Performance Insights, LLCis a sales training company that prepares salespeople in the B2B sales arena to create and sell value to high level decision makers.  PI is the creator of the Strategic Advantage Program™ and RELATE Selling™ which helps companies improve:

  • Sales Productivity,

  • Performance and

  • Profitability.

 Since 1995, Performance Insights, LLC has been dedicated to improving sales, management and human relations skills for individuals and companies committed to:

  • Working smarter and streamlining the sales process

  • Improving closing ratios and wanting to sharpen their edge

  • Developing new strategies to take revenues and profits to the next level.

 PI’s philosophy is that successful selling is based on “assessment” before “treatment” and that true behavioral change requires on-going reinforcement, coaching and learning.  We provide the resources your sales team needs to sell value (versus price) at high levels including: 

  • “GO BIG...or Stay Home:  Exploding Your Sales Potential and Achieving Your Financial Dreams” (Book)

  • Keynote Presentations by Donna L. Cohen Co-Author and Creator of RELATE Selling™ and The Strategic Advantage Program™

  • Sales Training Seminars

Performance Insights, LLC teaches nontraditional leading edge communication methods to create outstanding sales performers. We teach salespeople, sales managers, systems engineers, consultants and professionals to leverage their time and energy, turning prospects into clients by effectively communicating with prospects and clients and managing the process of moving through the sales situation. Just as importantly, we challenge our clients to dare to become the ABSolute Success they were meant to be!

Our success has come from constantly innovating and updating our proprietary sales training program from best practices in relationship selling, personality and behavioral theory, communication processes, human behavior and relationship management, and complex service sales.

In most cases, the negative self-talk that develops inside the salesperson's mind usually comes from redundant and incomplete old lessons that are inappropriately applied to today's selling situations. You may be one of those trapped if you feel anxious, annoyed or frustrated by the following questions: 

  • Do you spend too much time dealing with prospects who never buy?

  • Do you offer discounts just to close deals?

  • Are you frustrated with forecasts that just aren't in touch with reality?

  • Are you concerned that your buyers seem to always be in control of the sales process, and your success?

Every day, we teach people new ways to sell - techniques to find more prospects, qualify them more effectively, get to a decision-maker faster, and shorten the sales cycle.

Your prospects already have an effective system for buying. Do you have an effective system for selling?

If any of these are issues for you and you would like to find out if we can help, simply call us at 303-773-1492 .

1. On-Going Reinforcement Training

We believe that training is a process, not an event. Simply put, there are no quick fixes.

Studies show that one-day training events fail to produce lasting benefits. Mastering selling skills is like mastering golf or learning to play a musical instrument; it just doesn't happen in a short period of time.

Complicating the process is the fact that bad habits often must be unlearned before a breakthrough can occur. In fact, 85% of salespeople possess such ineffective skills that they are closing less than 50% of the business that they should close.

2. Focus on Attitudes, Behaviors, and Skills ( Strengthen Your ABS!)

Traditional sales training focuses on learning a series of probing questions at best (and high-pressure manipulative techniques at worst). But technique in and of itself is inadequate. In order to be effective, sales training needs to approach the sales process holistically, addressing each of three key areas:

Attitude: Understanding how improving self-esteem and eliminating self-limiting beliefs can get people out of their comfort zones and create truly superior performance.

Behavior: Setting goals, developing plans to achieve the goals, and monitoring activity.

Skills: Learning skills - specifically the non-traditional strategies and tactics that we teach - is highly effective in helping the salesperson qualify far more effectively and close more business with less discounting.

3. Evaluate Before Training and Monitor During Training

Because not everyone has the same skills or learns at the same pace, traditional training often fails. We begin with a complete, thorough, in-depth diagnosis prior to training, employing an advanced computer-based measuring and mentoring program during and after training, to guarantees results. Evaluating prior to training has been proven to be up to 50% more effective in creating the desired results from training.

4. Selling Is Competitive. Play It To Win!

We believe that selling is not just a job but a skill-based profession. Do what all the competitive athletes do: practice, execute and practice some more...
