Jam Session Breakout Groups

#1 - The Secret Sauce to Revenue Growth hosted by Pivotal Advisors

This Jam Session, hosted by Pivotal Advisors, is specifically designed for business owners and executives who recognize that a well-defined and adopted sales process is crucial for driving revenue growth, yet many companies rely on undocumented "tribal knowledge" or have a written process that isn't actively leveraged or enforced. Furthermore, processes often tell salespeople what to do but fail to explain how to execute it effectively. This workshop focuses on the impact of a solid sales process on growth, common pitfalls, the essential components of developing your unique process. Attendees will also learn how to integrate their company's differentiators directly into the process to significantly increase close rates.
