Sales Training & Coaching
Opportunity Management
Win complex sales at every level.
TechCXO Opportunity Management is geared toward today’s environment of long sales cycles, fierce competition, organizational politics, and knowledgeable buying committees. It delivers a process for improving sales performance, forecasting ability and resource allocation.
This helps sales team members establish value early in the sales cycle and teaches techniques for making a connection with customers by matching operational capabilities to political, cultural, financial and strategic issues. As a result, your sales team will sell strategic benefits to strategic buyers and operational benefits to operational buyers.
Who Should Attend
Opportunity Management is an in-person or virtual format workshop, plus reinforcement, and deals coaching exercises designed to install a common language and sales process among account managers, and both enterprise and high volume, transactional sales representatives. The course is preceded by a planning session with executive sales management and should be sponsored and attended by sales managers. It will also help you manage channel partner and strategic alliance managers with a common language and opportunity planning and process framework.
In this workshop, we’ll show you how to:
- gain greater control of each opportunity, the pipeline and forecast

- use a common language for managing opportunities – so your approach is consistent throughout the sales team and across geographies.

- quickly understand a prospect’s formal and informal decision-making processes
- gain political navigation skills to develop relationships with the right stakeholders
- effectively allocate resources and use your time more efficiently
- improve customer satisfaction, growth and retention

A Sound Investment
It is widely known that Sales Enablement and Training dollars can be largely wasted with traditional, compressed “2-day” training sessions. The difference between “we completed the sales training” and “we achieved the Sales Transformation” are huge. TechCXO’s Opportunity Management Clients achieve and often exceed their expected outcomes and ROIs by partnering with TechCXO during 1) critical process and cadence integration work, 2) reinforcement and ongoing coaching exercises, and 3) development of key coaching skills for Sales Leadership.
