"I cannot say enough good things about what has happened to me. It was a life changing experience. I just did what I was told to do and my sales literally doubled! It cannot be any more clear for me. Charlie Greer's [Sales Survival School] gave me proven results, and my company greatly appreciates it!" (9 months later!) (G.K., Salesman, Milwaukee, WI)


"Just wanted to drop you a note and say thanks. Yes I'm still working for the same company. I found out today that I am number three nation-wide on the ILS Year-to-Date Service Technicians Revenue Board! I think a lot of these figures come back to what you taught me about add-ons and upgrades in the Sales Survival School class a year ago. Thanks for all your help, Charlie." (B.G., Service Tech, NY)

DAILY AGENDA Charlie Greer's Four Day Selling Skills Seminar

DAY ONE:
8:00 a.m.- Noon
First VideotapedIndividual Coaching Session

These Schools are not a bunch of good shows where you can sit back and daydream without applying yourself.

One-half of every single day is spent practicing techniques to close sales and overcome objections. Everyone is required to participate. The result of this is at everyone who attends the School is able to start using their newfound knowledge on the very first call they run when they return to the job.

Attendees have the option of having their individual performances recorded on video. The video is excellent, because the camera refuses to lie to make you look better than you actually are. We all project a multitude of non-verbal cues, which the camera picks up. Just seeing how they look to others makes attendees better communicators.

In this first session, Charlie Greer provides coaching as we establish a "baseline" by video taping everyone's responses to:

  • "Why should I buy from you?"
  • "I want to think it over"
  • "Your price is too high!"
  • "I can get this cheaper elsewhere!"
  • "I want to get other bids!"
  • I have to talk it over with my husband, wife or some other higher authority!

DAY ONE:1:00 p.m.- 5:00 p.m.

Classroom Training

Topics covered this first day of class are:

  • What is a good closer?
  • Overcoming the Price Objection
  • Learning responses to the question, Why should I buy from you?
  • Benefit Selling.

Second Videotaped Individual Coaching Session

Attendees are provided with, and trained on how to use, written, scripted responses to objections.
