Sales is often called the battlefield of business, and for good reason: It can be stressful, taxing and there are unknown pitfalls around every corner. Salespeople and business owners face obstacles not because they don't know how to sell, but because they depend too much on hope. They hope they remember how to overcome objections; they hope a new prospect is the decision-maker in the company; they hope they have time to update their customer database. But Bulletproof Selling empowers sales pros to replace hope with certainty, close more deals and provide higher value to more clients.

You'll leave armed with concrete strategies and solutions to help you achieve your best sales year ever, starting today.

In this session, you'll learn how this macro trend is dramatically affecting people's buying decisions, and why it will likely be the biggest catalyst of both change and opportunity in the promo products market for years to come.
