

Sales: Building Consensus

Free Webinar | Friday, November 26 @9:00am Pacific
1-hour presentation + Q&A | 25 attendee max

In the 300 interviews I’ve done with Beyond the Uniform, the Veterans I interview often talk about how vital it is - in nearly every industry and functional role - to have a solid sales skill set. Yet, most of these Veterans initially looked down on sales when they first left the military.

Tyler Johnston is a Marine Corps Veteran turned sales leader in the energy space, with nearly a decade of experience in sales in multiple industries.

In this webinar, Tyler teaches about 'Building Consensus'. This includes:

  • Step One: Building a coach in the target organization

    • How to identify an ally within the company to which you’re selling

    • How to understand the target company’s internal structure and decision-making process

    • How to collaborate and increase your chances of closing the deal

  • Step Two: Building resources and advocates in your own company

    • What resources are most helpful in educating your buyer and converting them

    • Finding internal allies and teammates to help close a deal

    • Finding the right internal champions to ensure a deal succeeds even after it is closed

  • Step Three: orchestrating Steps One and Two into an elegant solution to a client's problem

This one-hour webinar will include both instructions as well as a live question and answer session. It will also include guidance on how to take these tactics further after the webinar. If you’re unable to attend, all registrants will receive a video copy of the webinar. So you can watch afterwards, or review any points of particular interest.
