Day 2 is where you really anchor your skills with role play. Don’t worry! It’s FUN!
Just like riding a bike or becoming fluent in a new language, sales skills are best learned by doing. And the sooner the better.
So once you learn each easy-to-remember sales principle and conversational pattern, you'll watch a live demonstration, and then put it into immediate action yourself.
This is where the magic happens!
Hundreds of surveys say that while many people are nervous about the live role play at first, by the end, they LOVE it … and consider it the most beneficial part of the workshop. Plus, they say it's the BEST NETWORKING activity of any conference they've ever attended!
You'll enjoy great networking and fun role play in a safe, encouraging environment.
Exercises AndWorksheets
Every business is special. The people you serve, the products and services you offer, the problems you solve, are all part of YOUR unique value proposition.
How well you tell your story, connect the dots, and help each decision maker understand why what you do matters to them is the difference between being a pro or being a hack.
That's why the How to Win Funds and Influence People™ workshop features strategic planning exercises especially designed to help you customize the training to YOUR particular offering and target client.
When you leave the workshop, you'll have identified key influencers, your strategic positioning, your brand promise, and how to match your offerings to your target market’s needs.
You'll take all the work and worksheets home so you can implement right away and get meaningful results fast!
Opportunities
A great perk of a LIVE event is networking. Students say How to Win Funds and Influence People™ is the BEST networking event they've ever attended.
On Thursday night, before the workshop starts the next day, join us for an informal, no-host reception in the hotel bar. But take it easy because you'll need a clear head for the workshop!
Throughout the workshop, you'll engage in structured conversations and role play with other attendees. You'll make a lot of new friends. So Friday night we're back in the bar for a bigger, better, no-host networking session.
When the workshop is over Saturday evening, it's smart to stay over because we'll reconvene for our final no-host funfest. It's your last chance to make a new connection, get a selfie with new friends, and fortify new friendships that could last a lifetime.
You never know who you're going to meet or what doors might open, so make the most of the opportunity to meet and mingle!

You either know how to generate revenue ... or you're stuck working for someone who does.
And if you're a solopreneur lucky enough to generate sales, but can't recruit and lead, then you'll be trapped with a business that owns you and can't scale.
Here's the problem ...
Most people believe sales is a natural talent ... you've either got it, or you don't.
No wonder people feel this way. After all, most corporate sales training is really about product knowledge and is generally ineffective in the real world.
So most sales people spew product information at the prospect ... throwing up feature after feature with an occasional generic benefit or two.
This is 100% wrong.
That's why amateur salespeople are often blindsided by surprise objections at decision time, or struggle reeling in confused prospects who want to "think about it" ... only to never hear from them again.
But there's good news...
If you can listen, you can sell.
You see, the art and science of professional selling isn’t about hurling a barrage of information at your prospect.
It’s about listening to your prospect, understanding their problems, and leading them to an effective solution through a discovery process.
When done properly, customers ask to buy. You don’t need to force the sale on them.
Professional selling is a 100% learnable skill that YOU can develop.
When you understand the core principles and conversational patterns of effective selling ... and how to reinforce them in a live environment like our workshop ... you too can become “a natural” sales pro!

Perfect! You have no bad habits. The workshop begins with foundational concepts, and pyramids concept upon concept, and exercise upon exercise, so everyone starts with the basics and moves through the program together.
Of course! Just as professionals in other industries invest in continuing education, if you’re serious about your professional development, this training can reinforce core skills while introducing new ones. Surveys from the many experienced salespeople who’ve attended How to Win Funds and Influence People tell us this is the best training they’ve had, and they learned many new skills.
Students tell us the most beneficial part of the workshop is the role-play. They love hearing about a skill, watching it demonstrated, and then immediately practicing with other students. It’s a unique and powerful learning experience you can’t get in a seminar or by watching a video. Of course, all the interaction makes this workshop one of the best networking events you’ll ever attend. You’ll have more meaningful conversations with more interesting people in just two days than most people get in a year sitting listening to lectures at most conferences. And perhaps the most powerful and paradigm shifting skill you’ll learn is how to sell without knowing what your product or service is. It’s why these skills are so effective in ANY industry.
We’ll provide a workbook with worksheets and note pages. Bring your favorite pen and a highlighter. Dress professionally, but comfortable. Bring business cards, but no flyers or pamphlets. Breath mints are probably smart, and of course, your big smile and a great attitude! Once you’re registered, we’ll send emails with information about the hotel and related details. Please note there is no personal audio or video recording permitted.
The next workshop hasn’t been scheduled yet. If you can’t make the current one, be SURE to get on the Advance Notice List so you get the best pricing and availability. Click here to join the Advance Notice List for the next training.
If you attend, or if you don’t? To paraphrase the late, great Jim Rohn, “The training you don’t get can’t help you.” Consider this: If enhanced selling skills will increase your income just $100,000 per year, every year your wait to get trained costs you $100,000. Of course, like any investment, whether a new computer, a college degree, or a rental property… there’s time and money you invest in pursuit of those profits. Your actual investment depends on when you register. The sooner you register, the more you save. You save even more when you bring a partner.
Yes. Unfortunately, due to the interactive nature of the training, and restrictions related to each venue for any specific event, workshops usually cap out at between 150 – 250 people.
The next workshop is in Phoenix, Arizona. The hotel information, along with a group rate registration link, is provided after you’re registered. It’s STRONGLY recommended that all participants stay at the host hotel, as we start each day early, and networking lasts into the evening. There’s just enough time to sleep, but not much to commute.
If you’re coming in from out of town, it’s best to fly into Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) Thursday afternoon before the event and depart on Sunday after the event. This allows you to participate in the informal no-host Thursday night reception, both days of the workshop, and the final Saturday night networking. It’s also a good idea to use Sunday morning to summarize your thoughts and action plans before heading home and getting back to the daily grind. If you have more questions please click here to contact us now!
No. We’re working on a self-study course to help students prepare for each workshop, but due to the highly interactive and participatory nature of the training, it doesn’t lend itself to virtual attendance. You want to be in the room, fully engaged, networking and interacting with other students in the role-play.
Yes! In fact, students tell us this is one of the BEST networking events they’ve even attended. Students are organized at round tables, six students per table. Each lecture includes breaks for tabletop discussions and role-play (it’s fun!), and we mix the seating up multiple times each day. So you’ll meet virtually everyone in the room by the end.
In addition to the in-session networking, we have three separate no-host receptions. The first is the night before the event starts, then after day 1, and then after day 2. Most people stay overnight, so you can have the opportunity to get together on your own on Sunday morning before heading home. Also, meals are on your own, so you can extend strategic invitations to interesting people to join you for breakfast, lunch, or dinner during your stay. It’s great to bring business cards, but please no flyers or pamphlets. We’re not here to sell each other anything. Just make friends and stay in touch. One way to sharpen your skills and stay connected to fellow students is to join the Sales Pro Mentoring Club. You’ll get two one-hour interactive group mentoring calls per month and access to the club library.

Each lecture includes breaks for tabletop discussions and role-play (it’s fun!), and we mix the seating up multiple times each day. So you’ll meet virtually everyone in the room by the end.
In addition to the in-session networking, we have three separate no-host receptions. The first is the night before the event starts, then after day 1, and then after day 2. Most people stay overnight, so you can have the opportunity to get together on your own on Sunday morning before heading home. Also, meals are on your own, so you can extend strategic invitations to interesting people to join you for breakfast, lunch, or dinner during your stay. It’s great to bring business cards, but please no flyers or pamphlets. We’re not here to sell each other anything. Just make friends and stay in touch. One way to sharpen your skills and stay connected to fellow students is to join the Sales Pro Mentoring Club. You’ll get two one-hour interactive group mentoring calls per month and access to the club library.
