Sales Training Programs by Brian Tracy

During my 30+ years providing sales training programs, courses and books to Fortune 500 companies and businesses all over the world, I found that one thing is for certain: No matter how passionate a salesperson you may be, no matter how likable you are, if you can’t close the sale, your efforts yield nothing.

Early in my career, I struggled with closing leads. Then, I discovered what worked, and learned how to sell very well - turning more prospects into customers than ever before.

I experienced profound success -- breaking every record in my company and increasing my income twenty fold. Now, I pass my decades of proven experience to others as a sales trainer and success expert down to you.

Sales Techniques to Help
You Close More Leads

In order for you to join the top 20 percent of salespeople, you’ll need to be good at closing. Here are some tips and ideas that illustrate what you need to do to close sales more often:

  • All sales skills, including closing, are learned and learnable. If you can drive a car, you can learn how to close the sale.
  • Your personality is more important than your product knowledge and your selling skills. So focus on continuous improvement, and become a well-read professional.
  • Be proud of your prices, and always justify the price with sound reasons. Then, minimize price resistance by comparing the price with more expensive articles.
  • For more in-depth information on this and other sales training ideas, I highly recommend you see my blog post, 7 Cold Calling Tips to Improve Your Closing Rate.

How to Improve Your Sales Process

Professional selling has three stages. They are prospect, present, and follow up. These phases make up the “sales funnel.” Here’s how to keep your funnel full while keeping your pipeline flowing with prospects:

  • If you’re not satisfied with your results, analyze your performance in these prospect, present, and follow up areas, and see where you can improve to have biggest impact on your revenue
  • The way to increase sales is to increase the quality or quantity of your activity in one or more of these areas.
  • Use the “80/20 rule.” Spend 80% of your time prospecting and presenting, and spend only 20% of your time following up with potentially high-value customers.
  • For more in-depth information on this and other tips, I highly recommend you see my blog post, How to Handle Objections And Use Closing Techniques
