The Strategic Edge

Ever wonder why most sales training doesn't stick? You spend time and money on the latest closing techniques, objection handlers, and scripts, only to see your team revert to old habits. I used to think the answer was better techniques... until one conversation changed my perspective forever. The truth is, most sales coaching fails because it focuses on the wrong thing. We try to change behavior without addressing the underlying beliefs and mindset that drive it. We're teaching people what to say instead of transforming who they become. In this video, I'll break down the powerful shift from coaching techniques to coaching for transformation. You'll discover: 🔹 [1:15] The single conversation that revealed the flaw in traditional sales coaching. 🔹 [2:45] The critical difference between "Techniques" (temporary fixes) and "Transformation" (lasting success). 🔹 [4:30] Why Mindset is the true foundation for building resilient, confident, and high-performing salespeople. 🔹 [6:00] How to use Accountability to create a culture of growth, not a culture of fear. If you're a sales leader, manager, or a salesperson frustrated with training that doesn't deliver real results, this is for you. It's time to stop putting band-aids on belief systems and start building the conviction that truly sells.
