The focus of the session is exploring NEW thinking and MODERN approaches to selling. Not only has the wine & spirits industry changed significantly in the last 5-10 years but selling as a profession has changed. We'll explore these changes in depth and prepare you to be more effective in the modern environment.
You'll be asked not only to open your mind to new ways of thinking and new possibilities but to "unlearn" some of the things you've been taught. Along the way, we're going to bust a few "myths" and poke our finger in the eye of some deeply held beliefs that have become obsolete.
Selling today is no longer about pitching and persuading, and overcoming objections. It's not even about the features and benefits of your product. "Modern" selling is about bringing true business value to the buyer-seller relationship. The centerpiece of this new mindset is demonstrating solid business acumen through the use of data, technology, and all the best practices that go with it.
Attendees will walk away with fresh thinking and powerful new ideas about how to dramatically accelerate their sales. This would be the best investment you will make to sell more. Take advantage and get your ticket for $75. Seats are limited so we encourage you to book today.

"Ben delivered just what our teams needed. A thought-provoking, interactive, and well overdue modern approach to sales.He laid out why the old school sales methods just don’t resonate with buyers.
