CHALLENGE

Ownership of this store had been looking for something to strengthen the culture and create an atmosphere where sales people were excited to produce more.

Management would coordinate the sales training but lacked inventory of material. They wanted more sales strategy involved in the day to day meetings without pulling random material from books and free online videos. Duplication of strategy was not being retained with these methods.

APPROACH

With the start of Cardone University, all employees were required to start the Beginner Sales Certification. Fifteen minutes of training every morning was the requirement to ensure that everyone was on the same page and working towards the completion of the part of the certification program. A forty-five-day deadline was targeted to get everyone on the same page with the foundations needed to start group sales training on proper meet and greet, fact finding, presentation skills and closing strategies training.

Once the right foundation was set in place and the sales culture started to build, daily sales training Bootcamps were to be held and lead by management.

RESULTS

The company’s culture saw an immediate change. Sales people were excited about getting to customers and understood that the more product they could help them with, the happier the customers became.

Cardone University Sales Bootcamps were being ran by management every morning. Fifteen-minute group meetings on one segment being taught in the right gradient lead to a better understanding of closing. The practical discussions gave management a much more engaging meeting in which sales people were able to learn and grow from. This increased their closing ratios all across the board.

Management and ownership said that for the first time they had found a training product that was yielding quantifiable results.
