“Is it possible to turn hard times into business opportunity for you?”

“How can you profit from the economic downturn?”

“Could this crisis be the trigger that transforms your career (in a positive way)?

The net is there are winners and losers in times like this.  How can we seize this moment to create an opportunity for ourselves?

Sales professionals need to have the right mindset to be successful. It’s even more critical during this challenging time.

Under normal circumstances, having the right sales mindset is a key aspect of selling that has helped successful sales representatives advance their sales performance.

During the COVID-19, it’s even more challenging that sales professionals have the right mindset. There is a lot of uncertainty. Customers are going out of business or are at a minimum very stressed. Sales professionals might feel that they are unprepared to be successful in this new world.

Also, for the first time, sales leaders are faced with situations they are unfamiliar with and are trying to cope with this new world as well.

The Institute for Excellence in Sales is excited to host this new weekly webcast with world-renowned sales mindset experts to help sales professionals transform, succeed and thrive during the most challenging time most of us have ever faced.
