If you are in sales, you have one and only goal -- measurable success. If you are a sales manager, you are in constant pursuit of making your reps a success. We all know that you can't just give someone a phone and a powerpoint deck and they will be successful. Otherwise, sales success would be easy. It's not. Type in "success" on Amazon and you will get 251,000+ search results. That's right. There are literally 100's of thousands of so-called blueprints for success.What's the answer? Where do we even start? In this webinar, Dan Waldschmidt from Edgy Conversations will present his findings from 1000's of interviews with ordinary people from a variety of professions who achieved extraordinary success to find the common denominator. He has the answers and it's not what you think. It's never what you think with Dan. Whether you are in sales, sales leadership, executive functions, etc, this is an absolute "must-see" so to help you over-achieve and help your employees over-achieve. Oh and by the way, Dan is probably the most electric, dynamic, inspiring speaker in the business world. The adjective that defines Dan is his company name: EDGY. As our keynote Jill Konrath said: " Dan shakes the status quo and kills sacred cows" We can't wait!

#SalesSummit

The Funnelholic Sales Summit sponsored by:

Lessons we learned from 1000 high performers.

WE’RE GLOBAL.We have supported clients on 6 continents in 12 different countries in 30 different industries. We leverage the significance of local culture and build strategies that are effective when doing business internationally.

Sales is hard work.(but then you already knew that)

The good news is that your best chance of delivering extraordinary results is being an ordinary dude. Overwhelmingly, people who need to be successful act differently.

They do different things.

We spent 4 years and thousands of hours studying why some people and businesses achieve MASSIVE success and other don’t.

Radical resultsdemandextreme behavior.Extreme behavior is significantly different than what everyone else is doing. Take your peak potential and give 110% of that – then double that. Then you’re 50% of the way toward being extreme.

The Science of Extreme BehaviorHow ordinary people end up doing extraordinary things

DesperationThat feeling in your stomach when you’re sure “it’s over”.

Focus+Radical Results

All of a sudden you find yourself achieving legendary success that no one else around you can understand.

When you finally decide to get serious about what needs to be done.

Very few people actually let their circumstances drive extraordinary results.

Depression and passive aggression are (sadly) much more common.

Only 1.

Discipline looks like insanity until it doesn’t.Disciplined activity has two different factors: the doing and the denying. Both are important to achieving extraordinary results. And they don’t necessarily need to magical. They are actionable.

The more logicalthings look, the less they really are.The same maddeningly illogical behavior you find inexcusable in others is the exact same way you are wired to respond – because your brain is programmed to protect you from anything that look scary or hurtful.
