β€” SAMPLE EMAIL TO EXPENSE THE COURSE

MGR,

Β 

I have been listening to the brutal truth about sales podcast for X months and it speaks to the issues we face.

Β 

They currently offer a course that includes video instruction, group Q&A and One-on-One coaching. I'm committed to my own personal development and

would like your help in expensing the course.

Β 

It would pay for itself if I closed only one new deal of $X value.

Β 

Please let me know by Friday if I can move forward with this 1 year course.

Β 

Thanks,

ME

0:11.0

sales activity, the motions and the plays and the go-to-market.

0:17.0

Remember when it was just sales and marketing? Now it's go to market. But we've lost the

0:22.9

0:29.3

think of it as, well, I don't want to be their friend, but you do want to be friendly. Because the

0:35.2

magic happens when two people connect when they start talking

0:40.4

about what each other's cares about it turns into a business conversation and

0:45.6

from that business conversation the possibilities emerge this is the

0:51.2

magic of selling this is why companies hire salespeople.

0:55.3

1:19.1

I think you're really going to like this gentleman.

1:22.0

Great stories, great examples that you can take away and apply today, but don't have that. I know this. I've

1:31.6

done this. If you have great, become better at it. Think about it differently. Take your game to

1:39.3

the next level. And if you're in my courses, make sure you're checking out those office hours.
