I’m a Builder, Remodeler, or Developer and


I Have to Sell to Survive... Now What? presented by: Troy Elmore, Sandler Sales Institute COST: Free for builders, remodelers, developers


Frustrated by the following challenges in growing your business (and who isn’t)?


* Not enough new, qualified prospects in the pipeline? * Not closing the few prospects you get into the pipeline? * Selling “value” and still having to lower price, digging into the small margin you already have? * Your sales cycle is getting longer and you are unsure why? * Prospects are eager to see you and get your information but then never buy? They may even be using you as “unpaid consultant.” * Doing bids and proposals (sometimes free) only to get a “think it over”? * Differentiating your company from the competition?


If you have consistent and repeatable processes in all areas of your business except sales, or if your existing sales process is not working as well as you would like, then attend our one-hour educational session, where you will learn:


1. Tools to help you CLOSE more deals and shorten your sales cycles. 2. How DISCOUNTING for your products and services hurts your credibility. 3. How to SELL without giving away your valuable expertise. 4. Why people really BUY and what creates TRUST. 5. A PROCESS to help consistently grow more profitable business over time.
