Deliverables may include:
- Sales Strategy Overview: A focused analysis of your current sales approach, including initial recommendations to support outreach, lead qualification, and conversion, based on core principles of effective sales strategy.
- Ideal Customer Profile (ICP): A clearly defined ICP tailored to your business goals and market context, developed through guided research and audience analysis.
- Multi-Channel Prospecting Plan: A practical outreach plan outlining recommended tactics across select channels (e.g., email, phone, social media) to help increase prospect engagement and lead generation.
- Value Proposition Presentation: A concise articulation of your offering’s value tailored to a specific audience segment, supported by a short team presentation and rationale for messaging choices.
- Objection Handling & Negotiation Strategy: A foundational messaging guide with suggestions for addressing common objections and applying relationship-focused negotiation techniques.
These deliverables are designed to be practical and ready for use or adaptation by your team, while giving students meaningful, skills-based learning aligned with today’s sales environment.
