Dave Kurlan – Scaling-Up Club – Baseline Selling
How to Become a Sales Superstar by Using What You Already Know about the Game of Baseball
“Baseline Selling” will dramatically change the way we approach the sales process, replacing the gratuitous complexity advocated by today’s sales “experts” with an elegant and very effective simplicity. Studies have shown that the selling techniques of the last two decades have had very little impact on most of the sales population-less than 75 percent of all salespeople, to be exact. Why? Because of the complexity, learning curve and difficulty in applying the concepts in these systems. In response to the urgent need for a flexible, innovative process that will enable people to grasp the essential skills necessary to close a sale in any situation,
Baseline Selling reemphasizes the fundamentals of selling in a fresh, memorable way that modern sales professionals can relate to and utilize, and above all, one that complements and enriches advanced sales methodologies.
You will learn:
The difference between sales process, sales methodology and sales models
What a well-defined sales process should look like
The keys to shortening the sales cycle
The most important steps to sell value
The one trap to which most salespeople fall victim
How to really differentiate from the competition

Salespeople who take this course and put its wisdom to work will succeed at acquiring more opportunities as they learn to get appointments more easily. They will excel at creating opportunities with prospects who are “not interested”. They’ll sell at higher margins by using the “Rule of Ratios”. Their closing percentages will improve dramatically as they implement the simple Inoffensive Close”. Salespeople selling commodities, struggling to differentiate themselves, will love “Commodity Busters” and every salesperson will be able to shorten their sell cycle by “Taking a Lead”. Quite simply, Baseline Selling introduces a way for salespeople to visualize and touch all the “sales bases” without over-complicating the process.
