Check out Mark Hunter's video to find out how he'll show you how to avoid discounting your price. | At the ChaCHING Lab, you'll discover how to implement a sales process and do what you need to do every day to generate a strong, predictable, trackable income flow. We have assembled some of the top sales experts in the country to share their expertise and insights, including Alan Weiss, Jill Konrath, Mark Hunter, Kendra Lee, Doug Devitre, Connie Dieken, Mike Staver and Suzanne Bates. This isn't going to be an exercise in sales theory. You're actually going to start working on your sales plan this weekend. In our "Do It Now" sessions, you'll roll up your sleeves and take several giant steps toward making your next sale and checking some of those hard-to-do "to-do's" off your list before the lab adjourns on Sunday. Come prepared with one big account you would love to land, and one that could expand your business. You'll work to come up with a plan to execute on those opportunities and make the sale!
